except gold. If the silver IN dollar
will now purchase as much of exery-
thing except gold as ii would when
silver was demonetized, then it seems
clear that silver has not fallen in value
generally, but only in its relation to
gold. But if the raw gold in a dollar
will now purchase two-ffths more of
everything including silver than it
would in 1873, then it seems clear that
gold has risen in value since that time.
1t will now purchase forty per cent.
more of everything than 1t then would
then 1t has appreciated 40 per cent.
in value since that date. This is caus.
ed by scarcity of what is called stand
ard money. AS gold is now in this
country the only real money (every
other form OF money being now treat
ed as mere promises to pay gold) its
scarcity measures against the demand
for it has caused it to raise in value.
The present commercial or COM
modify ratio of raw silver
and gold in this country is
about q to /. That is one ounce CT
raw gold is worth 81 ounces of silver
Those who believe in the old ratio of

laws upon the subject since 1873 and
in the restoration of silver to the
place in our monetary system 1t then
held and had held from the founda-
ton of our government.

Tanning a Sheep Skin.

We are constantly receiving lnquir-
les as to how to tan skins. We al
ways advise our readers that they will
probably get much better satisfaction
if they send the skins to those who
make tanning business, yet have
frequently given them directions
whereby they can tan skin if they
are disposed to try after our dis
couraging them. Our attention has
just been called to directions given in
Rural New Yorker by practical tan.
ner. We publish them but add that
experience is necessary to do the best
work. A fresh skin is the easiest to
handle. Put the skin into a barrel of
fresh spring water if it is newly taken
of, say within twenty-four hours.
Soak for twenty.four hours, then lay
over the side of barrel, and with the

flesh side out. An old scythe which b
will ct oval around the skin is excel
lent for scraper. Stand at the end
of the barrel on which one end of the
skin hangs over, raise the end of the
barrel so as to come up to the lower
part of the abdomen, press the body
firmly against the skin so as to hold
it firmly, and scrape with the scythe
blade till all the tallow, flesh and
blood are scraped of; then turn the
other end of the skin in the same posi-.
ton and do likewise. II the skin
has become dry in places, as often
happens, scrape little oftener, per-
haps seven or eight times or strokes.
II the skin is perfectly fresh, it should
be scraped all over the second or
third day after it has been put into
the water, allowing about fifteen to
thirty minutes each day. If it has
become dry, little more scraping
would be better, and day or so more
soaking. If the skin is dirty on the
wool side, tramp it in the berrel or
pound with plank before takeing
out for the second days scraping; also
scrape on the wool side, dashing the
water on It occaslonlIy. Do not allow
iron to come in contact with the wool,
as it has tendency to color it. After
the skin is ready for the tannage, lay
the skin out fiat, flesh side up, and ap-
ply the following: Mix togather, and
pulverized alum, oen-half pound:
common salt, about one pound; salt
petre, one.half pound, and about twice
the quantity in bulk of bran as you
have of the above chemicals Mix
them together, and sprinkle nice,
even layer over the back bone; then
roll from the head TIL you roll it tight.
Put into a cool place for week; keep
damp.
After a week, open up and put on
the other half of the bran and chem
icals, after scraping off the first ar.
piled; leave about another week. 1t
would be advisable to dampen by
sprinkling little water, say, a pint,
before the second application.
After the second week, hand over
a scantling; hold the skin on one side
of the scantlng with the flesh side out
then start at the scantling and scrape
down towards the ground with g
mince-meat chopping knife, till the
skin is softened on the whole flesh
surface; then do the same with the
other end of the skin. Do this a day
or two later as the skin dries. Their
take a horse name comb and CONT
out the wool, and it will make a fine
robe or rug.

burdens under which real property is
laboring; a measure in the interest of

TORRENS SYSTEM.
A Simple. Speedy and Safe Meth.
cd for Reading the Condition
of Reality Titles.

The Torrens system is now a law
in Ohio.
What is the Torrens system?
The question is being asked by all
who are interested in real estate and
all who are seeking some safer and
less cumbersome method of holding
titles and speedier method OF arriv-
ing at the condition of their titles to
reality.
Owners, abstractors, attorneys have
been impressed with the expensive,
slow and unsatisfactory method of
transferring or mortgaglng real es-
tate in a general use in the United
States.
To Sir Richard Torrens belongs the
credit of suggesting what is now gen
nerally known as the Torrens system.
Through his efforts the system was
first introduced into Australia in 1858.
Its merits We're such that, by leglsla-
tive enactment, it became statute in
all the British colonies of the South
Pacific ocean and within the last ten
years of the provinces Of Ontario, Co.
lumbia, Manitoba and England.
Through the active exertious of
progressive attorneys the Illinois leg
islature embodied the system into a
law.
The governor of Ohio appointed
three attorneys, Edward H. Fitch,
Elan Fisher and NJ. W. Oliver com
mission ITO draft and prepare bill
embodying the principles of the Tor
rens' system of land transfer, with
such changes as may be deemed nec-
essary to adopt the same to the laws
of Ohio, and report the same to the
general assembly," The commission
submitted the report to Governor
Bushnell, embodying bill containing
l6S sections, in which explicit direc.
tions are given and all existing in
realty seem to be guarded.
The bringing of land under the
system is entirely voluntary excep,
in case of assignment or death. The
fees to be charged are limited. The
first registration requires the most
time and experiences in which every
detail of the title and all history rights
are to be set before either the court
of common pleas or probate or q
referee appointed by the court. How
ever, after certificate of title IS grant
ed, then the entire condition of the
title is shown on one page of the re-
corder's register.
After tae first registration, no ab-

been making experiments which show
that the new method is both cheap
and effective. A wheelbarrow or
wagon Is loaded with storage batteries
from which long wires trail along the
ground. The wagon is then taken
over the land to be cleared and
wherever the wires touch a weed it
is instantly killed clear to the roots.
The professor claims that electricity
is preferable to almost anything else
for destroying the dreaded Russian
and Canadian thistles. These hardy
pests resist most weed.kllling com.
pounds because the roots are not de-
stroyed and plants spring up again
with renewed vigor. The electric cur
rent, however, runs down to the low
est root and destroys it. A draw
back to the scheme is the initial cost
of the batteries and apparatus, but in
the long run it pays for itself.
