Preservation of the Skins ctjn tu,...â 1. â , ^ â . r btill there does exist a certain rate ot mor- At the present time rabbit sl gi\e rules small, diminishes the value of the skin. There are several ways of drying the skins, though it is always rather difficult to keep them supple and intact. The following method is the one we recommend. Flay the animal as soon as possible, nail the skin on a board, stretching it well, and brush the flesh side with very hot water and a stiff brush until not a particle of the flesh remains and the skin is perfectly clean. Let it dry, and after a few hours rub it with a weak solution of alum. Repeat this for three days and the skin is ready. It would, however, be better to send it to an experienced tanner. IV.
