TANNING HIDES The Process by Which Skins are Turned to Leather. An Industry Giving Employment to 50,000 Persons. A hide that is to bo converted into leather in this country makes so many visits to New York beforo Its career is ended that it becomes almost a metro¬ politan product. Whether it comes from some of the South American coun¬ tries or from the Western plains, New York is its first destination, and it is shipped hence to the tanneries nmong the Berkshire hills, in tho Catskills, in central New York, or in Pennsylvania. Converted into leather, it roturns to this city, and is lost amid the dark and not altogether savory leather warehouses in “the Swamp." Iu its new form it is again sent out, this time to the shoo factories of Now England, only to re¬ turn to tho New York wholesalers, to be distributed by them to various parts of tho country. Even after this some of the shoes are more than likely to find their way to New York while in use, and many of them end their days here. The South American states arc the great supply depots for hides, furnish¬ ing us with many times more than we receive from tho Western states of our own country. When the hidos reach New York they aTC either “wet salted” or “dry salted.” If the former, each hido is folded separately into nbout the space of a cubic foot, and secured with a rope arranged at neatly and evenly as the bands of a bale of cotton. If “dry salted," they are laid out flit and tied in large bundles. Where hidos and bark mcot, thero is tho tannery. There must bo an abundance of oak or hem¬ lock bark, or both, iu the vicinity, and the different kinds of hides arc sent to the different parts of the country where they can best bo cured—tipper-leuthors perhaps to Massachusetts, and sole- leathers to central New York. Received at the tannery, the ropes are cut, and tho hides are left for a few days to soak in the ‘ wator pits” be¬ neath the floor, to soften them and put them in condition to receive tho bark. They are then hung over wooden “horse-,” and cut down through the back to separate them into “sides,” After this the hides are put into the vats for a warm or cold “sweat," or nro soaked for a few days in a solution of lime and water, the latter being tho process in general use. This loosens the hair, which is taken off by “beam¬ ing” or “fleshing" the hide by hand, with an implement like a blunt draw¬ ing-knife. All the rough parts are trimmed off, and tho hide is “green- shaved” to remove tho roughness from the flesh side. The work of tho lime is now accomplished, and the skin is “unlimcd” by repeated drcnchiugs in warm water, till it is almost as while as a new shirt. Then tho real tanning begins. The “liquor,” made by “leaching” water through ground bark much as old housewives make lye from wood ashos, is stored in tank9, and the hidos are dipped till they get a pale leather color, aud aro left in piles for a day or two. Then part of the floor is removed, aud the vats aro exposed, aud as each hide is spread out in tho vat it is care. fully covered with dampened ground bark. In this “first layer” the hides are left foy a week, in the ‘second layer” for two weeks, and iu the third or “splitting layer,” for four weeks. After hanging out for a few days to dry, they go through an iron roller machine to bo “split,” which makes them uniform iu thickness, aud on tho flattening board the Htiekor parts arc pounded out. After another soaking in strong bark liquor they go through the process of “currying," wtiich in¬ cludes scouriug, stretching and black¬ ing. Sole-leather needs no currying, and is tanned to a firm condition, in. stead of being, like upper-leather, stretched to firmness. A day in a tannery is a day well spent, acquainting the visitor with an industry that gives employment in this country to more than fifty thousand persons. Leather experts say that it is on account of the superior quality and groat quantity of work dono by em¬ ployes in American tanoerios that they are able to sell Americau leather in the markets of Europe in successful com- petition with the product of cheap Eu¬ ropean labor. “We pay a man," they say, “three dollars a day, and ho docs three dollars' worth of work. In Eu¬ rope they pay him only one dollar, and get only a dollar’s worth in return.”_ Harjier't Weekly. Facts About Hotel Registers. “Probably very few travellers, as they affix their signatures to the reg¬ ister, notieo the fact that nine-teuths of the best hotels in the country are supplied with such books by the same firm,” remarked a Grand Hotel clerk yesterday. “Such is the case, how¬ ever, and, what is more to the paint, the registers don’t c>st the hotels s cent. They are supplied gratis by 3 firm in Chicago, who makes its money — nd lots of it, too—from the ad¬ vertising printed iu the books. AU that is asked of the hotels is a contract that they will use no other registers than those supplied by the firm mou* (toned, and it furnisne* goo 1 book*, with a fine quality of paper.’ * FOR FARM AND GARDEN. PKLI I.NO ltYK straw. yc straw has many use* that give it a commercial value far above what it is worth as manure. It is too expensive to be used as stock beddihg by fanners who wish to rot down other straw, and so mix it with the stable manure aud thus rot it down. But it is well adapted to tho city horseman, who has not much room for straw, and alms to make a small quantity do the most scivico for bedding for his animals. It is so still that it scarcely nbsprbs any moisture from the urine, aud is hardly per¬ ceptibly soiled by the excrement of grain-fed horses, until it has boen used several times .—American Cultivator. OPENING A SILO. There is little sympathy to waste on tho man who ruins his silo of fodder by opening it at the bottom. He should know, if ho knows anything, that tlie natural draft of air is always upward, and by opening at tha bottom ho sim¬ ply invites a current of air through the volume of silage above, to its certain destruction. Not ouly should he begin taking from tho silo at the top, but ho should make tlieexposcd part as small as possible. The mere fact that he is try¬ ing to kocp tho contents from tho air should teach him to keep that air away from it as muck as possible. — Hoard*' Dairyman. THE WHITE on OX-EYE DAISY. Tiie white daisy is a native of Eu¬ rope, but bos become widely spread over this country, and on its first intro¬ duction into meadows cxcitc l a good deal of alarm on account of the diffi¬ culty often experienced iu exterminat¬ ing it. It is a perennial, is propagated from tho scod and whon it once gains a footing in a timothy meadow about tlie only remedy is tho plough. One season of clean cultivation will clear the field of it, but as the seed is exceedingly light, it is easily carried by the wind, and may thus be transplanted from neigh¬ boring mead ows. Its most common manner of introduc¬ tion is in grass seed, and whenever it appears, if not too numerous, every white blossom should bo pulled out aud destroyed before it ripens its seed. An- oiher plan is to mow the grins early, beforo tho daisy matures its seed, Tho plant grows from one to two feet in height, with but few branches and sometimes several stems from the same root. The main stem and the few long branches are each terminated with a single head of flowers. The stem is rather sparsely clothed with narrow, coarse-toothed or gashed leaves, and tho single head of flowers when expanded is from nn inch to an inch and n half in diameter. The points in which farmers are most interested arc how to get rid of it when it has nppeared and how to prevent its introduction. On meadows of high fertility the grass and clover will keep tho weed down, so as to render the task of oxterminating it comparatively easy. Where the land is thinly clothed with grass and the daisy abundant a fallow or hoed crop will be required. In pastures the close grazing of sheep will keep it down. To prevent its iatroduc- ton care must he used in buying pure iced, and neither hay that contains the weed or animals that havo eateii hay in¬ fected with it should ho brought on -lie furm. BARNS MOVED BACK. Farmers can remedy one evil by a ittle trouble. Most of the barns were erected flush with tho highway, and be¬ fore steam came into use as a motive power for threshing grain, Horse- powers were run by a shorter belt than is used for steam, and they could bo so placed as not to block the road, but now, with longer belts, the road is en¬ tirely blocked in many eases. To pass, teams have to drivo around in the fields, for the engine must come to a halt and the belt be thrown off. In either case horses are frightened and the occupants of carriages in constaat fear, This business has become a nuisanej. Five of the first six farms in a certain direc¬ tion from me are thus situate!. Barn s should be either moved back from tho road or turned to face another that the engines may be placed in tho field. To make the chango it may re¬ quire some timbers in most cases, and now is tho time to get them out of the woods, and havo them in readiness against the time wheu tho barns shall be empty .—Hete York Tribune. E^KLY POTATOES. It is an item to havo at Ioa9t a few early potatoes, aud it will pay to take a little pains to secure them. One of the first items to secure is good seed, uot only of au early variety but of a good quality. Potatoes, like all other sued, will run out, unless good care is taken in the selection. And the quality has considerable influence in securing a supply early. It is best to secure the seed in good season, so that when the time comes for plantiug the seed there need be no delay. The soil should be well drained; it not tyider-drainej, good surface drain- age should be provide J. While pota¬ toes Require considerable moisture, yot in a cold wet soil they will make a very poor growth; hence it is best to see that good drainage is provided. A rich loamjr soil -that can be readily worked into a good tilth is be‘-t. One item is: Secure a quick growth; and a good supply of available plant- fcod is necessary. v If good drainage cannot readily bt lec-ared, a good plan ia to make mall ridgei, not as high as for sweet pots* toes nor as large. For the centre of this make a reasonably good furrow, and in those places where the seed is to be dropped put a small spadeful of fresh manure. Cover this lightly with soil- two inches will be plenty. On this plant the seed. Use good medium* sized potatoes, neither too large nor small. Step on the seel after planting so as to press well into tho soil, and then cover. Bulging up gives a better opportu¬ nity for drying out aud warming tip. Thu fresh manure will aid materially to keep tho soil warm. I tried putting the manuro on top, after planting tho seed, and covering with soil, but I pre¬ fer to put the fresh manure in tho bot¬ tom of the furrow and put a thiu layer of soil over this, and planting the seed. Give good cu'tivation, keeping tho soil in a good tilth, so as to induce a quick growth .—Prairie Farmer. FARM AND 0AllDEN NOTES. A. layiug hen should never bo too fat. To get behind with work invites ca¬ lamity. Patronize the morchant who treats you well. The patient man is the right one to handle colts. Unleached ashes are recommended for the grape vines. Feed the peach and apple trees. They cannot livo on nothing. If trees aro so dense as to shut out the sunlight prune them. Make a note of every event on your farm this year—“and don’t you forget it.” Early-matured stock is raised at greater profit than those maturing slow- >y- A dry dust bath is an effectual in¬ strument in removing vermin from fowls. Clean pens for pigs and clean bed¬ ding will do much to ward off lice and disease. Keep your animals on the gain and you will lessen the per cent, of disease and death. Don’t drive upou the meadow when it is soft, and be sure and keep the cat¬ tle off of it. If you shut up the pigs in a pen givo them variety in feed if you would have them thrive. It is a poor farmer that can’t find anything to do on his farm that is worth doing. Scatter some fine lime over the poul¬ try yard occasionally; it will help to prevent disease. Early-hatched chickens bring the best prices, and bring in money at a time when you need it. Don’t try to spread yourself over more acres than you can cover (cul¬ tivate) woll in 1890, All experience shows that the most vigilant and active cultivators, who dc therr work in the best season, have the advantage over laggards. It requires 4J pounds of corn meal to produce one pound of pork, or one bushel of corn mado into meal and fed will produce 12j pounds of pork. This is the season, too, for studying plantations and marking for removal trees which are injuring their more valuable neighbors. No troo can at¬ tain its full stature or its noblest ex¬ pression or have a reasonable hope of longevity unless it is exposed to the in¬ fluence of air aud sunshine. Human Sacrifices oil the Congo. Next to cannibalism, tho most terri¬ ble practice in tho Congo Basin is that o£ human sacrifices on the occasion of the funeral ceremonies of important persons. The richer the family of the ! , deceased person the more numerous aro the victims. Many photographs of Up¬ per Congo huts that have reached this country show the ridge-pole adorned with human skulls—ghastly relics of these murderous scenes. The natives cannot understand the horror with which the whites regard this practice. “Surely,” they said to C'oquilhat, “since you white men are to much richer than we arc, you must sacrifice many slaves when your great mou die." Because far up the tributaries slaves can be bought much cheaper than on tho Congo, canoo parties aro sent for hun- drels of miles for the sole purpose of buyiug victims for human sacrifices. As a rule thete hapless captives meet their fate without a tremor. They are bliml- folded, bound to a stake in a sitting or kneellug posture, aud a single blow of the skilful executioner’s knife decapi- tates them. C'oquilhat mado a picture 0 f one of these terrible seen os at Equa- i tor Station, where 14 strong mou met their fate surrounded by a howling mo b, whoso din was enhanced by a dozen ivory horns and the roar of drums as the knife descepded. Though nj en f or m the greater number of vie tints, wives or femalo slaves are often strangled end thrown into the open grave or buried alive in it. Only once have the whites seen a wom^n behead¬ ed, and the shrieks of the poor creature were in striking contrast to the fogged and sullen submission to the-fate of the other victims.

The result was that dreds of poor creatures traveled miles to discover that they had been hor.xed. They wasted their time, spent some and of their precious pennies for car-fare, suffered the pangs of cruel disappoint¬ ment, in order to provide a scoundrel with the pleasure of making a fool of thorn and a blackguard of himself. To miscreants say that hanging is too good for such just as those is to express the resentment their wanton outrages provoke very mildly indeed. The only punish¬ ment which we can imagine ns adequate to their offenses would be to slowly tor¬ ture them to death with their own prac¬ tical jokes. Value of Earth 'Worms. The weight of earth worms bring to the surface yearly is enormous. Darwin esti¬ mated that worms, by swallowing earth for the sake of the vegetable matter it contains and forming castings, bring to the surface as much as ten tons of earth per annum on an acre. Worms are great promoters of vegetation by boring, per¬ dering forating and loosening tho soil, and ren¬ it pervious to rains nnd the fibres of plants, by drawing straws and stalks of leaves and twigs mto it, and, most of all, by throwing up such infiuite numbers of lumps of earth called worm casts, which form a fine manure for grain and grass. The earth without worms would soon become cold, hard-bound, void of fermentation and consequently sterile; this has occurred in many cases where the worms have been either accidentally or intentionally destroyed, and the fertility of the soil thus lost has only been re¬ stored when the worms lind again col¬ lected and resumed their fertilizing work.

The temperature of this ill-omened region the is unifoiinly low, rarely falling below freezing p.iint, and seldom very much above it." The climate of the west coast of Africa, particularly Seirra Leone, is also most disagreeable. The shores and estuaries of the rivers of this coast are low and marshy; the chief characteristic of the climato is excessive moistuer, the average annual fall of rain being 189 inches, and the mean temperature 81 degrees.
