XCopyrlght, 1918, by Frank G. Carpels- J

T OSTON, Mass. I hare figured out
- the cattle needed to furnish the
' shoes already supplied to the
Army. They are so many that if you
could bridge the ocean by a roadway 40
feet wide all the -way from Boston to
France the animals would fill the
bridge and reach on to the trenches.
In this Instance the cattle could be
driven nose to tail 20 abreast and each
score allowed 10 or 12 feet of the length
of the roadway. By the Government
specifications we can get only five
pairs of shoes out of each hide, and the
number of pairs so far made is in the
neighborhood of 30,000,000.
;' In addition to this is the great
amount of leather needed for saddles
and leggings. This means the con
sumption of millions of cattle, and
also multitudinous pigs, for the best
leather for saddles and leggings
comes from the hog.
And then there are the gloves which
the soldiers use. They are made of
horse hides and colt skins. There are
also the Jerkins or vests which the
airmen, the Navy, and even the boys
in the trenches"must have to Keep out
the cold. The jerkins are made of
sheepskin with the wool on. They are
the warmest of the garments possessed
by the soldiers.
Furthermore, - we must have vast
quantities of leather of one kind and
another for the harness of the cavalry
and straps for the artillery and Army
equipment. A great deal is used in
automobiles, motor trucks and in the
machinery that goes to the battlefield.
In fact, the war now demands every
class of good leather for one purpose
or another; and It comes from the ox,
cow and calf, the horse ani colt, the
sheep and the lamb, the goat and the
kid, as well as from the water buffalo.
and the hog, and even the seal, alliga
tor and kangaroo.
In addition to these Items are the
many varieties of leather used in the
Industries making munitions and sup
plies and all sorts of goods for the
Army and Navy so thatskins of every
description have a part in the war.
All of this leather has to be made in
the American tanneries. We have
hundreds of them and they handle each
year the skins from which almost
$1,000,000,000 worth of leather products
are made. They tan something like
10,0000,000 hides to produce the heavy
leathers, and about 100,000,000 other
akins from which the lighter leathers
f- are made. About one-fourth of this
leather comes from animals killed at
home and the most of it from the meat
packing houses which are today the
chief source of domestic supply. The
number of cattle so killed would fill a
bridge twice as long as the one above
mentioned, and in addition we get the
skins of more than 6,000.000 calves,
14.000,000 sheep, about 300.000 goats
and more than 100.000 horses and colts.
All these taken together make a total
of about 34,000,000 animals, whereas
the number of hides and skins which
go through the tanneries are four or
five times as great. The balance is im
ported and we pay-for it in the neigh
borhood of $160,000,000 a year. At
least that Is what we paid for the
amount we imported in 1916, the year
before we entered the war. During
that year we brought in from abroad
the hides of 7,000,000 cattle and those
of 4,000,000 calves. .The goat skins im
ported numbered 62,000,000, and the
hides of horses and colts represented
an equine population of 600,000. The
sheepskins from abroad weighed more
than 100.000,000 pounds, and we .had
more than 1.000,000 pounds of raw
skin from kangaroos. This raw mate
rial came from all the countries of the
world excepting those with which we
are at war and those which no ship
can now reach. About one-fifth of the
hides were from Argentina and Uru
guay. The sheepskins came from Great
Britain, China and India and a large
number of them were from the flocks
of South Africa and New Zealand. The
kangaroos came from Australia, for the
kangaroo Is found nowhere else on the
globe. The horse and colt skins were
chiefly from South America and Brit
ish ports.
The raw materials of the leather In
dustry come mostly from the 21 coun
tries at war with Germany. The only
question of getting the material Is
chips. There are large supplies of
hides In South America. We have to
have ships to get them to the United
States. There are large supplies in
China, and the same is true of Africa
and Australia. They have to be sent
over thousands of miles of water to
our ports.
At present the United States and
Great Britain have pooled their inter
ests In the buying of hides. They are
competed' with by Germany, which Is
buying raw materials needed for war
fare In all the countries of the world
This is notwithstanding they have no
means of getting them to Germany. It
buys them to keep them out of the
hands of its enemies. It may have .to
cell the hides later, for they will not
keep Indefinitely, and, if so, it will be
at a niga price.
Just now the buying of this vast
product intended for leather is more
or less directly in the hands of the
Government. Uncle Sam Is the chief
customer for all kinds of raw ma
terlals, and you might think It would
be easy for the men furnishing our
leather to get a big rake - off from
every Government order. It Is not.
The War Department has a board

In Washington Is also an organisation
known as the tanners' council, which
came together as soon as we entered
the war to co-operate with the war
industries board and the War Depart
ment in the purchase of skins both at
home and abroad and in all importa
tions of leather from other parts of
the world. This council represents
many branches of the leather Indus
try. It has no capital etock, and it
pays no dividends. It is not a bxrying
or selling organization, and its only
object is to furnish the Government
with Information aa to the- supply of
leather materials both at home and
abroad, and to aid it in placing con
tracts which will eliminate exorbitant
profits and most efficiently mobilize
the leather Industry for the work of
the war. The council costs the Gov
ernment nothing, and it is maintained
at the expense of the tanners. It is
one of many patriotic Institutions of
the kind which have come to the sup
port of the country In this time of need.
All of the Government orders for
leather are fixed upon the advice and
Information of associations like this,
and every attempt is made to get the
best material at the lowest possible

NOTHING detracts so much from
the appearance of a poultry house
bs dark, filthy walls covered with
cobwebs and dust. The place is unl-
vlting to ourselves, and to the fowls
that make It their home. Since much
of the grain fed poultry Is scattered
in the litter on the floor of the poultry
house, we have another reason why
the inside of the house should be bright
and sanitary. The fowls will waste
grain thrown in the litter of a dark
house. A coat of whitewash on the
walls will quickly change this dark
house into an attractive home for the
inmates.
But. before the whitewash Is applied.
let us first catch all the fowls and con
fine them in coops, boxes or barrels.
where we can quickly handle them
later. Then clean up the drop board, re
move the litter, dig up the floor and
level lt again and take out all fix
tures that are movable. Sweep down
the walls. If there are many crevices
and cracks between the boards near
the roosting quarters, I would recom
mend covering this portion with good
heavy building paper. I prefer an un
sized paper to roofing paper, because
the latter cannot be satisfactorily
whitewashed.
Aa Excellent Whitewash.
I have tried many different ways of
mixing whitewash, and have found the
following scheme the most satisfac
tory: Slake two pecks of lime with
boiling water, adding the hot water
slowly and stirring constantly until a
thin paste results. Then work into
the lime paste a gallon of salt until
the mixture is smooth. Now add water
to bring the salted paste to the desired
consistency. Just before applying the
wash, add a handful of Portland ce
ment and a teaspoonful of bluing to
each pail of the wash. Mix well. The
cement makes the wash stick to wood,
stone, brick or concrete, and not rub
off, while the blueing counteracts the
gray color and the result Is a snow-
white wash.
This whitewash is excellent for
either indoor or outdoor use. It sticks
on, wears well, and lt can be applied
either by a sprayer or brush. Some
years ago I tried mixing a little crude
carbolic acid with the wash to Increase
its lnsectidal qualities. The acid made
yellow streaks on the Wall, and, while
better results might be obtained by
adding a small percentage of some
coal-tar or other Insecticide. I can see
no object in doing this.

can be out from each hide. Ton may
have heard of sides of leather. The
larger skins are cut along the back
into two halves or aides, and each side
is divided into the shoulder, the bend
and the back. The bend is the best
portion of the back behind the shoul
der. It makes the firmest and best
leather of the entire skin, and is de
voted chiefly to the higher grades of
shoes. The bend for the Pershing shoe
must be not more than fifty-two Inches
long from the root of the tall and not
more than twenty-eight inches wide.
The wording is such that there can be
no -question is to the character of ma
terial. It is the same with the orders for
trench shoes which have already been
issued. The specifications for them
are so many that they would fill
about three columns of this news
paper. They relate to. the kinds of
leather used for the uppers, for the
outer aoles, middle soles and inner
sores. They specify the leather for
every part of the shoe, including the
heels, "which are to be from oak,
union or hemlock sole leather of good
quality, free from holes' or blemishes
which will affect the wear." They
specify how the leather Is to be cut,
and give an Infinite detail of technical
requirements which would not be un
derstood by the man outside the tan
nery and the factory.
This letter is to give rou some idea
of the leather Industry which is now
so important in this time of war.
Leather has always been valuable in
warfare. - Away back in the stone age
bowstrings were made of skin, and all
the armies of the distant past had
leather shields. It was with a sling
made of" leather that the great Goliath
was slain by the boy shepherd David;
and, long before that, man had learned
how to cure all sorts of skins. We
know they made shoes at the time of
the Pyramids, and that the Egyptians
tanned leather long before the Israel
ites cams to toll on the banks of the
Nile. In China specimens of leather
have been discovered in company with
the only parasite that lives In the poul-
try house. He makes his home in a
crevice in the roost, in the space be
tween the end of the roost and the
roost support, and in the nest and
nesting material. Whitewash does not
kill this parasite. The most popular
liquid used against him is common
kerosene Or coal oil. All through the
South you can see colored women with
rag and kerosene washing the i costs
and adjoining places where red mites
reside. The kerosene can be greatly
8IWGLE-COMB
THB3 egg machines the Leghorns
are always In demand, not only
with those who measure the worth
of s flock of fowls by the number of
eggs produced, but also with the fan
cier. They are bred in several colors,
but the white is the most popular. This
is due, perhaps, because it is easier to
breed white fowls than, colored ones.
To the fancier, however, the single
comb Buff Leghorn makes a strong
appeal. It Is possessed of all the heavy
laying proclivities of Its white cousin.
The eggs are fertile, hatch well and the
chicks are comparatively easy to rear.
Like the whites, the buffs make good
squab broilers at eight weeks of age.
Breeding to good shape and the cor
rect shade of buff at the same time IS
the most difficult feature of the breed.

our forefathers settled here they be
gan to build tanneries and make
leather for sale. Three years after the
Pilgrims set foot on Plymouth Rock,
Experience Mitchell and Francis In
galls came from that place to Lynn
and Brldgewater and put up tanning
establishments. .Experience Mitchell
called his tannery "Joppa" in memory
of the port of Palestine, where Peter
stayed over night at the house of Simon
the tanner, and after what was prob
ably a meatless day had his wonderful
vision. You will find all about lt in
Acts x:S-16.
Shortly after the establishment of
these first tanneries Roxbury, now a
part of Boston, became a tanning cen
ter, and other tanneries were estab
lished throughout New England until
now there are hundreds of them, and
the tanneries, shoe factories and oth
er leather-making plants of one kind
or another employ more than 1 00,000
workmen and produce something like
$400,000,000 worth of leather goods
per annum. Tanneries were estab
lished in the colony of Virginia al
most as soon as in that of Massachu
setts, and as the country grew they
spread throughout the United States.
They are now everywhere and the
establishments making leather goods
of one kind or another are in the
improved by adding half
crude carbolic acid or cresol to
each gallon of oil. This mixture will
kill every red mite and their eggs.
A less expensive mixture that will
exterminate mites is a 5 per cent solu
ttlon of cresol. or any of the commer
cial liquid lice killers, in water. Buy
a quart or larger can from your drug
gist or seed house, and also a hand
sprayer. The latter costs from 60 cents
to $1, and Is excellent for spraying.

Buff Leghorns were originated in
England. Mrs. Lister Kay was most
active in their production, and, gener
ally speaking, the fowls are the result
of a cross between White Leghorns and
Buff Cochins. Mrs. Kay claims that
certain -yellow fowls from Denmark
also entered into their origin. Early in
the '90s Buff Leghorns were introduced
into the United States, and for several
years they enjoyed an extensive
"boom."
Without a doubt the buffs have all

in our shoes for the soldiers are
largely Imported. Many of them land
at New York, although a large number
are shipped to Boston and some to San
Francisco, New Orleans and Chicago.
They go from the porta to the tan
neries, where they are cured and made
into leathers of o"he kind or another.
The methods of tanning have great
ly changed within recent years. The
tanneries of colonial days were much
like a small country grist mill. The
tanning mixture was oak and hemlock
bark cut from the trees of the forest
nearby, and ground In a little iron mill
moved by a horse or mule. The hides
were soaked in water to soften them,
snd after thst the hair and bits of fat
were scrsped oft. They were then
tanned by putting them In pita with
layers of ground bark between them
After that water was let In, and the
tanning material eoaked from the bark
mixed with the water went Into the
hide, giving lt the preservative quality
which makes the difference between
raw skin and leather. In such tanning
the hides were often allowed to soak
for months. When tanned they were
taken out, dried and finished as the
needs of the msrket required. The
tanneries of today do most of their
knapsack sprayer with an extra white
wash noizle and use it for spraying the
cresol mixture and for whitewashing,
I would not be without It, and while the
cost is greater than the small hand
sprayer, lt Is much more convenient and
satisfactory. One pumping of air Into
the tank will give a good spray for
16 minutes.
If you have some one to help you and
can carry on the whitewashing and the
mite eradication at the same time, then
I would advise confining the fowls that
occupy the house to coops, boxes or
barrels until this work Is over. If the
whitewashing and spraying Is thor
oughly done, there will be no parasites
In the house.
The Best Loose Killer.
Until a few months ago I did not
think It possible to completely wipe out
all the lice and lice eggs on fowls with
one application of any insecticide. This
has been possible with mites, but not
with the body lice of poultry. But I
am now pleased to state that F. C
Bishonp. of the United States Bureau
of Entomology, has recently discov
ered a louse killer that will eradicate
and kill all lice at once.
The substance used la sodium fluor
ide, a fine, white powder, which has
been successfully used In ridding build
ings of cockroaches. Mr. Blshopp has
given his experience with sodium
fluoride, together with drawings and
descriptive matter pertaining to the
many species of lice and mites found
on poultry. In Farmers' Bulletin 801
(Mites nd Lice on Poultry), which Is
mailed free on request to the division
of publications. Department of Agri
culture. Washington, D. C. We cannot
recommend this bulletin too highly.
Bodlum fluoride Is not ordinarily kept
In stock by a druggist, but he can ob
tain it for you from his wholesale,
house. One pound Is sufficient for from
SO to 100 fowls, depending on their size
and abundance of feathering. The cost
averages from 40 to 60 cents. It would
be well to order a can of fluoride In ad
vance. so as to have It on hand when
the housecleanlng Is commenced.
The treatment of the fowls Is quite
simple. The powder Is usually applied
dry. but a solution of fluoride In water
(one ounce- to one gallon) makes a
good house dip. The best way to apply
the powder IS by the pinch method. A
small pinch of the material Is placed
among the feathers next to the skin as
follows! One pinch on the head, one
on the neck, two on the back, one on
the breast, one below the vent, one on
the tail, one on either thigh and scat
tered on the underside of each wing
when spread.
Catch the fowls that were confined
In the ooops and boxes while cleaning
the house, and hold each over a shallow
pan during the dusting, so that any
surplus powder will not be wasted,
Treat every fowl and growing chicken at

keep free of body lice), and one appli

re of Bine Ointment.
Before I learned about sodium fluor
Ida I kept fowls free of lice by treating
them with a poisonous ointment and
Insect powder. The ointment, known
as 33 per cent blue ointment, is used
work the same way, but everything is
on a large scale, and modern machinery
Is used. There are special machines
for almost every process and for every
variety of tanning. There are machines
for manipulating the hide and for tak
ing aft the hair. A leather splitting
machine was Invented when Thomas
Jefferson was President, and now we
have splitting machines thst can be
adjusted to the thousandths of an inch.
By means of a belt as lt whirls around
the thin steel knife sharpens Itself on
an emery wheel. It will split a Mde
into sheets as thin as paper if re
quired. There are also measuring and
cutting machines, which relieve the
tanners of mathematical computation.
Machines for stoning, polishing and
finishing leather were produced as
early as the time of the Mexican war,
and patent leathers and pebbled leath
ers were first made shortly before the
Civil war.
The materials for tanning have
changed, and certain new kinds of
vegetable extracts are used which do
the work more quickly than the bark
of the oak or th hemlock. There Is
an aoorn from Turkey and Greece
which has three times as much tan
nin In lt as the strongest oak bark
and there are pods, of certain South
American trees which are largely used
to make leather. Many other tanning
materials come to the factories in the
form of extracts which can be readily
and cheaply mixed with water, and
there are also pastes and solid extracts
which can be dissolved by heat and
used for tanning. Sumach is also
largely employed. It is found through
out the Southern states and also In
Italy. Gambler Is also a tanning
shrub which comes from the Malay
archipelago. The extract is made by
boiling the shrub, and It is sent to the
market in blocks and tubes. Quebracho
is another tanning material which is
sold as an extract containing from 60
to 70 per cent of tannin. This comes
from a tree that grows in the wilds of
Paraguay. I have seen men cutting the
forests for that purpose and shipping
the wood to market. One cutch comes
from the mangrove tree of the swamps
very sparingly a small dab being
rubbed on the flesh below the vent,
and another under each wing, space
not larger than a dime la covered, for
the reason that this ointment is a mer
curial product, and Is readily absorbed
into the system. This ointment poisons
the body lice, but lt does not reach the
head lice. The head lice, which rarely
migrate to other parts of the body, are
exterminated by rubbing into the
feathers of the head and neck some
yellow Pyrethrum insect powder, or
any commercial louse powder. One ap
plication will kill the mature lice, but
It has no effect on the young lice that
are hatched later. The powder, there
fore, should be renewed every 10 days
for two or three times. Special atten
tion should be given to the dusting of
the head and neck of sitting hens.
Unless the mother la. free of head lice
the youngsters will be covered with
these pests as soon as they are a few
days old.
The blue ointment must be confined
to mature fowls, and an application
every six weeks to two months will
keep the body lice under control.
Growing chicks had best be dusted
with sodium fluoride. Other safe head
lice remedies for chicks are cooking oil
(olive or cottonseed oil) and pure
vaseline. Rub the oil or vaseline
around the head and neck. Do not use
the blue ointment on the head of a
chick, even if It is diluted with grease
or vaseline. Don't use any grease con
taining mercury.
Treat every chick or fowl you pur
chase and kill the lice on It. Don't let
one lousy hen infest the whole flock.
The returns will repay you many times
for the labor and expense of the white
washing, spraying and dusting.

which Is obtained from the acacia tree
of East India.
In fact, we now get our tanning ma
terials from all parts of the world acd
the different varieties are used In one
way or another for making the dif
ferent leathers.
We also do a great deal of chemical
fanning, although this Is chiefly em
ployed for small skins and lip! t
leathers. At present two-thirds of the
glased kid la tanned by the chroire
process. This consists of treating the
skins with bichromate of potash to
which some hydrochloric! acid Is added.
By this method skins may be tanned
within a few hours and the leathtr
produced Is extremely soft and pliable
and of a close texture. The process
was first used largely at Phlladelphl i
and lt has aided In making that city
one of the chief leather manufacturing
centers of the world.
Another process of curing leather
which is lnrgely used for certain va
rieties of skins is tawing. This means
treating them after removing the hair
to baths of bran and water, and after
that to one of alum and salt, and then
covering them with a paste made of
flour and the yolks of eggs mixed
with water. The egjrs go Into the
leather and cure it. The hide la then
dried. and afterward worked and
pulled back and forth to stretch ani
soften lt. It is finally smoothed with
a hot iron. Some glove leather is
made In this way.
The demands of the wsr call for
more or less leather which has been
treated after the chamois process. lit
this the skins are thoroughly cleansed
with lime, drenched with bran, and
while etill wet are oiled with fish,
seal or whale oil. The oil works into
the skin, driving out the water, and
lt becomes a part of the materia),
making lt soft and spongy. Wash
leather Is prepared in this way and
for this the flesh halves of sheepsklna
are used. ,
The most of the chamois is macre
from the skins of deer, elk, buck, goat,
sheep and calf, the first three being
the best.
In County Kerry, one of the hot-beds
of the Sinn Fein, the chairman of the
