sweet Fern Instead of sumac for Leather
Manufacture.

sweet Fern Instead of Sumac FOR Leather
Manufacture.
The interest of the leather manufacturers, more
especially the tanners of calfskiEs and sheepskns
in Massachusetts,, has been considerably ex-
cited within the last few months by the attemp,
TO supercede the use of sumsc in tanning and
use in its stead an extract of sweet fern. BY
the prescott method sheepskins are required to
60 through two dist net processes, being tanned
first in hemlock and then tanned with sumac be-
fore they be properly finished. 1t is found
that but one tanning is Tired with the sweet
fern extract, aud that better colorng and finish
can be obtained with it than by the old method
and no sumsc is required. The only difficulty j:
that the same pumpncss Of the skin i, not obtain
ed as by using the hemlocs, but manufacturers
who have experimental with the fern extract,
state that this difficulty il easily obviated by using
a mixture of the two. The skins thus tanned are
superior to those tanned by the old method ac-
| curing better color and finish, and the leather
| itself being tougher and more solid. With calf
skins and splits the results obtained are very sat
isfactory, the color and finish being superior to
| anything heretofore produced under the old meth.
| cd. The qualities of the sweet fern. as shown in
| this extract, has only been known to the manu-.
| featuring public within The past year. The FIRST
attempt to manufacture fern extract was made in
1876 by parties in Hancock, in this State but the
capital embarked was small and the results were
not fairly satisfactory. Last year parties living
in East Machss renewed the idea, and together
with New York parties, invested larger capital
and produced the present extract under a new
! process, from the stalks and leaves of the fern
/ using about ton of the natural shrub to make a
| little more than 200 pounds of extract. 1t i,
thought by using the leaves alone, as sumac i,
used, still better results may be obtained. 1t i,
believed that this will prove to be discovery o
great value to the leather trade, and some of ths
largest manufacturers have already adopted it
The East Machias Company is at present the on
y manufacturer in this country, and the fern it
self is gathered solely in the vicinity of Eas
Machias 1t attains there greater size and strength
than in any other of the New England States
