The PALMETTO FOR TANNING.
Some ofthe Points in It's Favor Stated
at Length.

MF. Loomis' very interesting article
about palmetto in the MORNING NEWS OF
Feb. 2 has some points which are likely to
mislead, as regards tanning with the same
For m any years il has been tried to tan
hides W it'll inorganic compounds, such
as alu m, sulphur and chronic
acid. All these processes are very quick,
but the leather thus obtained is very porous
and not strong; besides, when il gets wet
and is exposed to tue rain il cracks aud
blisters, aud being inferior in every
way will only compets with oak, hemlock
or palmetto tanned leather as O cheap inli-
tation. Besides, there is always a loss in
weight in the tanning with inor-
ganlc matter, which generally
cuunterbalances the additional cost
Of organic tanning material, which, as a
rule, adds considerably to the weight of
leather. Mr.. LOOMS trial with chronic
acid, and his non-success, have consequently
| nothing to do with tanning with organic
matter in general, aQd especially not with
5ne point in discussion namely, palmetto
| fannie acid, or, as named by me, sabalins.
Organic tanning, or tanning with yegeta-
BILE matter cOataiaing more or less taunic
acid, is entirely different aud is classed in
two distncs varieties: l. Physiological
tannio acid is found in the oak, hemlock,
| chestnut, willow and the palmetto This
acid, whether it is taken direct from the
bark by hacking, or whether it is used as a
concentrated extract, will al ways have the
same effect-to add considerably to the
| weight OF the raw hide. La other words,
the hide will absorb considerable quantity
OF tannin and gain in weight. Physiological
| fannie acid can easily be ascertained, as il
| gives a black precpitate with fercic salts,
producing tannate of iron. 2 PATHOLOGY
cal fannie acid Is found in sumach, gals,
| oivi-divi and catechu, and is probably
a mixture of fannie acid and gallo acid, or.
as it is termed by some, gallotannic acid
1t will form green precipitate with iron
/ and will not make a solid or water proof
leather, and is only used for the tanning of
sheepsklns or as mixture with cak bark,
where very bright leather is required.
II Mr.. Loomis is correct in his statement
that there are 300 patents existing on pal
metto. it is strange that none has ever
been sought for tanning or tannic acid.
| When l applied for patents my lawyers in
| Washington informed me that it was an
entirely new field, and that no patents
whatever in this line had ever been applied
for or granted. / have thoroughly
studied the tanning capacity of palmetto
and had the extract analysed by competent
chemists, which gave fair percentage of
! fannie acid, and am satisfied. 1t is also
the opinion of expert tanners in Massa-
chusetts that palmetto will tan leather as
| well as oak bark does and that it is by far
superior TO hemlock. Being almost free of
coloring matter, it can be used where only
sumach was formerly used. Nobody dis
1 putes its abundance nor cheapness, and it is
| bound to become very important factor
as far as the tanning industry is concerned.

TEE MILITARY IN MAY.
The Hncampment Feature of the
Merchants Week Celebration.

The Encampment Featurs of the
Merchants Week Celebration.
There was an error in yesterday morn
inp's report of the meeting of the Mer-
chants Week Association with regard to
the encampment OF the Fifth Georgia
cavalry. Col. Gordon did not say that the
cavalry regiment would avail itself of the
state appropriation for its annual encamp-
ment The state appropriation for the an
nual encampment can only be used for the
encampment ordered by the governor.
Under the constitution of Georgia no money
can be used for the military except when
in actual service, and they are not consid-
cred to be in actual service except when
called into service by the governor in case
Of war or resurrection or for an encamp-
ment. The annual state encampment will
probably be ordered by the governor to take
place in June or July.
Col Gordon stated that if the Merchants
Week Association would contribute suffi-
Gent sum towards the expenses of transpor-
tation, rations, forage and prizes for tilt,
that be would order the Fifth regiment of
Georgia cavalry to Savannah for a six
days encampment, and that as the compa-
MES composing the regiment were from the
counties Of Burke, Scriven, Efingham,
Chatham, Liberty, Mcintosh, Glynn and
Wayne, he believed that their presence here
during Merchants week celebration would
induce the citizens of those counties to feel
an increased interest in the celebration.
He also referred to the organizations Of
confederate veterans in Bryan, Ware and
other counties, and stated that an invita-
ton to them to be present and participate III
the services Of Memorial day would un.
doubleday meet with an enthusiastic re-
sponse
There is sentiment among some of the
members of the executive board that the
infantry prize drill should be continued or
the programme as at first designed, and the
matter may come up for discussion at tn,
meeting tomorrow night.

HER FIRST EXPERIENCE.

How . Very Little Girl Acted When She
Went to Hear Her Papa Preach.
She looked very pretty in her new
white dress and broad brimmed black
silk hat; but best of all, she thought,
were her new shoes that papa had
brought home the night before. They
were SO shiny that she called them
''looking-glass shoes" at once, and
went to sleep with them in her arms.
Flossy's papa was the minister, and
she was going to church for the first
time.
You will be very good, dear, will
you not?" asked mamma for the last
time, as they walked up the church
steps.
Course l will. mammal" answered
Flossy, cheerfnlly.
But when mamma looked around,
after they had stood up to sing, Flossy
had her family of paper dolls spread
out in the book-rack, and she put up
her lip when mamma, with red face,
took them down.
ma, they are SO bad SO put them in
my pottet On purpose, she whispered.
But mamma shook her head.
After awhile Flossy got tired, and
wiggled around to make mamma look
at her.
Its too Tong, and I'd rather go home
now, please, and fish in the rain-water
BARREL" she whispered: but mamma did
not pay any attention, SO she put her
head down in mammals lap and went
sound asleep, and did not wake up till
papa was getting through. Then for
getting that she must not talk aloud,
she cried out:
"Oh, but I'm glad it's over. Thank
you, papa, for getting through at last. -
And every one in the seats near by
laughed.
Only mamma looked sorry.-L. E.

DRYING OFF COWS.
Something About the Origin or This I'm
p0rtant Matter.

Something About the Origin or This I'm
portant Matter.
There is great deal of cry and little
wool about drying off persistent milk
ers OF course all cows can not be
treated under the same rules. but that
does not mean that there are no rules.
When the practice is to dry off all the
cows in mid-winter and dairy only
during the summer. then the act of dry
ing off becomes matter of considera-
bic Importance, especially with the men
who do not want the trouble Of milking
the cows when the only returns for that
milk is an additional comfort to the
family. This, we believe. is the origin
of the drying of theory. In herds
MIXED the year round, such as
those supplying milk routes, no one
ever thinks of drying off cows
unless the condition of the milk
demands it. To be sure there are some
cows that get so run down by milking
all their flesh away that some steps
must be taken to build themu Their,
again, it may be true that the cow
which milks strong all the way through
does not produce as strong calf as the
one that goes dry. That is a matter of
some Importance to the breeder but not
to the dairymen. We would modify the
feed according to our requirements,
whether we were breeding or dairying,
but always milk the COW SO long as the
milk was good. There is much misin-
formation about drain Of the calf on the
cow. Quite to the contrary, the calf in
duces the mother to heshen up in both
humans and animals The fGtus grows
day by day little at time, like the
hump on camcls back, and in the end
weighs, say sixty pounds. This sixty
pounds has been growing nine months,
or about seven pounds a month or two
pounds a week or IA quarter of a pound
day, and yet we arc told it is a large
drain on the cow. Four ounces of calf
day is a drain while the COW can
stand up under a drain of forty. fifty or
sixty pounds Of milk day. You see
there is much nonsense about this, and
a good level head is useful.-New Dairy.
