LEATHER BETTING.
How the Hides are Prepared for
Leading Manufacturer.

How the Hides are Prepared for .
Leading Manufacturer.
The hides used in the manufacture
Of betting all come from the West,
the thickest and heaviest being Sc
lected for that purpose. One Of the
big New York houses that makes use
of them sends the skins first to a tan,
merry of its own in Bristol, Tenn, near
which grows the rock oak. whose bark
is particularly suited to this work.
According to the Paper Mill the bark
Is peeled off In the early spring, just
when the sap begins to flow, and
enough to last a year is stored in
sheds.
The hides are first soaked in clean
water until all dirt is thoroughly
washed out Of them. They are then
placed in a vat Of weak lime water,
which is gradually strengthened until
the sixth day, when the hair has be.
come sufficiently loosened to permit
1t to be easily scraped off. The bare
hides are then laid in an alkaline So
lution-called the "bate"-to remove
the lime remaining. This lining and
batting" is done in a so-called lime
house, and is an important step in the
process of making good belt leather.
Cleansed from hair. flesh and lime,
the hides go to the handlers" where
they receive their first dip in weak
tanning liquor. This liquor is made
from ground bark placed in leach"
tubs. These tubs are IL feet in d.
ameter by s feet deep, and hold about
eight tons Of ground bark. Water is
poured on the bark through brass
sprinkler pipes. The water percolates
through the mass, catching and TAX
Ing with it the tannic acid. Passing
through the perforated false bottom,
the liquid Is collected and pumped
into storage tanks. From these tanks
Is drawn the supply for the handler"
watts. The hides are placed in these
watts across the sticks side by side,
packed as closely as possible, and
are left for about twelve days. Dur.
ing this operation the pores open and
the hides increase both in thickness
and frmness.
When the hides are taken from the
handler watts the bellies and heads are
trimmed off and tanned separately
for shoe leather. The butts" for belt
ing are then slowed in watts called
sfayaways." Here they are laid fiat,
on top of the other, with a loose
layer of bark between. They are then
covered with strong tanning liquor.
Hides intended for betting are given
five successive treatments in this way,
lasting from ten to forty days. In
this way the best oak tanned leather
takes 1870 days to tan. Finally the
butts are washed, oiled on the grain
side and hung up to dry in a darken-
ed loft at an even temperature.
This finishes the tanning operation.
The leather is shaved on the flesh
side and secured. It is then stuffed
with cod oil and beef tallow, SO as
to preserve it and fit it for use as belt
ing. When stuffed the leather is
stretched, dried, brushed of, packed
in bundles and shipped to New York.
The capacity of the Dixie tannery at
Bristol is n hundred thousand hides
a year.
