Farmers who devote the little extra
time necessary In skinning animals
carefully-possibly only three to five
minutes In taking off the skin Of a calf,
or 10 minutes In the case Of beef hide
can increase the value of the hide
several times, say specialists of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. This is Of utmost Importance In
view Of the present urgent demand for
leather, and the increase In price which
unsecured hides bring on the market.
1t Is essential and even necessary to
exercise the utmost care In removing
skins from farm animals.
Country hides and skins make up
more than one-third of all the hides
and skins produced In the country, but
too often the value of country hides
for leather making Is less than that
of packer hides. The tanner pays more
for packer hides than for those OBJ
tanned from farmers or country slaugh-
terers. This Is due In part to better
facilities In the large packing houses
for curing and storing the hides, but
principally to the fact that such hides
have been taken off properly. The tan

When such hides come from tanner,
scores show very plainly and In many
cases One-half of the thickness of the

How to Skin Animals.
When animals are skinned on the
farm, the operation should be per-
formed on a clean, hard spot under
tree, If possible, or. If done indoors,
In room with concrete floor. The
limb Of tree may be used for sus-
pending the carcass, but when the
hides are removed indoors block and
tackle must be provided.
The animals should be cleaned off,
curried and brushed thoroughly, in or
der to remove all dirt. The skinning
knife should be sharp. though it should
not be used any more than is absolute
fy necessary. The use Of the knife
may be avoided in taking off calf skins,
except on the head, neck, legs and
TANKS, as the body skin may be drawn
or listed off. Where it is necessary to
use the knife, the skin should be drawn
taut with one hand, while the knife is
used with the other, special care be-
ing taken to hold the back of the blade
close to the skin. If this is done there
is less danger of cutting or scoring the
skins. In lieu Of the knife, some butch
ers use sharpened wooden stick
shaped like a mans thumb, and employ
knife only on the portions Of the
body mentioned.

LOANS NOT TO
BE RECALLED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Deny7
ing persistent rumors to the effect
that the federal reserve banks have
contemplated the recall of loans made
on cotton or the future issuance Of
loans, w. r. G. Harding, governor of
the federal reserve board, in a letter
today to Senator Smith of South
Carolina stated the only change made
in the position of the banks regard
rag cotton loans was tendency to
stricter examination into the grade
of cotton shown by the receipts pledg-
ed as collateral

value of even 25 cents pound" Mr..
Harding said, ''unless the receipts do
Indicate the grade or other satisfac-
tory evidence is furnished as to. what
the grade is. There are so many diff
ferent grades of cotton and the spread
between the value of the lowest and
the highest grade is SO great that
it seems to me some knowledge of
the grade is necessary in lending in
diligently on cotton as collateral"
Mr.. Harding declared there was
nothing to warrant the inference that
25 cents pound was to be regarded
rs a maximum salable value for loan
purposes, adding.
"We llow that some long staple
cotton recently gold in New Orleans
at rs cents a pound, and we know also
that is not unusual for the huctua-
tions in cotton to amount to as much
as 200 points in a single day. In
these circumstances it seems to me
that it is necessary to require a
larger margin in making loans on
cotton selling at much lower price
and was free from the extraordinary
fluctuations to which it is now sub
ject."

Iynching here yesterday of negro,

Industrial Workers of The Word,

assault and robbery
IN the excitement incident to the
lynching the other Unree escaped.
Two were recaptured, and the police
today expressed he belief that the
third was drowned in lake in the
park where the lynching took place.
The lake is being dragged in an
attempt to find the body.
Police refused to reveal whore the
two arc incarcarated and searching
parties stared to adjacent counties
to locate the negroes with view to
hanging them.
The lynching occurred early yester
day after a mob of about 100 masked
men spirited the quartette from the
Macon county Jail after overpowering
Sheriff Stamper.
The negroes were brought here
clad only in night clothing. The mob
attempted to hang the negro to a tree
but the limb broke and he was shot
to death as he attempted to escape.
The negroes were arrested Thurs
day on charges of having assaulted
ard robbed Edward Thompson, a
farmer. They were lodged in Jail
here but later were taken to Macon
county, where it was feared they
would be victims of mob violence.
