Establishing Banking Connections,
The board Of directors appoints
bank committee to select some local
banking institution through which the
union does its business. The credit
union is accorded treatment similar to
that which one bank gives another. As
rule 1t receives per cent interest
upon time deposits and 8 per cent on
monthly balances, while It borrows
from the bank at per cent interest.

also accepts deposits from nOnmem-
bers. It's operations are similar to a
small-scalo bank, but 1t is able to oper-
ate at a minimum Of expense since
most Of the overhead expenses of
regular bank are eliminated. The OFF,
GERS, with the exception of the treas
urer, receive no compensation The
treasurer, who Is required to devote
three. or four hours a week to the bus
mess Of the organization, usually re-
ceives salary of about $50 a year.
The credit union thus becomes primar-
lily mutual society Of borrowers and
depositors operating under state law.

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 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 II 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 suf-
ficiently long 10 allow the animal heat
to get out of them. IL 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
pound
Preparing Hides for Market.
The preparation of hides and skins
for market Is of great Importance, for
If 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
similar manner. Then 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 pack Of hides the
outer edges should be kept little
higher than the middle, so that the
liquid or brine, formed by the dissclv-
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 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
large 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.

should be placed In cool $50 to IS de-
