No black Cea aee behind a bullet! On account of its 
wonderful action in Rifles and Pistols, King’s Semi- 
Smokeless has been adopted in all metallic cartridges 
(excepting smokeless) without advance in price.

TO TAN HIDES: Wit oe Tid Ey Ee 
ON. 
One pound of salt, 1% pounds of alum, 
3% of a pound of sulphur, 4% of a pound 
of arsenic. Put in 4 quarts of water and 
let it dissolve. 
This quantity of solution’is enough for 
several small skins, but more might be 
required for large ones. 
Clean the skin of surplus flesh as nearly 
as possible, and rub the solution in. Place 
the skin on the floor. Fold the edges and 
pour the liquid on. Then roll it up so the 
liquid will not leak out. Roll the skin 
in paper and put it in a dark place. Leave 
it a day or 2; then rub it hard, put it in 
more liquid and lay it away again. By 
this time any flesh or sinews will peel off 
easily. Rub again and put away with more 
solution inside. 
Then hang it up and as it dries rub well 
and stretch, being careful not to tear. 
With plenty of rubbing and stretching it 
will become as soft as silk and white as 
snow. Skins such as mink, fox, muskrat, 
etc., will tan in 3 days. 
I have tanned deer, coon and small skins 
to perfection. This process costs next to 
nothing and certainly does the work bet- 
ter than any I have ever used. I have 
dipped skins into the solution, but it is 
hard to get it off the hair when dry. (
