1 gallon goat milk

6 oz. Slake Lime

4 oz. Linseed Oil

3 oz. Calcium Carbonate

Mix the ingredients in the order they are listed, being sure to mix each ingredient well before adding the next.

Store in tightly covered container. Be sure to stir thoroughly before using. Can be used inside on barn wall or in the house.

Slake Lime and Calcium Carbonate should be available at your local hardware store or elevator.

this came from Mary Jane Toth's book........"Goats Produce Too!"
