Page 71 - Heat the solution of soap, and add it boiling hot to the kerosene. Churn the mixture by means of a force pump and spray nozzle for five or ten minutes. The emulsion, if perfect, forms a cream, which thickens on cooling, and should adhere without oiliness to the surface of glass. Dilute before using one part of the emulsion with nine parts of hot water. The above formula gives three gallons of emulsion, and makes, when diluted, thirty gallons of wash.
Page 71 - Sturtevant, director of the experimental farm at Geneva, NY, says that an emulsion, composed of one ounce of common soap, one pint of kerosene oil, and one and one-half gallons of water, kept continually stirred while using to prevent the oil floating on the surface, and used through the rose of a water-pot, will destroy all worms (on cabbage) that get thoroughly wet with the mixture,

Page 71 - The kerosene and soap mixture, especially when the latter is warmed, forms upon very moderate agitation, an apparent union ; but the mixture is not stable, and separates on standing or when cooled or diluted by the addition of water. A proper emulsion of kerosene is obtained only upon violent agitation. It is formed, not gradually, but suddenly ; in short, to use a familiar phrase, 'it comes
Page 72 - Another frequent cause of failure is the attempt to form an emulsion by churning together a small quantity of kerosene and a large quantity of diluent. Only a very unstable union can be effected by this means. The very essence of the process requires that the oil shall be broken down by driving into union with it a smaller, or at most an equal, quantity of the emulsifying solution, after which, if a genuine emulsion is formed, it may be diluted dd libitum with water.
Page 211 - ... Southern Michigan to Southern Tennessee and from the west slope of the Appalachian Mountains westward to the prairies, has long been famous as the source of our hardwoods, yet it contains only half as much standing timber as Oregon. In other words, it may be stated that Oregon contains as much timber as that portion of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and north of Arkansas, Tennessee and North Carolina. Carrying this comparison a step further, it is found that the territory to the...
Page 71 - The above formula gives three gallons of emulsion, and makes, when diluted, 30 gallons of wash. The Kerosene and soap mixture, especially when the latter is warmed, forms upon very moderate agitation, an apparent union ; but the mixture is not stable, and separates on standing or when cooled or diluted by the addition of water. A proper emulsion of kerosene is obtained only upon violent agitation. It is formed not gradually, but suddenly. The temperature should not be much above blood heat...
Page 194 - Fahrenheit, a different product is the result, wholly unlike either the fresh or sundried fruit, and which will keep better, is more digestible and nutritious, is less acid, and will sell for more in the market. But if, after having heated the air hot enough, there is not sufficient circulation, or the current not rapid enough, the fruit will cook and then dry or burn the same as in a close oven. Apples will cook in boiling water of a temperature of only 212° Fahrenheit, or bake in an oven at 225°...
