Valuable and Expeditions
NJ ct nod Of Preparing Leather

Lieut.. II. w. Fields, 18th Va.
Infantry, has furnished us for pub
lication, the following valuable and
expeditions recipe for preparing
Leather, dressed with the hair on:
He vouches for the stability and du-
ration Of the leather thus prepared.
and refers to high authority for the
truth of his averment, as we'll as to
soldiers who have worn shoes made
from it.
We therefore publish it for the
benefit of formers and individuals
who may have hides to tan, and re-
commend that they test it. The
qides are not only quickly tanned.
la. the leather, when prepared, bears
m ,st favorable comparison with the
best produced by the long and tedious
process in vogue in England and in
this country. Many of the soldiers
in one, if not in more of the brigades
Of this army, have used shoes made
from this leather for months past,
and pronounced them superior, as
regards comfort and quality, to the
English and American Army shoes
MODE OF PREPARING LEATHER DREss-
ED WITH HAIR ON.
1st. If hides are old, hard and dry,
soak them in pure water about two or
three days.
Cd. When well soaked; or when
fresh hides, flesh them thoroughly.
Sd. Prepare a pickle mace of lbs.
alum, and lbs. common salt to
pint of water, enough to dissolve the
salts for each hide this is an aver
age proportion.
For every large single old hide
81 lbs. alum and S lbs. salt, may be
| necessary, whereas for a small calls
hide. 3 10. alum and lbs. salt may
be enough.
But for pack of IS hides unas-
sorted, Of all sizes and conditions the
average is as above.
4th. Soak the feshed hides in this
pickle from to 10 days. more or
less. according to condition of hides.
9Th Soak them again or 3 days
in pure water, to take out the salt.
9th. When about half dry break
them with the proper curriers' break
ing knives.
18th. Smoke them, the flesh side
down, say s or 10 days over hard
wood, hickory or oak smother, con-
tinuing to break and roll and grind
them in succession.
sth. Boil the Neatsfeet for oil,
safe the oil and Intricate the hides
with the jelly and greasy water
breaking them all the time.
9th. Dress and finish off
The small hides, thin and fresh.
can be finished in from 6 to s days:
Medium size hides, in good condition
from II to Is days. The largest
and worst conditioned hides can be
finished in from IS to 20 days. 1t
is recommended to take from Is to
20 days for all. If you want the
hair off. soak in lime water first, TN
til the hair sloughs but then you
must be careful to thoroughly work
the lime ont Or it will eat the fibre
of the leather.
f The leather is best with the hair
on. 1t makes the best and most
; comfortable shoes-soIes and all
Put the hair Of the upper, inside ;
and of the soles-put upper sole, hair
out. and outer side hair in, thus fill
, the soles with the best of water
