MAKING LEATHER
ON SMALL SCALE
There Are Times When Farmer
Finds It Profitable to Do
His Own Tanning.
DETAILED DIRECTIONS GIVEN
Suggestions as to Ucual Practices,
Rates and Methods of Payment Are
Made In Circular of Department
of Agriculture.
(Prepared by the United Statea Department
of Agriculture.)
Tanneries are equipped to make all
the leather the country needs nnd can
make better leather more economically
than the farmer can, but thero nre
times when tho producer of hides finds
that the margin between the price paid
for the raw material and the price
asked for finished leather Is so great

that he determines to do his own tan
ning. For example In certain large
sections of the country a farmer can
hardly give away the hides he has,
yet leather in small pieces costs him
from $1 to $1.50 a pound. To help
him ' In such emergencies the United
States Department of Agriculture has
Just Issued Department Circular 230,
Home Tanning, which gives detailed
directions for making leather for vari
ous purposes.(
Best Way of Handling.
With the Issuunce of this publica
tion the department now has for dis
tribution, information on the handling
of hides from the skinning of the
unlmal to the care of the leather In
the tlnlshed article such us hurucss,
belts, boots, and shoes. Farmers'
Bulletin 1055, Country Hides and
Skins: Skinning, Curing and Market
ing, recently revised and reprinted for
tho third time, tells hpw to perform
these operations In the most efllclent
manner. In Farmers' Bulletin 1183,
The Care of Leather, also recently
revised und reprinted, are directions
for making leather last longer. Any,
or all, of these bulletins, Including
the new circular, may be obtained
free by writing to the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
Suggestions as to Rates.
In the circular just Issued the farmer
who wishes to do tunning on a small
scale may find explicit directions for
making bark-tanned sole and harness
leather, chrome-tanned leather, and
alum-tanned lace leather. But In case
he wishes to have the tanning done
for him he will And suggestions as to
tho usual practices, rates, and meth
ods of payment. It Is the custom
nmong some tanners who do work for
farmers having only a few hides to
tan a hide for half the leather. That
ts, the farmer sends In a hide and gets
back one-half of It marto Into leather,
usually paying tho shipping charges
both wuys. ,
A list of tanneries that will tan one
or more hides for farmers may be
obtained from tho bureau of chemistry,
United States Department of Agri
culture, Washington, D. C.
When high prlceo are charged for
leather In small quantities It is usually
posslblo to buy at a comparatively
low price' by taking more nt a time. If
ct side of lenther Is bought, Instead
of a couple of pounds nt a time says
the circular, U is often possible to
buy It nt only 10 to 20 per cent above
wholesale prices.
NEW TYPE OF MILK BOTTLES
Department of Agriculture Has Not
Approved or Disapproved Any
8peclfic Container.
A number of Inquiries recently re
ceived by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture turn to bo based
upon newspaper reports that tho gov
ernment had approved a new kind of
milk container made of paper. So
far as the department Is concerned,
no statement of either approval or
disapproval has been made regarding
any specific type of milk container,
from either the sanitary or the eco

STATES GETTING WAR
MATERIAL FOR ROADS
All Sorts of Supplies and Equip
ment Delivered.
Texas and New York Lead With Near,
ly $8,000,000 Worth and Other
States Go Over Million Dollar
Mark Lots Left.
(I'roared by the United Stataa Department
of Agriculture.)
Surplus war material valued at
$13D,77;t,USU was delivered to the states
for use In road construction up to
July 1, roports the bureau of public
roads, United ' States Department of
Agriculture. The material, which con
sisted of all sorts of supplies and
equipment .suitable for roud building
for which the War department had
no further need, wus distributed on
the same basis as monetary federal
aid.
In value of material delivered, Texas
and New York lead with nearly $S
000,000 woVth of material, and every
statu with the exception of live of
the smaller ones received supplies
valued at over $1,000,000.
This material has been of great
value In road construction, and there
Is hardly a county In the United States
in which some of it has not been
used.
Probably of greatest value has been
the 20,325 motor vehicles distributed,
consisting of 24,752 trucks and 4,573
automobiles, and In addition a large
number of tractors.
The system of distribution has been
so arranged tltut the states requisition
only material useful to theiu. In
SOU12 cases they fall behind In allot
ments In order to wait for material
particularly desired. Muny of tho
states have shown great ingenuity lu
conditioning worn equipment, using
war material to equip shops In which
other war material is mude suitable
for use.
There Is still a large quantity of mn
terlal In this country for distribution.
This will be further Increased by tun
terlal used by the army of occupation
In Germany soon to be brought back.

"Of course there ure only the two

said, "p e o p I o
wouldn't think all

und then they

"That's the rlghr idea," said tho
other Itlng-Necked Snakes.
"Well," said tho first lUng-ftecked
Snake, "we are so named' because
we have yellowish rings about our
necks.
"Some creatures wear rings On
their lingers. We wear them about
our necks which Is more beautiful,
think I
"Our bodies are small and narrow
nnd graceful. Wo are wearers of
pretty bluish, grayish mills i ml we
wear handsome gay orange stomach
ers or perhaps I should say our
stomnchs are of orange color..
"We like the nighttime for a nice
frolic. We're shy little creatures and
we've no more desire to see people
than perhaps' they have to see us."
"I should think," said another Illng
Necked Snake, "they would like to
ee us for we're really very pretty."
"I should think so too," said tho
ilrst Ring-Necked Snake, "but we
won't mind It If they don't think thnf
way about us."
"Some of our relatives wear wider
rings than others," snld the second
Mug-Necked Snake.
"Well, that Is the way people do,
too," said the first IUng-Necked Snake.
"Some wear larger jewels than others.
We always v find such comfortable
homes back of stones or old logs, and
some of our relatives like to havo
homes a Ittle way under the ground.
We enjoy the best of food, such us
Insects and earthworms and other
such snake delicacies. And our llttlo
ones ure so anxious to see the world
that they hatch out almost before we
lay the eggs!"
"Oh," snld the other Itlng-Necked
Snakes, "we must have a good play
time now, nnd this evening Is the tlmo
for It."
"Yes," said the first IUng-Necked
Snake, "for the autumn Is hurrying
along and the wnrm weather will soon
be gone."
"Then," sajd the second King
Necked Snake, "wo must go to sleep
for the winter,"
''You don't hnve to go to sleep for
the winter If you don't want to," said
the first IUng-Necked Snake.
"Hiss, hiss, s-q-u-I-r-m, wiggle," snld
the second Itlng-Necked Snake. "That
Is a good Joke. Of course I want to
go to sleep for the winter, and you
know I want to go to sleep for the
winter."
"But you spoke as though you were
forced to go to sleep for the winter."
"Oh, no," said the second Ring.
Necked Spake, "I merely meant that
we should frolic and play while the
weather Is warm and whllo still we
feel like playing, for soon we will feel
too sleepy to play.
"I love tho winter for sleeping. I
would not stay awake for anything.
It would be too
hard to keep
warm nnd to get
food. In the zoo
the snakes stuy
Rwako because
they're kept warm
nnd are fed, but
not for me."
"Not for any of
us." said the rest
of the R I n g
Necked Snakes.
"Not for any of
us," they all said
together, hissing
nnd wriggling nnd
looking very

thought that they "Such Comfort
could go to sleep able Homes
whenever they wanted to do so,"
"So now we must frolic," said the
first Ring-Necked Snake,
"Now we must frolic," said the sec
oud Ring-Necked Snake.
"Now we must frolic," suld all the
other Ring-Necked Snnkes.
"And now we will do so." the first
IUng-Necked Snnke added,
And tho others all played on that
late summer evening and had a happy
snake playtime.

DAIRY
POINTS
IMPORTANCE OF ICING MILK
Product Delivered at Night Often In
Greater Need of Ice Than
During Day Time.
(Prepared fcy the United StatM Department
of Agriculture.)
Somo milk distributors who would
not think of sending out loads of milk
during tho day without Icing do not
Ice the milk delivered by their wagons
to the consumer's doorstep at nlgnt,
giving as their reason that night de
livery Is more rapid. The United
States Department of Agriculture, In
a recent statement, cnlls attention to
the fact that milk delivered to the
consumer's home nt night often Is In
greater need of Icing than that which
Is delivered during the day.
The Important consideration, saya
the department, is the time elapsing
between taking tho milk from the
plnnt until It Is placed In the con
Rumor's refrigerator. Tho fnct that
the dealer delivers It quickly does not
mean that It will reach tho refriger
ator quickly. Ilottles delivered nt the
door usually are not taken In until
after the sun hns been up for some
time.
During the summer months it is
vory Important that milk on delivery
wagons be well Iced. When milk Is
liable not to be tnken in at once, it
should arrive nt tho doorstep nt a
temperature of 60 degrees P. or lower.
If the ordinary open-bottom cases are
used and stacked not more than two
high, It 1b necessary to Ice only the
top row, as the cold air will pass down
to tho other. Ordinances, says tho
department, may well prohibit the de
livery of milk nt a temperature higher
thun 50 degrees F.
Consumers may help by placing a
properly Insulated container on tho
doorstep, In which the mllkmnn mny
put the bottles of milk.
