INFERIOR SALT WILL
RUIN COUNTRY HIDES
Hair Is So Set That It Cannot Be
Removed Properly.
Incident illustrates importance Of A.

elally Objectionable.

Prepared by the United States penart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
Hides should be salted onlv 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 high-grade
leather. Salt containing alum partly
tans the hide and sets the hair so that
II cannot be removed. Hides which
cannot be unhaired properly bring q
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 sailed 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 I'M
haired spots contained 0.S 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 0S per cent
alumina unhalred 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-
lance 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.
Farmers bulletin No. 1855, which
gives detailed directions for skinning,
curing and marketing country hides
and skins, may be obtained upon ap-
pllcation to the United States depart

Of her freedom Of the house to appro-
pirate the fan when the ladies were
out and the servants OF the second
floor. She was to be paid for her as
sistance: two hundred dollars had
been promised; even more had been
suggested. Elsie and the stranger had
left the garage and passed out Of ear
shot before Elsie fully consented; but
Pierre had given Antoine the impress
sion that she would make the attempt.
"It was to be for the kaiser. for Ger
