To Soften Skins.

There are two simple ways Of soft
ening leather and raw skins. One Is
to rub in thoroughly neat's-foot oil.
The other is to dissolve three ounces
Of alum, seven ounces Of salt and one
and one-half ounces saleratus in SUM-
cient hot rain water to saturate the
skin. When cool enough not to scald
the hands soak the skin In it for L
hours; wiring out and hang up to dry.
When dry repeat this operation two OF
three times until the skin is sufficient.
