Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers I Careful Cleaning to Remove Flesh Advisable—How to — = | _ Suggestions tor Curing Hides: = | Remove Animal Heat and Apply Salt EFORE cattle or horse hides are salted, they should be cleaned thor- oughly. There is less waste on clean hides, and they make better leather. After the hide has been removed carefully from the animal, as much as possible of the dirt and blood should be cleaned off, while all pieces of flesh should be removed by scraping with the back of a butcher knife and by careful cutting. Do not wash the hide, however. All ragged edges of the hide should be trimmed away and the ears should be slit twice. _ The hide should then be allowed to lose its animal heat in a cool, dry, dark place, six hours usually being adequate, although overnight is per- missible during cool weather. For curing, select a cool, clean place, preferably a cellar or barn floor free from drafts and out of the direct sun- light. A floor with a slight slope and a drain is the best. Sprinkle on-the selected space a thin layer of clean, crystal salt (the grains about the size of peas) or ordinary salt of the kind used for salting meat. When the hide has cooled sufficiently, spread it, hair side down, over the salted floor, being sure to straighten out all folds and laps. Sprinkle fresh, clean salt all over the flesh side of the hide, using about one pound of salt for every pound of hide. See that all parts of the flesh side receive a sprinkling of the salt. Be sure to use plenty of salt and rub it in well along the cut edges, head, neck, legs, wrinkles, and the heavy portions. ; If several hides are to be cured, pil them one on top of the other, always ° hair side down, with the heads at one _ hours. end, and salt each one on the flesh side as directed. In piling the hides, do not drag them across the stack of salted ones, as this disturbs the salt on those underneath, causing unsalted spots and spoiled hides. The liquor from the pile of hides must be drained away to prevent damage to the bot- tom ones. In curing, the hides, if properly salt- ed, will become firm and stiff, when they are known as “salt firm” or “salt hard.” This requires from- four to ten days, after which the hides are ready for bundling and shipping. They should rarely be bundled immediately after a salting., In the case of calf skins the practice is similar to that used with cattle or horse hides, although it is advisable to use a finer salt and to rub it in with the hands around the neck, head, tail root, legs and shanks. Sheep skins re- quire more time gfor -cooling than the other skins and hence they should not be salted in summer until they have been thoroughly cooled for eight or ten About one-half a pound of clean, fine salt should be used to each pound of skin, sprinkling it on by hand and exercising care that every spot is thoroughly salted. Sheep skins and lamb skins should be marketed promptly, as otherwise they are liable to heat rapidly, which causes deterioration and decrease in value and often a total loss. Hence these pelts should be marketed within four or five days after they have been salted. 3 For the information of farmers inter- ested in the removal, preparation and marketing of - hides, the United States department of agriculture has just pub- lished Farmers’ Bulletin 1055, which will be sent free on request. ¢ Is Nitrate Unnecessary? A Big Issue (Continued from page 5) some plats, while the quantities of phosphoric acid and potash remain’ the same as above, the quantities of nitrogen furnished in the fertilizer are smaller; some plats had both nitrogen and potash omitted. Here is what the net returns show when these subtrac- tions are made from the balanced ra- .tion just given: 2 (NET VALUE OF CROPS AFTER DEDUCT- ING COST OF FERTILIZER APPLIED) Average for one acre per rotation For 85 In last yrs. 5 yrs. 144 pounds nitrogen, 96 pounds phosphoric acid and 200 pounds potash per acre per rotation.. Subtracting one-third of the nitrogen from the fertilizer applied as above ......ccie0000n Subtracting two-thirds of the nitrogen from the fertilizer applied Subtracting all of the ni- trogen from the fertili- zer applied ......... Subtracting all nitrogen - and potash from the fertilizer applied 83.41 81.25 “Here it is apparent that the more nitrogen you subtract from the formula, designed to furnish the plant a balanced ration, the greater the net profit in the use of fertilizer; and that the greatest net profit from using fertilizer re- sults from subtracting all nitro- gen from the fertilizer and letting the plants hustle for their own nitrogen. . $77.88 $76.08 86.42 83.51 92.56 92.48 93.88 94.74 “It is equally clear that when you subtract both the nitrogen and potash the loss in net returns becomes severe, amounting to $10.47 per acre every four years for the whole 35-year .period, and $13.49 per acre per rota- tion during the last five years. The Pennsylvania experiments, then, show ~us that it pays to subtract all the nitrogen from the fertilizer applied. 5 N T R e T O O A RATI T r eAT OR tm J st PAGE TWENTY-TWO That . it is ruinous to subtract all the potash. Whether it is safe to subtract any of the potash does not appear from any. tests in the Pennsylvania experi- ments. “The Ohio‘ experiments com- pletely sustain the Pennsylvania results in showing that it pays to subtract all the nitrogen from the commercial fertilizer ration and compel the plants to depend for their nitrogen on that obtained directly and indirectly from the air. They also show that the highest point of production is reached and maintained and the greatest net gain obtained when the proportions of phosphoric acid and - potash come nearest to the Pennsylvania standard of one pound phosphoric acid to 2.08 pounds of potash, and when the application of phosphoric acid and potash is nearest to the- total quantity needed by the crops in the rotation. “The results of the Ohio tests show that it is unprofitable to disturb the proportions of phosphoric acid and potash” used as the basis of the Pennsylvania experiments; and that it is equally unprofitable to subtract any quantity of the mixture of phos- phoric acid and potash from the plant ration. In other words, the Ohio re- sults show that the plants should be fed in the ratio used in Pennsylvania for phosphoric acid and potash, and that where the quantity of that kind of fertilizer is nearest in ‘quantity to the total the plants need of these ele- ments the greatest net returns are ob- tained.” Mr. Ross promises further proof of his theories and further facts against the soil-balancing theory “in articles to follow. e, . Eoad ST VAV I IO XYL LTAN ARy T e BEATS GASOLINE AT | 15 CENTS A GALLON. New Invention Makes Fords Run 34 Miles on Gallon of Gasoline and Start Easy in Coldest Weather. Other Cars Show Proportionate Savings. A new carburetor which cuts down’ gasoline consumption of any motor, including the Ford, and reduces gasoline bills from one-third to one-half is the proud achievement of the Air Friction Carburetor Co., 265 Madison~St., Day- ton, Ohio. This remarkable invention not only increases the power of all motors from 80 to 60 per cent but enables everyone to run slow on high gear. "It also makes it easy to start a Ford or any other car in the coldest weather without previously warming the motor. With it you can use the very cheapest grade of gas- oline or half gasoline and half kerosene and still get more power and more mileage than- you now get from the highest test gasoline. Many Ford’ owners say they mow get as high as 46 to 650 miles to_a gallon of gasoline. So sure are the manufacturers of the immense saving their new carburetor will make that they offer to send it on 30 days trial to every caf owner. As it can be put on or taken off in a few minutes by anyone, all readers of the Leader who want to try it should send their name, address and make of car to the manu- facturers at once. They also want local agents to whom they offer exceptionally large profits. Write them today.—Adv. SHIP US YOUR POULTRY and CREAM ‘We need fat Chickens, Turkeys, Ducks, .
