ITEM OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.

Contributed by the Northwestern
Hide and Fur company, Minneapolis,
Mimi
Each year there are many thousands
of COWS, horses and sheep that die by
sickness or accident that have hides ON
that viii bring good prices if taken off
properly and promptly salted, and sent
to market. 1t is more important to salt
hides taken from dead animals than
those that are slaughtered for the stick
ing draws out most of the blood from the
hides as we'll as the meat of such. Not
so with the animal that dies without be-
ing bled, hence the necessity of prompt
and well sailing. To do this it requires
a bucket of salt to good sized hide,
smaller in proportion. See complete in
structions in last issue. Such hides If
well taken off and not cut with holes
will bring full value. As large COW,
bull or steer hide brings from S4.OO to
5000. horse hides half that much (small-
ones IN proporIlonl, sheep Pel's iioii
so cents to $l.OO and calf skins IS cents
to Sl.5O. You see how it pays to save
them. The wool from dead sheep, when
the hide is spoiled is worth saving also.
Some people think they cannot afford to
take one or more good farm papers and
vet one COW or horse hide will pay sever
al years subscription. Farmers carry
out our suggestions and you will thank
us for telling you of it. Take them of
right, send them to good firm. do
not be deceived by buyers who tell you
hides and skins from dead animals are
not worth half the price of those from
slaughtered animals.
