CURING HIDES FOR THE TANNER.

A friend engaged in tanning, has called
our attention to the Importance of good
sound hides, if good leather is required
He says tone fourth of the hides sent to my
lanyard, are spoiled before I get them;
the fiber being softened and broken down
by decay" Hence we re-publish the follow.
ing article on this subject: n 4 b
The Superintendent of one of the best
arranged and managed Tanneries in the
country, communicates to us the following
directions for curing hides. If the hides
are at all injured, good leather cannot be
produced. Nearly all sent in by private
parties could be better cured, while hides,
a part cured under DR.. Baird's instructions,
are sent in, in the best possible order, but a
large proportion are much injured, if not
utterly spoiled. Hides may be cured green
or dry, according to the weather.
GREEN sAlTED HIDES.
In ordinary weather, fresh skinned hides
should be well salted on the flesh side, then
folded so as to lap the Aeshy parts togeth-
er, and then farther folded so as to be
rolled into small bundle. You have then
a compact parcel with Ii" hair out, easy
and clean to be handled, and taking little
room for transportation, and which will
keep for an indefinite time, and will be the
same to the tanner as green hides, which
are more easily worked, tanned in less
time, and make better leather than hides
dried in the usual way. Salt, besides Gu
ring and keeping the skins, acts most ben
efcially on them, and causes them to turn
out better quality of leather. Some may
object to the cost of salt-the injury done
to hides by careless management is far
greater, in point of value on an average,
than the cost of three or FIVE pounds of
salt required to cure hide. Although o
hide may appear uninjured to the eye, it
often proves to be tainted in spots, which
renders portion of it worthless. A great
many skins have been lost in our army
through carelessness or ignorance of this
way of saving them. The value Of q sin
gle hide lost would have saved twenty-five
or thirty with certainty. In fact, not a
hide would be lost if salt were freely used,
while thousands are lost to the country by
attempting to cure them in the usual way.
The saving in labor of ''breaking the
hide" as it is termed by the tanner; the
shorter time required in tanning; the bet
ter quality of leather; the ease Of hand
ling, transporting and storing small COM
pact bundles, compared with large, stiff,
awkward dry hides, are great advantages
over the usual mode of curing.
DRY sALTED HIDES.
In very hot weather, flies and bugs are
so troublesome as to require different man
agement. The hide should be well salted,
the salt rubbed in and then hung in the
sun for couple of days; after that dried
in the shade, and when sufficiently cured,
folded and put away. They are not SO
compact and convenient to handle as the
green salted, but work as easy and make

PAY MONEY WAGES.

fA1 MONEI WAGESs .t.....
Editors Sun - The labor question is par-
amount in Importance. General starvation
seems likely to supersede universal suffrage; !;
but it cannot be doctored 80 readily as po-
|litical illness. .'.' g..
An exhaustive article for one of our re-
views on the subject would beproftable, but
in newspaper, out of place and unsatisfac-
tory, from lack of space. I propose simply
to make few statements without adducing
proof. An examination of the labor system
of the world, as exhibited in the writings of
Loudon, Babbage, Wade and other authors,
will confirm these statements.
LIST. The n,etazer system, which is the
'joint system" or copartnership arrange
ment, is an evidence of the very low agri-
cultural condition of the country where it
obtains, and is bar to any Improvement.
Poland, Portugal, the poorest districts of
France, illustrates its failure.
I'd. Where agriculture is most profitable,
the universal rule is to pay money wages,
which keeps labor and capital distinct.
England, Scotland, Belgium, Austria and
Prussia, are familiar instances of it's splen-
did success.
8. Workmen cannot force wages up nor
employers force them dosOn by combina-
tions, but if let alone wages will find their
level.
4th. The employer, that is capital, must
take the risk, whether wages be paid in
money or in kind. He plans, risks, mana
ges. If his plans do not succeed. he alone
is accountable, and alone pays the penalty
of his miscalculations.
If you admit the laborer to share in the
profits, he can assume but a ve7y small
share Of the risk. 1t is principle of part
nership, that neither law nor reason recog-
nizes, in fact is at variance with common
sense.
5th. The 'joint crop PLAN has already
failed with the negro, after two years trial
thereby demonstrating the truth that what
the whole world has long since settled is not
exceptional in our free negro labor.
The hired laborer does cheerfully any
| job to which he is assigned, while your
free negro partner objects to your mode of
planting g, tilling and harvesting; waters
your cotton bales, appropriates corn and
potatoes, peas, pigs, and other small grain,
and absolutely refuses to do work upon
fencing and farm buildings but fails not to
commit waste everywhere.
The negro partner got, in 1865, one
tenth, in 1866, one-quarter, in 1867, one
third, for 1868 he demands one-half. How
long his native modesty will prevent him
from claiming the other half depends upon
his white partner.
conclude by requesting on examination
of two plantations, with resident owners,
under the two systems of paying laborers.
1t will settle the matter in favor of money
wages.
For the next year, if you have your corn
made on hand, you can pay sixty dollars
wages and board furnished, for frst-class
laborers. If you have corn and meat to
buy, you cannot afford to pay forty dol
lars. Pay money wages. ALABAMA.
