FATTENINC HOG
Porcine Appetite Is Whetted
With Tactic Acid Used
Formerly In Leather
Manufacturing Process.

Pigs are supposed always to be
hungry. To whet the porcine ap-
petite would seem like painting the
lily or gliding refined gold. Some
times the necessity arises. however,
to administer a stimulant to keen
even a well-fed hog on the way 10
produce his full quota of ham and
bacon.
A bulletin of the American Chem
ical society, prepared by Mr.. H. E.
Howe of Boston, calls attention to
the increasing use of Tactic acid as
a means of keeping the American
pig intent on its mission. Tactic
acid, as its name indicates, was orig
inally derived from milk.
One man who was accustomed to
give buttermilk to his pigs in normal
times found that when it became
scarce he did not have as much
success in fattening the animals as
he had under ordinary conditions.
Whereupon, he inquired what was
the characteristic OF buttermilk that
gave its sour taste. This, he as
certained, was due to Tactic acid gen.
Grated by the action of certain bac
terra upon the lactose or sugar COR
tanned in milk He, therefore,
b:neht a stock of Tactic acid and
began feeding it to- selected group
o: his pigs. He noticed that the ap-
petite of the pigs which had it wirh
their food was considerably better
than that enjoyed by the porkers
who did not have it. Those who
were receiving a pound of the acid
week in addition to their usual ra
ten showed gain of pound more
than the pigs which had gone in the
same period. The difference n
price between a pound of acid and
pound of pig made his procedure
appear such a good investment ut
the prevailing rates for pork prod
ucts that he extended his expert
ments to every sly.
To the industrial chemist the man
ufacturc of Tactic acid is a simple
process, as it is readily derived by
using starch or corn sugar as base.
Carefully prepared cultures isolated
from pure soured milk and then sep
arated from other organisms are
added to solution of starch sugar.
Sometimes a little gluten meal is
employed to aid fermentation. As
soon as action gets we'll under wav
in the fermcnting watts, ordinary
whiting. such as is used in making
putty. is put into the mixture. As
whiting is a carbonate of lime and
is readily acted upon by sour fluids.
a lactate of lime is formed as fast
as the busy bacteria release Tactic
acid. A considerable quantity of
Tactic acid has combined with cal
.cium lactate at the end of II days.
Sulturic acid is then employed to
set it free. and the sulfate of lime
which has been formed is eliminated
by filter press. The Tactic acid
is then concentrated and purified
Although it would seem from its
i title to have been made from milk

formally discussing the prices to b
charged by all to the big consolida
tions with millions OF capital.
Some of them simply say the
price to be charged, some have reg.
ulations with regard to tenders OF
offers for contracts, some eliminate
outside competition by imposing re-
strictive conditions on purchasers
and many regulate output by allot.
ting to each member = fixed percent
age of the total production, with
fines for exceeding this and COM

pensation drawn from it. This
brings about the curious result that
member may withdraw from active
ufacture-close up shop-allow-
ing his share of output to be abb
sorbed by other firms and still draw
substantial sum from the pool
Sounds like a chapter from the
good aid trust busting days of the
Roosevelt regime.
The investigating committee
found that members of the associa-
ton adopted a pious mien and as
serted their actions made business
plants more efficient, were essential
for meeting foreign competition and
that the price-regulation was an en-
deavor to supply a uniformly good
article, thus protecting the consum-
er! And the associations further
stated consumers need not fear be-
ing bilked by extortionate charges.
Wholesalers had different testi
nony and they didn't share the man
ufacturers' optimistic views.
As a result the committee sug-
gested it would be we'll if the board
of trade or whatever governmental
organization has surveillance over
industry to report annually on three
trade associations and to make pre-
liminary inquiries as to any COM
plants lodged against the combines.
1t further suggested that wher
it is proved that acts injurious to
the public interest have been COM
mitted, the facts revelant to the
public offense shall be published
and the board of trade shall recon-
mend proper state action for rene
dying grievances. In other words
the situation would be handled very
gently.
The committee considered that a
system which controls prices is al
ways in danger of abuse, being con-
Grmed in that belief by the opera
tons of the American meat trust
during the war, especially during
1917 when its profits were quad
rupled.
Several large combinations Of
trade interests are cited, a $l50,00c,-
900 electrical association being typi-
cal.
While no real remedy has been
suggested in the report for dealing
with these trade combines there is
general feeling that real service
has been performed in exposing the
danger to which the public is ex
posed. How to deal with the trusts
is regarded as one of the important
problems facing the administration,
for while there is every desire to
build up British trade and meet for
eign competition,

well within the range of those who,
disregarding the statement. Pigs
is pigs" are willing to give them an
occasional appetizer.
Tactic acid is also extensively en-
rloyed in tanning leather. 1t has
no equal as a reagent for removing
calcium in a soluble form from the
hides which have been lined for the
removal of hair. 1t serves to
thicken or plump" leather, without
causing brittleness and thus puts the
skin in condition to undergo a bet
ter tanning by opening its cells to
the reception of fannie acid.
1t is likewise a valuable aid to the
wooden industry, for it oxidizes
11ordants used in dyeing. Because
Of its mildness, it is recommended
for taking out certain classes of in};
stains from colored fabrics.
The varied uses to which it can
be turned we'll illustrate the serv-
ice which modern chemistry is rem
dering to all forms of American in
dustry.

The average Englishman for

two doctors for four years but they
failed to cure It.

commenced treatment on the 5th of

week and then applying a simple oint-
ment.
In about a week the cancer fell out
