[...] A large number of cattle of the Punjab and a portion of the United Provinces are infected with warble and the hides from these parts of the country often reveal warble holes. [...] In the cases of green and wet-salted stock the soaking usually consists of washing in 2 or 3 changes of water in the former case to remove the adhering dung and blood and in the latter also the salt which was used for curing. [...] The object of deliming is not only to remove as the name implies the lime from the pelt but with certain classes of hides and skins also to dissolve some protein matter of the grain surface and the yellow elastic fibres to make the final leather smooth on the surface and stretchy to loosen the lime soap formed during liming and the dirt and to bring down the swelling of hides and skins.
