FUR FACTS 165 



for mounting purposes do not leave the bones in the feet, or the bone 

 in the skull. Take the skin ofiE from around the feet very carefully 

 and cut away all of the superfluous meat and fat from around the 

 head. Then see that the skin is thoroughly and carefully dried 

 before packing it for shipment. Do not use any preservatives in 

 drying the pelt or chemicals of any kind, as they are liable to inter- 

 fere with the dressing of the skin and spoil it for the taxidermist.
