j ect a day in urine and indigo, then boiling it with alum; or it may
be given by tempering the indigo with red wine, and washing the
skins therewith. (Another.)—Boil elderberries or dwarf-elder,
then smear and wash the skins therewith and wring them out;
then boil the elderberries as before in a solution of alum water,
and wet the skins in the same manner once or twice; dry them,
and they will be very blue. (Bed.)—Red is given by washing
jthe skin and laying them two hours in galls, then wringing them
'out, dipping them in a liquor made with ligustrum, alum and
verdigris; in water, and lastly in a dye made of Brazil-wood
boiled with lye. (Purple)—Purple is given by wetting the skins
with a solution of roche alum in warm water, and when dry, again
rubbing them with the hand with a decoction of logwood in cold
water. (Green)—Green is given by smearing the skin with
sap-green and alum-water, boiled. (Dark Green)—Dark green
is given with steel-filings and sal ammoniac, steeped in urine till
soft, then smeared over the skin, which is to be dried in the shade.
(Yellow)—Yellow is given by smearing the skin over with aloes
and linseed oil, dissolved and strained, or by infusing it in weld.
(Light Orange)—Orange color is given by smearing it with fustic berries boiled in alum-water, or, for a deep orange, with turmeric. (Sky-color)—Sky color is given with indigo steeped in
boiling water, and the next morning warmed and smeared over
the skin.
Operation of Tanning.—The first operation is to soak the hide,
as no hide can be properly tanned unless it has been soaked and
broken on a fleshing beam. If the hide has not been salted add
a little salt and soak it in soft water. In order to be thoroughly
soaked, green hides should remain in this liquor from 9 to 12
days; of course the time varies with the thickness of the hide.
The following liquor is used to remove hair or wool, viz: 10 gallons cold water (soft), 8 quarts slacked lime, and same quantity
of wood ashes. Soak until the hair or wool will pull off easily.
As it frequently happens it is desirable to cure the hide and
keep the hair clean, the following paste should be made, viz:
equal parts of lime and hard-wood ashes, (lime should be slacked,)
and made into a paste with soft water. This should be spread
on the flesh side of the hide and the skin rolled up, flesh side in,
