beam flesh Use the fleshing knife with one dull pushing stoutly in all directions. When whitened, ap- ply to the flesh side a thorough coating of the King of Leather Oil composed, as follows: 2 pints of either Sperm, Olive, Neat : foot Oil or fresh butler, 1 pint lu- bricating oil, 1 gill alcohol, a teaspoouful of concentrated lye dissolved, the yolk of 6 eggs well beaten. Jiang in the shade until nearly dry, then repeat the stretching —PATENT EAGLE— or whitening process. When ! >o dry, dampen ...by roll- ing in a wet cloth or in any other way. When the stretching is done, rover the hide with wheat bran un- til all moisture is removed. Smooth with saad paper, and scour the far or hair by taking wheat bran and fine sharp sand, equal pans; dry the sand and scorch the bran, then rub the fur or hair with it very hot with a stiff brush. This operation will remove all grease and enliven the fur or hair. Even old i'urs may be reno- vated in this way. The above is the simplest way for those tanning but few hides; but for extensive operations, instead of the last stretching over the beam, the hides may be broken in a wheel, made of boards, ten feet in diameter and two feet wide with pegs on the inside of the rim.
