The first process Is a soaking IN lime

ana other glue material remain for two
4veeks or more, in order that all the
rrease and blood may be eaten away
Int Immediately on removal the ma

Ivhich allow any adhering lime TO an

eperiod or nntil ills desired to use It

a firm gelatlnous liquid results IFow

The clear portion is now drawn on
from the first caldron Into n second
vessel and is known us FIRST run sinew
glue'-the best of all. A small qunn'
tfty of alum dissolved in water Is add
ed for the purpose of Clarifying the
glue by causing it to precipitate its I'M
puritIes.
In a second double boiler the Liquid
remains several hours, till it is perfect
" clear, and is then run on into the
conSeaIIng boxes, over the bottoms OF
which 1t spreads out in thin sheets.
The boxes are run into the cooling
rooms. where they remain until the
glue has hardened enough to be re-
moved In sheets. but not enough to be
brittle. In this state it is ready to be
cut.
The sheets are laid upon boards
which have previously been wet TO
prevent the glue from sticking. Here
the. cutting is done with tightly stretch
ed brass wires, as a firilin OF butter is
cut by the country grocer.
After q further drying on revolving

water and rubbed with q brush to give
them a polish They then pass TO. the
