Country hides and skins make up

How to Skin Animals.
When animals are skinned on the

In q room with a concrete floor. The
limb of tree may be used for sus-

hides are removed indoors block and
tackle must be provided.
The animals should be cleaned oil,
curried and brushed thoroughly. in or

knife should be sharp though 1t should
not be used any more than Is absolute

may be avoided in taking on cnlf skins,
except on the head, neck. legs and

or listed OF. Where 1t is necessary to
use the knife. the skin should be drawn
taut with one hand. while the knife is

close to the skin. II this Is done there

skins. In lieu of the knife, some butch

a knife only on the portions Of the
