hide is to skin the animals head,
cheeks and face. This should be done
while the animal is still suspended.
Always keep the hide free from meat,
as one of the common faults of country
hides Is the presence of more or less
meat, usually cheek meat. The next
step in the operation is to lower the
animal on its back and remove the
skin from the legs. Following this, the
hide should be ripped down the belly
from the sticking cut to the tail, max
ing a neat, straight rip, free from
jagged edges. The sides are then
skinned, working forward to the brisk
ct and then back to the inside Of the
hind leg. Lift away the hide with the
free hand and stretch 1t tightly by
pulling outward and upward against
the knife or wooden stick.
Injury Done BY Blood.
Blood is objectionable on hides, par
~ticularly in the summer, as 1t is like
ly to cause the hair to slip from rot
ting or decomposition when the hides
are packed. This may result in hav-
ing otherwise good hides placed in the
No. 2 grade on the market. Care
should be taken to avoid placing any
hides in the pack until they are free
from animal heat. Allow them to lie
folded from three to five hours or sur
ficlently long to allow the animal heat
to get out of them. II this is not done.
patches of decomposition may result,
and such hides, though carefully re-
moved, may be reduced in market
value at least one cent or more a
pound.
Preparing Hides for Market.
The preparation Of hides and skins
for market Is Of great Importance, for
IL they are not properly prepared and
shipped they are subject to great de-
terioration. As a rule, hides are fold
ed with the hair side out. 1t is es-
sential to fold In the head and neck
On the body of the hide, flesh surface
together, and to turn in the tail In a
similar name Then a narrow fold
should be made on each side by throw
ing back the body edges and legs. keep
ing the lines of the folds parallel.
Stacking Up Hides
In building up a pack OF hides the
outer edges should be kept a little
higher han the middle, so that the
liquid or brine, formed by the dlssolv-
ing Of the salt In the natural moisture
of the hides, may be absorbed by them.
If the pack is low outside, or is built
slanting like a shed roof. the brine
will seep out. causing the hides to
shrink in weight. In preparing hides
for market use salt that Is free from
Jumps or dirt. Dirty salt will
stain the flesh side of the hides. One
pound of salt to each pound Of the hide
Is the rule.
If the hides are to be stored, they
should be placed In cool eco to s. de-
grees F~ahrenheit) cellars, from which
the outside air is excluded.

Sleep Is the most perfect rest, u

diseases. That is. the person who

for he is going TO secure the rest that

is. the doctors ought 10 begin refus-

The General Farmer.
In later discussion, the chancel-
lor explained that in referring to
quantity production as an agricul-
tural desideratum, he had in mind
the general farmer, the producer of
such crops as wheat, corn, oats, and
also live stock. He stated that the
record attained by the American
farmer during the period of the war
was excelled only by the American
boys who went to the front, and he
predicted that those same boys,
when they shall have returned will
be a great factor in the readjustment
problems of the country.
In his reference to education as
an agricultural asset, he stated that
Russia went to pieces first because
of its ignorance.

Federal Land bank of this city, said

clared that the legislature would do
no injustice in dealing with the sit
uation when ii insisted on private
schools operating under the same
standard as that fixed for public
schools.
Great Opportunity Here.
Another thing we have come to
appreciate as a result of the war, he
said, was the opportunity of Ameri-
ca. The only other country in the
world which could compare with
this in natural resources was Russia,
which he held up as an example OF
inactivity.

"The schools offer us the avenue to

language and in the principles oil
government for which our country
stands" he said.
Its our own fault that we ever
had a foreign question to meet at
the outbreak Of the war. On the
principle that our government stood
for liberty, we gave too much lib
erty to foreigners within our state
to perpetuate their own tongue,
