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

cultivation its production would rapid

the investigations to date fully realize

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.

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. . .. .
