Unhair

The sides, after being unhaired, are put in clean water over night, then green-shaved and put in a bate of hen manure four or five days.

They found that such a practice produced what was termed a "mellow" lime; the mellower the lime the more rapidly it unhaired the skin.

If the skin is soaked in an amine solution before being placed in the lime it unhairs at a faster rate, however, than if soaked in plain water, as shown in Table VII.
