How to Skin Animals. y When animals are skinned on the farm. the operation should be per- formed on a clean, hard spot under a tree, if' possible, or, if done indoors, in a room with a concrete floor. The Imb of a tree may be used for sus- pending the carcass, but when the hides are removed indoors a block and tackle must be provided. The animals should be cleaned off, curried and brushed thoroughly, in or- der to remove all dirt. The skinning knife should he sharp, though it should not be used any more’than is absolute- Iy necessary. The use of the knife may be avoided in taking off calf skins, except on the head, neck, legs and flanks, as the hody skin may be drawn or fisted off. Where it I8 necessary to | use; tire knife, the skin should be drawn | taut: with one hand, while the knife Is uded. with the other, special care be- ing taken to hold the back of the blade .close to the skin. If this is done there 18 less danger of cutting or scoring the skins. In lieu of the knife, some butch- ers use a sharpened wooden stick shaped like a man’s thumb, and employ a knife only on the portions of the body mentioned. The first operation in removing a hide is to skin the animal's head, cheeks and face. This should be done while the animal is still suspended. Always keep the hide free from meat, as one of the common faults of country hides is the presence of more or less meat, usually cheek meat. The next step In the operation is to lower the animal on its back and remove the skin from the legs. Following this, the ———— hide should be ripped down the belly daged shut so from the sticking cut to the tail, mak- '‘Ing a neat, straight rip, free from large lumps or dirt. stain the flesh side of the hides. pound of salt to each pound of the hide ’!s the rule. | If the hides are to be stored, they should be placed In cool (60 to 65 de- grees Fahrenhelt) cellars, from which the outslde air is excluded. Tree Hid Loot 39 Years. A gilt etuck and other articles were stolen thirty-nine years ago from a manston near Wokingham, Eng., where the marquis and marchioness of Down- shire resided then. Recently a man saw a spike protruding from the side of a stump of a tree that had been felled. Thinking this unusual, he looked Into the stump and found the long-lost clock. rusty but intact, and some photograph frames In filigree work—the thief’s hoard. A local watchmaker identified the¥ock and 1s now cleaning and restoring it. KEEP KNOCKED-OUT- TEETH | Dentist Can Replace Then in Mouth 8o That They Will Soon Give Good Service. When one's front teeth are knocked out there is no need to leave them on the floor, for they can be reinserted very well by a good dentist. Dr. HM Savery tells In the Landet (London) of two cases in which the teeth were completely dislocated from their sock- ets. In one case the teeth were placed in salt water while the dentist carefully washed out the sockets. Then they were reinserted, a stitch or two placed in the gumns and the jaws were ban- that the teeth bit on a In the other case the pad of lint. teeth still hung to the gums, so the Dirty salt will | One | GOOD WORK IS OUR SPECIALTY at the GRAND RE Written and Direc FIVE-PIECE 10c and 20c THEATRE Jack Pickford Film Co. presents Jack Pickford Ina Comedy Drama of Smiles and Frills “Burglar by Proxy” _ A First National Attraction Also Two-Reel AMBROSIE COMEDY Matinee Daily e ————————— TS ) TONICGHT ted by Jack Dillon i ORCHESTRA Night 7:20-9 o’clock COMING THIS WEEK THURSDAY — Alice Brady in “The Indestructible el 1 { ing at 8 o’clock in the library by the IF jagged edges.
