The farmer who wishes to kill and
skin an animal should select a clean,
hard spot, under tree If possible, or
If indoors, a room with concrete
floor. In the latter case q block and
tackle must be provided for swinging
heavy animals, while outside a limb of
tree may be used for suspending the
carcass. Before killing the animal
should be cleaned off, curried, and
brushed thoroughly in order to remove
all dirt, and care must be exercised
not to bruise or soil the hide or car
cass in the subsequent operations Of
killing and skinning. The skinning
knife should be sharp and should be
used no more than is necessary, as
special care must be used to avoid cut
ting the hide or skin. SHINING is
done best and easiest before the ami
NAL heat has escaped. it being essential
to leave all the flesh on the animal, as
its presence on the hide or skin is very
Objectionable.
The operations of skinning are diff
cult to describe so that they may be
followed easily, according to special
lists. In fact, experience in flaying.
especially of hides, can be obtained
only by practice. 1t requires somewhat
of knack, and much patience and
care must be exercised until the knack
is obtained No written directions can
be as clear and effective as actual OBJ
servation and trials. 1t is recommend
ed that the farmer or small killer take
advantage of any and all opportunities
he may have TO visit the larger killing
establishments where proper methods
are followed.
Skin the Head First.
After stunning and sticking the AMI
NAL in order that it ms bleed prop
eriy, the operator should begin skinnine
the head, cheeks, and face, as this
operation is easier to perform while
the animal is still suspended. When
skinning over the cheeks always leave
the meat on the head, as one of the
faults of country hides is the presence
of more or less cheek meat. Remove
the head by severing from the neck at
the top of the spinal column. or atlas
joint leaving the horns on the skull
and not on the hide.
The animal should then be complete
ly lowered, placed on its back. and held
in that position by using a spike stick
as prop, placing one end of it in the
brisket and the other in the ground or
floor. The legs should then be skinned
out and the feet removed. The dew
claws should be cut off. and after the
legs are skinned the hide should be
ripped down the belly from the stick
ing cut to the tail, making this neat.
straight rip, free from jagged edges.
The sides should then he skinned by
using the knife as q SHINING medium
working forward TO the brisket and
then back TO the inside of the hind leg,
close TO the tail, lifting away the hide
with the free hand and stretching il
tightly by pulling outward and upward
against the knife. No wrinkle should
be allowed to form under the hide as
it is being removed, while long,
steady downward stroke should be

RUSS COMPOSER
WINS TRIUMPH
Sergei Rachmaninof, with
Boston Symphony, Charms
Audience at National.

Sergei Rachmaninor, the noted
Russian composer and pianist, scored
another triumph with Washington
yesterday when he appeared as SOLO
list with the Boston symphony Or
chestra. Henri Rabaud conducting.
Because of the sensation that Rach-
maninofr created on his recent ap-
pearance here a capacity audience
filed the National Theater and stood
up in the rear of the seats to hear
the pianist play one of his most nota-
e minor.
Rachmaninon did not dissppoint IN
any respect All OF the extraordinary
talents which he exhibited during his
initial bow to Washington were re-
vealed again yesterday in a pleasing
manner and the three movements Of
the concerto each were accorded much
applause. At the conclusion Of this
final movement the audience recalled
the pianist five times.
The symphony was Brahms No.
in d major. Op. 20. Mr. Rabaud was
accorded much applause for his eN-
oellent direction of the beautiful sym
phony and his Interpretation produced
an exquisite effect with his finesse OF
beauty and marvels OF delicate har-
mony.
The concluding number stirred tho
audience almost as much as Rach-
maninor's concerto. the number be-
ing Lalo's' Rhapsody in A Major. q"
The orchestra drew out all the fire
that was written into the presto move
ment and displayed the skill of the
Boston artists in executing the novel
and delightful passages of the work.

that unless the people throughout
the country recognize the eXistence
