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.”_

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*'

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

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.

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. The

A BAD SPELL.
A merchant's clerk wrote a check for forty dollars, and spelled the numerical
adjective “ f-o-u-r-t-y.” His employer directed his attention to the error, with
the remark, “ You seem to have had a bad spell this morning.” To which the clerk
replied, “Sure enough ; I’ve left out the “g-h.” Let us hope the clerk will still
further amend his orthography, meanwhile, if anybody is suffering from a “ bad
Spell" of headache, superinduced by constipation, over-eating or other indiscre¬
tion, let that person ask his druggist for Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets.
They are entirely vegetable in composition, and are prompt and effective in
action. They are specific in all derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels.
They are strongly catliarti v or mildly laxative according to size of dose. Un¬
equaled as a Liver Pill. A mallcst, cheapest, easiest to take. One tiny, Sugar-
coated Pellet a dose.
