These are methods of cleaning furs. (a) Rub with hot roasted bran, allowing the bran to enter the fur well. Then shake the fur and well brush. (6) Moisten bran with hot water and well rub it into the fur with a piece of clean flannel. Now take some dry bran and a clean dry flannel and rub this well in until the wet bran and the fur have become dry. To remove the bran, give the fur a good shake, a sharp but light beating with a cane, and brush with a soft brush, (c) Mix and heat in an oven equal parts of flour and fine salt, and thoroughly rub the hot mixture into the roots of the fur. Now well shake the fur, then throw it over the back of a chair, fur side upwards, and brush out any of the mixture left, using the end of a soft brush, and giving sharp "dabs" so as to get to the bottom of the channel formed by the parting of the fur, blowing well all the time.
