INFERIOR SALT WILL

Hides should be salted only with
clean, pure salt free from alum. ac-
cording to a recent statement of the
bureau of chemistry. This bureau is
making a study Of the best methods
for skinning farm animals and curing
hides In order to produce a high-grade
leather. Salt containing alum partly
tans the hide and sets the hair so that
1t cannot be removed. Hides which
cannot be unhaired properly bring
loss to the tanner and prejudice him
In future purchases against hides from
the same source.
Tanners recently submitted to the
bureau Of chemistry green salted hides
which could not be unhaired after lin
ing In the usual way. In order to find
out the cause. An examination showed
that on the basis of the dry hide un-
haired spots contained O.8 per cent Of
alumina and the portions where the
hair was not loosened contained 1.25 per
cent of alumina. The portions Of the
hide which contained O.S per cent
alumina unhaired with difficulty. while
the portions containing 1.20 per cent
could not be unhaired even on the
beam. An inferior salt containing alum
had been used in sailing the hides and
had set the hair.
This incident illustrates the impor-
tance Of attention to details In the
handling and curing of hides and
skins. Farmers, country butchers and
dealers are advised by the department
to use only clean, pure salt In sailing
hides. The presence of alum in salt
is especially Objectionable and as lit
tie as five per cent In the salt can be
detected usually by Its bitter taste.

gives detailed directions for skinning
curing and marketing country hides
and skins, may be obtained upon ap-
plication to the United States depart

mately 100000 separate farms were
listed in the 1910 census. Increasing
the number Of farms should tend to
decrease food prices agriculture ex-
perts said.
Predictions that the rural popula-
ton would show big migration to
the cities are not supported by CEN
sus returns so far tabulated. POpula-
ton returns have been announced for
about 900 cities and towns. A study
the 1910 returns for most of these cit
les show that their populations did not
Increase as fast during the decade
lust ended as in the decade from 1900
to 1910. The increase in 19O0-1O was
29.4 per cent. while the, increase dur
ing the 191O-20 decade was 24.S per
cent. These comparisons indicate
that the drift of population from farms
to city has not been as alarming as
was supposed.
Census returns also show that the
populations of big cities are not In
creasing in as great proportion as cit
les of the second class, comprising
communities of less than 100000. Many
second class cities have increased In
size more than 100 per cent. according
to the 1920 returns.
Completed census returns for 1920
will show at least 100 cities in the
100, 900 or better class. 1t Is estimated.

tanned so cities Of 100000 or more.

either to come to or go from Jack

In the old days Jackson and Jack

goodly portion of the bad men Of the

was committed between the Mississip-

pretty safe to guess that the man re-

These objects are in process of At

been pushed by our agents, larger
yields have been obtained, better pigs
have been raised and finer cattle, both
dairy and beef, have been grown. The
motto Of the clubs is ITO Make the
Best Better" Registered animals are
now common where only few years
ago they were unknown, and there Is
systematic effort to Gull out scrub
live stock and poultry. Large yields
of crops have been made by club mem
bers on lands which were considered
worthless, and little girls are vying

preserving fruits and vegetables, and
are becoming potent factor in help

The average yield per acre made by
club members in the growing Of field
crops Is two to three times as large
as the average yields made In the
states In which the members are To-
Gated. Many people, seeing boy or
