Tanners Cling to Old Methods and Use but

mechanical inventions than that of prepar-

Carriage Makers Especially Anxious to Show
Their Wares to Prosperous Farmers.

Secretary Heron, of the State Board of
Agriculture, says there is a perfect food of

year. and that the exhibit will, from pres

will be as full. perhaps greater. than ever
before. The carriage men thus far have
the lead in their demands for space,
as the applications from this class
of manufacturers alone, now in, would
take the entire Exposition building.
The competition among carriage builders
is noted as keener than ever. and the big
factories in Indiana n adjoining States
are running day. and night The signif-
canoe of this is that the farmer is prosper

1t is as long as any hide, and has a sharp
knife for the cutting. The thickness Of the
piece cut is arranged by a lever, and in
case of uneven places, there is a movable
roller of short sections resting against q

the movable pieces to press against or

The leather made for carriage tops and
dash-boards is japanned. and after the ia
pan Is dry it is softened and made pliable
covered with leather, and the piece
is doubled, the upper part being
rolled out fiat by means of this shield-like
instrument ut the same time. This gives q
grain to the leather, but before it is grained

of the hide are used for insoles, and other
things where an uncOlored leather is desir-
able; When the leather is not split and is
finished by %japanning it is used for carriage
bows. The %iapanning requires a week. A
greasy black cOloring is applied after the.
hide is stretched on a frame, and this is
dried in the sun in summer or in a
hot oven in winter. The several
coats are put On aud dried,

Gus shades which are found on furniture.
The shades used on furniture are made to
suit the calls of fashion, for the style in
color changes almost as often as any other
style. The embossed feathers are made by
heavy pressure, whereby the figures of the
print become raised or depressed. The
most desirable hides come from the
the blessings which an animal
suffers will show on the hide.
Barbed wire scratches are the greatest
enemy to the leather business, for every
scratch shows on the leather, even after it
has passed through all the various pro-
cesses. Brier scratches and grubs also
show. so very few hides, are perfect. A
