spoonful of soda to three gallons soap
suds and washing repeatedly.
Place the hide upon round,
smooth log and scrape off all fat
with dull knife Then take the
brains of the animal and work them
thoroughly into he hide. which will
render it pliable. Now cover the
skin with powdered alum and lit

days. then hang mp 10 dry. and as
