CANAIGRE ROOT.

Sir Henry Dering, British minister to
Mexico, has recently made an extended
report on the vegetable products of
that country. In it he deals with
canaigre root He states that it grows
extensively throughout Mexico and in
certain portions of this country, men
tioning this state as among the places
in which it grows. He says the root
contains from % to SO per cent of tan
mic acid, and that careful estimates
show that an acre of canaigre properly
cultivated will yield from 20 to 80 tons
of green roots. equal to seven to ten
tons of the dried material The prices
for the dried material have been from
$50 TO $50 (gold) per ton in Europe, and
from $25 to $50 per ton in this country.
One year old roots yield from 20 to %
per cent, while older roots yield from
% to 40 per cent of tannin. II is stated
that in extracting the tannin it is best
to cut up the roots and to use a diff
fusion method similar to that used in
extracting sugar from cane or beets.
It is necessary to use copper kettles. as
the canaigre influences, and is infiu-
enced by, iron.
Sir Henry says that canaigre gives
leather a soft, bright color. often a
clear bright orange. and that it comes
out full, smooth and with a good grain.
1t is especially suited to upper, saddle,
and fancy feathers.
The cultivation of canaigre root
should be a matter OF much interest in
this state. 1t is to be regretted that no
one seems to have enough interest in the
matter to make some extended expert
ments with it. Even the bounty offered
by the legislature does not appear to
have acted as a stimulus TO its cult
walton. Apparently here is a great re-
source in Utah, yet 10 one viii under
take it's development.
