II would pay for the trouble of drawinc
It some distance. The tanning or tan,
mic acid which the tanner extracts from

reality. because this is furnished from
the atmosphere; it takes nothing which
comes from the soil, and is of value
when returned to the soil. Leaves con-

the limbs or timber Of the tree. Bark
contains nearly as large a quantity of
these minerals as the leaves weight for
