Smart weed--In Value in Tanning Leather.


A writer in the st. Louis Globe Democrat is en-
thusiastic over the discovery that variety OF
the smart weed which grows wild in Missouri in
such prOfusiOn to be nuisance, surpasses
bark in its tanning qualities. As its only cost
is that resulting from the labor of cutting and
stacking it, say 50 ton, while bark costs in this
State SIP per ton, it is argued that hereafter
millions of hides will annually be tanned in the
West instead of being sent TO the Eastern States
to be tanned, which involves the expense of
transportation both ways for the leather con-
sumed in the West besides paying the Eastern
capitalists and mechanics for work which could
inst well be done at home. 1t is said that
this plant yields at least 10 per cent of fannie
icid-an analysis by the Nebraska State chemist
gives y per cent. from the root and IL to 10 per
cent. from the plant-hemlOck and oak bark
yielding from IL to 13 per cent But even if the
rect, it does not follow that this weed will make
as good leather bark. There peculiar
properties for making good leather found in
bark that, so far as Is generally known, have
never been equalled in any other material.
More or less taunic acid is found in almost every
plant that grows. and in some the per centage of
tannin is high as from "A to so cent Yet the
leather produced by the use of these plants has
never come into favor, and that made from some
of them is not only bad in color aud defective in
other respects, but is liable 10 return to a condi-
tiOn very like that of raw hide, which is not the
case with bark tanned leather. The Globe Dem
ocrat correspondent says, however, that actual
experiment has shown that leather of better
quality than bark tanned leather can be made
with this weed i'll fifteen days less time and
that one ton of the plant will tan 400 pounds of
leather while the same weight of bark will pro
duce but us pounds.

Look Mt It-Exerybody!

Sooner or later the farmer and fruit grower
mnst recognize the fact that the birds are among
his invaluable aids. They should be protected
and cared for carefully as the pillow, the apple
tree aud grapevine. We can well afford TO per-
nit them To take small share of cherries and
berries for the voluntary service they render in
the destruction of insects which prey upon the
different kinds of fruit. BOYS who frequent the
streets, or roam at large through fields, orchards
and along hedge-rows provided with a pocket
full of rocks 10 hurl at birds, shOnld be taught
better. If the indiscriminate war upon these
friends OF the farmer can not be otherwise stop
ped, let the game laws be amended rs to pro-
tect these birds from hunters and those who
thOughtlessly destroy them drive them from
the country. The sooner we adopt a rigid poll
cy for the protection of the insect desruyers the
sooner shall we increase the annual production
of grain and fruit.
Not only should the birds be let alone, but
groves should be planted ard bird -huuses erected
To invite and encourage them to come and take
up their abode with They are by nature in
sect-catehers, aud We well afford to give
them free tickets to our cherry-urchartls and
berry fields They will more than pay for what
they eat, and finally, to a large extent, rid the
country eft Pestiferous insects. Let every man,
woman and child unite TO suppress the needless
and wicked killing of birds. Boys, stop throw
ing at the birts-rather protect them, aud
that nothing dsturbs their nests and songs.
Upon this subject of insects and birds, Horace
Greedy once wrote:
'If were TO estimate the average absolute
loss TO the farmers of this country from insects,
at one hundred million dollars per annum, /
should doubtless be far below the mark. have
no doubt that our allies in this inglOrious
are the birds. They would if did
not destroy them. The boy who rObs a birds
nest is robbing the farmer of part of his crops.
The farmer might as well consent that any stroll
ling ruffian should shoot his horses cattle as
his birds"
Instead of throwing stones at the birds, stone
the boys and hunters from your fields and groves
who in any way disturb them.-Spirit of Kansas.

The General Dram-shop act provides
in substance that before = license to sell

The CONCLUSION arrived ut alter = Care
fuf co,,sideratioH Ut the numerous
authorities cited by counsel is that the
iiquUr traffic stailds upon an entirely
different footing from that Of ordinary
xvocs1iOns. II is perfectly competent
for the legislature to prohibit it entirely
or u perrnit it under such restrictions
and upon such conditions as it sees
proper. Whoever desires to sell must
see to it at his peril that all restrictions
are observed and all conditions complied
with; and he cannot shelter himself be-
hind the wrongful acts Of Others. The
court is of TIE opinion that the petition
required by law is a jurisdictional mat
ter without which the city council had
no 4ushnfity to take any actbn what
ever in regard to licensing the Defendant
and That il the LICENSE in question was
granted without a petition such license
il absolutely void and affords no pro-
te, ton tn the defendant and that irs
invalidity may be shown in this action.

FIRE
The Kitchen just in the rear Of

covered to be on fire last Saturday
night, and although help arrived as
soon as could be expected, the bnild !
ing was entirely consumed, for some
time, the fine residence of the Judge
was in great danger, bat by the oxer-

counting for the origin of this fire, it
may have been from careessncss or

place on Tuesday last that has been
known for years. Several trees in

ten chickens killed, although feathers
are supposed to be non. conductors. A
