FLOOR WAX.
A good preparation for waxing floors may be obtained as follows:
| Yellow Wax | 25 | oz. |
| Yellow Ceresin | 25 | oz. |
| Burnt Sienna | 5 | oz. |
| Boiled Linseed Oil | 1 | oz. |
| Turpentine | 1 | gill |
Melt the wax and ceresin at a gentle heat, then add the sienna previously well triturated with the boiled linseed oil, and mix well. When the mixture begins to cool add the oil of turpentine, or so much of it as is required to make a mass of the consistence of an ointment.
The burnt sienna may be used in smaller or larger quantity, according to the tint desired, or may be replaced by raw sienna, etc.
