ITS BISTORT ABO DBVRLOPBKKT. Bulletin seven of the Arizona agri cnltnral station is devoted to the his tory, chemical analysis, botanical charscteristica and cultivation of the canaigre plant The report was made by Prof. G B. Colllngwood, chemist; Prof. J. W. Tourney, botanist; and Pro! F. A. Gulley, director of the station. Relative to their investiga tions they say: Soon after the organization of the Arizona experiment station the atten tion of the station staff was called to the canaigre as a plant worthy of in vestigation. Feeling assured that, if the plant was of commercial value, the available wild growth would soon be exhausted, and at most would hard ly warrant its adoption by the trade unless a large and constant supply could be depended on, it was concluded that the Investigation should include cultivation as well as determination of the properties of the plant in other waya For the purpose of calling at tention to the plant and securing all possible data to its geographical dis tribution and habits, a bulletin was issued in April, 1803, stating the object of the investigation. Chemical exami nation was begun in March, 1891. and the first roots were planted in July, 1891, since which time the work has been in progress. Members of the station staff have studied the growth and gathered roots from a large area of the country, embracing the Salt, Santa Cruz, Rillito River valleys, and many specimens have been secured from other places and from New Mexico and Texas for examination, and the wild growth and plantations set last fall near Doming, and in the Pecos valley, New Mexico, examined by a member of the staff quite re cently. Soon after commencing the investigation we were led to believe that if the plant would respond to ' V [The above figure represents a plant from which a few of the leaves at the base have been stripped away. It shows the roots a little large as compared with the rest of the plant, but otherwise normal.

BISTORT. Canaigre lias been used for many years by the Mexicans both as a medi cine and as a tanning material, but only in recent years has it attracted attention as an article of commerce. Tn 1868 a sample of the roots was sent from Texas to the agricultural depart ment at Washington, but it was mis laid and the analysis was not made until 1878. In 1889 Prof, Henry Trim ble published an article on canaigre, in which he gives its history to that time, and records some analysis made by himself and othfers. He states that Mr. Budolph Vselcker of Oalveston, Texas, published an analysis of roots gathered in 1874, giving 33.10 per cent of tannic acid. Boots were exhibited at the New Orleans exposition la belled, “A New Tanning Material.” Since then considerable attention has been gived to this plant and a number of articles have been written, both in this country and abroad, in all of which it is agreed that canaigre is a valuable tanning material. So far as we can learn, the first effort made to establish the commercial value of can aigre as a tanning product was in 4he year 1883, when Col. J. C. Tiffany, then government agent for the Apache Indians, at San Carlos, Ari., shipped considerable quantities of the root from Doming, N. M., and El Paso, Texas, to New York city and also to Germany, Austria and Great Britain. The root was first shipped green, which caused it to fermen t, and its use abroad m a fermented condition destroyed the leather to which it was applied, which temporarily brought it into disfavor; but subsequently, in the year 1884, the root was shipped by one of Col. Tiffany’s sons, in a sliced and dried state, when it arrived abroad in good condition, was successfully used in all experiments made, and immedi ately met with great favor. Nothing resulted from the efforts of Co 1. Tif fany and his associates, for the reason that it was feared the root in its wild state could not be secured in quanti ties at a price which would enable it , to be brought into general use, and its cultivation at that time was not thought of. Not long after this Thomas Fitch, Esq., organised a wealthy company la Sea Franolaeo, Cal, (or the same purpose, but the en terprise waa abandoned by Its pro jector becanae aufflclent canaigre oould not be found to meet the de mand which the company was organ ised to supply, the idea of cultivating the plant not having occurred. IVBOFXiR EirtUllIRTt The Canalgre Supply company, ot Tucson, ArL, first as a partnership and subsequently as an incorporation, haa devoted several years to and ex pended considerable capital in intro ducing canaigre to the trade. A num ber of small shipments were made to chemists and tanners in this country and Europe for ^experimental pur poses Large shipments followed to meet the demand which resulted from such experiments, the produot having met with favor wherever used. This company claims to have procured let ters patent for a certain process of manufscturlng an extraet from canaigre. Experiments made with this process are said to have deter mined the fact that an extraet can be made from cultivated canaigre at a coat with which extracts of oak and hemlock can not compete. Mr. El 0. Denlg of Deming, N. M., has taken an active part in calling attention to the merits of this plan, expending both time and money in getting tanners to test its merits in the manufacture of leather. He sent samples of roots in considerable quantity to Chicago and other places, and with the aid of chemists whom he employed, suc ceeded in making an extract of a high grade. The establishment of the tan ning extract works at Deming is largely the result of Mr. Denig’s labors. t DEMAND FOB OANAIGBB. § Mr. R. J. Kerr, of Deming, N. M., who 1b engaged in gathering and ship ping canaigre, has kindly furnished the following information. He says: “1 shipped the first car load ever shipped from Tucson in February, 1887, to Martin & Miller, Glasgow, Scotland. It was shipped in the green state and arrived there in good order. After the trial they told me, while in Glasgow, that they alone could use ten thousand tons annually if it were possible to get it at £8 (840) per ton in a sliced and dried state. In January, 1890, I shipped the first car load, sliced and dried, from here to Liver* pooL In some unaccountable manner it got wet and, with the exception of four or five sacks, was ruined. I then made continuous shipments for the balance of the year with but slight loss. ” Among the articles which have appeared is one that deserves more than passing notice: “Canalgre, a New Tanning Material,” by Prof. W. Eitner. Prof. Eitner is at the head of the Vienna Research Station for Leather Industry, and a recognized authority in Europe on such matters. He has tested canaigre from the stand point of a practical tanner. In that article he especially recommends it for its quickness in tanning. He says: “I consider this article especially adapted for tanning uppers, fine sad dlery and fancy leathers. It can be used alone or in connection with other materials” He also states that at the price laid. down in Vienna—18 florin per 100 klla (about 80S per ton)—it is quite reasonable. In fact he has everything to say in its favor, and nothing against it The European tanners are awake to the value of this material. The Ger man Tanning school at Freiburg, Saxony, mentions canaigre aa one of the materials with which they are working and experimenting. In 1886 a tannery was erected at Tucson for tanning hides with canaigre, but owing to lack of proper management and disagreement among stockholders the business was never fairly started. A considerable number of cattle hides and other skins were tanned rnd sent to leather dealers in this country, all of whom rated the material produced as of first quality. That canaigre is an efficient and valuable tanning agent is no longer a question. It has passed the experimental stage, and would no doubt be adopted at once by the trade if it were not for the fact that the present supply is limited and uncer tain. _ Gratae* for timing. Bulletin No. 33 has just been issued by the Utah experiment station at Logan. It treats of the “grazing val ues of varieties of grass,’’ and “drill ing versus broadcasting grass seed.’’ The grazing experiment has been carried on for two years on upper bench gravelly soil. In 1893 a steer was kept on each of the half acre lots during the whole summer; while in 1894 two steers were put on each half acre the latter part of May, and the lota quickly eaten off. This gives a test of the lasting qualities of the dif ferent grasses, as well as a test of their early growth. Two points are brought out promi nently of practical importance; the first is that lucerne comes seventh out of a list of nine for an all summer pasture, and only gets to second place as an early pasture. This strongly indicates that there are several grasses better for pasture than lucerne. The other point is that a “mixture" of grasses gave nearly double the gain of any of the common grasses alone. The bulletin is summarized as fol lows: “A mixture of pasture grasses proved very much superior for grazing steers to each one of the grasses sown singly. “Of the single varieties, tall oat grass leads, with timothy second, and lu cerne third. “The results indicate that the differ ence in the pasturage value of the several grasses is very marked.’’ The drilling of timothy seed, as against broadcasting,gave an increase in yield of hav of about 8 per cent. There was found to be less moisture in the drilled area than in the broad casted area; though thir fact may not ’be unfavorable. I Temperature slightly favored the drilled area. . .. . i < 1 ■ :■ HU Heart Mowed Down.

"Then these New York newspapers are blamed liars, b'gosh, and 1 don’t keer who knows it!” said he.
