CURING HIDEs.-A correspondent of
the Deseret News gives the following di-
rections for curing hides
"I find that most of the hides now
offered for sale have been nearly and many
Of them entirely spoiled, for wantof proper
care and management. Many think it
sufficient to hang up hide in the sun and
dry it; this mode may answer in some eli
mates, but here it will spoil the hide
Hides thus exposed become as hard as the
horn or hoof, and it requires much more
labor to make leather from them, and then
the leather is not half so good in quality.
l would suggest the following as the
best mode of preserving hides: Take
them when green, spread them outsmooth,
flesh side up, and sprinkle salt evenly all
over them; then fold them together,
straight down the back, and let them re-
main "a hours; then hang them on a
straight pole in the shade. Never allow
them to be exposed to the sun, neither in
summer or winter The same treatment
will answer for all kinds.
If these suggestions could be carried
out, many hides that are now entirely lost
would be brought into use, much labor and
material saved, and better leather in mar
ket."

Difficulties will increase,
While in Sloth's power lying;
But put your shoulders to the wheel
There's nothing like trying
There's nothing like trying, boys,
Nothing like trying.
Though little may be that you can
Do to befriend your fellow-man,
There's nothing like trying.
Give as much as you can spare
Twill comfort you when dying;
Ne'er say, I can't" but persevere-
There's nothing like trying
