ELECTRIC TANNING.
A Condensed Description Of the New
Method for Making Lcutiicr.

Method for Making Lcutiicr.
To crafty number of lnquirics tho Shoe
and Leather Review gives the following
brief and concise description OF electric
tanning and its cost. The process, as de.
scribed by those who have seen II, Is avery
simple one The hides era p,a.cad In largo
cylinders, which revolve Upon horizontal
axles. The drum is filed with dccoction
of tannin and closed. Provis.on is made
for the passing OF n current OF electricity
through the drum. The drum Is kept
slowly revolving, until the process of tan
ming Is completed. The length OF timo re.
quired varies with tho nature of the hide.
For the lighter skins, such IA sheep and
goat, which used 10 require from three 10
six months, by tho electric procoss arc
tanned in twcnty-four hours. Tho heavier
hides, such as calf, OK, cow or horse, re-
quiro from soventy-two to ninoty-six hours.
BY tho old-fashionod bark process twelve
months, or even more, would have boon
taken.
The cost OF production Is greatly re-
ducod by this method, for not only is tho
saving in timo, but In labor. The actual
cost OF working Is reduced over fifty per
cent by the bark process tho cost Of tau
ming Is from seven TO eight cents per
pound OF dry leather, as against that OF
three or four conts by the electric methods.
And again, whero force Of fifty men were
required 20 produce a given quantity Of
leather, only ten are needed 10 produce the
same by tho new methods. Heretofore
largo capital has been required TO run q
tannory having a regular weekly output
As hides often require TO lie in the tan watts
nearly year It win DO seen that great
number must be In process OF tannago IN
order that "a certain amount Of leather DO
turned out oaoh week. In addition 10 OK.

electric process completely revolutionizes
this. Hides purchased on Monday have

Best Time to Buy, According to This
Writer, Is In the Fall.
1t is easy to muddle the novice with
a variety of advice, and to get away
from the possibility of doing that 1
wish to offer the following hints as the
most valuable and concise that occur
TO me. Study your farm conditions and
learn exactly what sheep will thrive
best upon it. If you are not able to
purchase even small flock of pure
bred or high grade sheep, then put all
you can advantageously in pure bred
ram, and after that do the best you
can in buying ewes. Start right, even
upon a small scale. The sheep will
rapidly increase. In purchasing a ram
get one fully developed, strong in bone,
straight shaped and thoroughly typical
of his breed and sex. / have always
had an intuitive liking for the lamb
that will leave group of his fellows
in the field and boldly front you. Do
not purchase sheep that you have no
trust in for proper development. 1t is
only the experienced breeder who can
forecast development. Never take an
ill-doing sheep, even if it is cheap, with

right. In selecting sheep, h andle them
SO that you may know how much of
their form is due to themselves and
how much to the shears. Select as
critically as you can to a chosen type.
Uniformity is cheap feature for you
to buy and yet valuable one in a
flock. There is no sheep that EN- bodies
perfection in sheep qualities. Judging
between different sheep is a checking
of weakness and balancing of quail
ties Be inclined toward the sheep
that appears better every time it
catches your eye. The purchaser will
find it to his interests to select from
the field fitted for show. The best
time to buy is usually in the fall. Pro-
vision may be made with the seller to
have the ewes served by ram of diff,
ferent breeding from the one you buy,
and thereby you add another seasons
use to the ram of your hock.-J. A.

SWEET POTATOES.
Some Interesting Facts About Their Cul.
tivation and Use.

tivation and Use.
The sweet potato is most commonly
propagated by means of buds from
roots planted in hotbeds, and the
shoots as they develop are planted in
the field. Cuttings from these vinet
are often rooted and transplanted for
the main crop. The plant rarely ma.
lures seed in the United States. Ninety
early varieties will be ready to dig for
use. The best growth is made in
warm, sandy, well-drained, and ever
dry soil. The greatest care in harvest
ing is necessary to prevent bruising thu
roots in handling, for the skin is very
tender and wounded roots are sure tt
decay. They are best preserved by
being kept in a temperature of seventy
five degrees for fortnight after dig
ging, and then lowering the tempera
ture and keeping it during the winter
at from fifty to sixty degrees in dry
atmosphere.
Rather more than two-thirds of tn,
weight of the sweet-potato root il
water. Three pounds of the roots af
ford as much dry matter as one pound
of corn, but only about half as much
protein. On sandy soil, however, NOR,
dry matter to the acre can be secured
with crop of sweet potatoes thar
with crop Of corn. The young leavel
and tender sprouts of the plant are
sometimes prepared and eaten lik,
spinach, and the vines, although they
are usually left to decay in the field
can be profitably used as food for cat
tie. They are better fed green thar
cured into hay, and they cannot b..
successfully made into ensilage.-N. Y

ABOUT INSECTICIDES.
What to Use for Different Orchard ana
Garden Pests.


Garden Pests.
Paris green and kerosene emulsion
are still the best insecticides. The pari,
green is valuable for those insects
which chew, and has the great recon,
mendation that when fungi and in.
sects are both to be fought it may be
applied with the Bordeaux mixture
The kerosene emulsion is valuable fol
those insects whic h suck. The great
objection to it, the bother of preparing
an emulsion, has been done away
with by recent invention which
forms a mechanical mixture of the oil
and water.
In this connection it is we'll to re.
member the following points: 1t is
fungi that causes apples to drop when
small. Spraying will make them hold
on. The ounce grower can have fair
fruit and healthy trees if he will use
the sprayer. Pear trees will not lose
their leaves in August if sprayed in the
early summer. Cherry, plum and
grape rot; black knot in cherry and
plum; raspberry and blackberry rust;
strawberry leaf blight; apple scab;
cracking of the pear; ounce scab;
premature fall of the leaf of the apple,
pear, ounce, cherry and currant-all
these are lessened or prevented by
spraying. Cherries, plums and peaches
have tender foliage, and the mixture
must be diluted.
