Trosa the Soutbern Field mal Firestde. Home-Made Leather. Lot isvn t1, Ga.,- Nov. .8th Dr. Lee,-Dear Sir: Your editorals upon the subject of Tannitig are very instructive, and 1 have read':them with a gret deal of interest, but Ifthink they-fall to meet the wants of the faner, especial ly those in common circuinstances, Near every fauner has frofl ive to ten hides; and if each one could tau his own leather r'. home, these few hides would make lIeather enough to furnish shoes for all his fainily, and for plantation use besides. This is a time of sp*eulation, and if the hides are sold to men who own tannerios, they will not bring more money than will buy a pair of shoes at the prices now asked for them. I hope you will give the desired information with full instrc tius. through the columns of the &uth Ka ...y;l and Firaide, how farmers may tan their own leather at homses Yours respeotfiuily, J.G. J. The above request is both sensible and titel v, and we will endeavor to meet the wishes of the wri.ver. It will be better for several tirimurs having from five to ten hides each, to unite in the purchase of a bark mill for grinding tan bark, and constructing a few vats for their common use, than for one to be at the whole ex pens for so small a business as his ow it alone. The most primitive way of tan ning is In troughs dug out Of largo trees like pine and poplar; but molasses and ba'cti hogsheads will form the cheapest tau vats fir the farmer's use. Dig out the earth two thirds the 3epth of the hogs heads, pound moist. clay over the bottom on which the hogsheads are to stand. Three or four will do for the tanning part Of leather-making. Let themr not corme within six inehes (f each other, so that moist clay huay be pounded5 closely around "sn h o-ishead to within three inches '.d the top. It' hark cannot be ground, it should b broken or cut tne with an axe, so as to fill two of the hogsheads. Hent clear spring or rain water boiling hot in large puts or kettles till the bark in both lgsheads is covered with it. Let the bark steep a:d soak a week or more, while the raw hides are prepared for th. oiLC and tanning. One hogshead will de fbr this, but two are better. They ought to stand somie yards from thi hark vats cause limo spattering into the ooze in jures it. Sur:ound these with clay lik the hogshead used for tanning. After the horns, tail and dew-claws ar< reineed frot a igreen hide, it is split in to two halves or sides, from the tail t' the nose on the pate. If the hide is dry it mgtust soak and soften first. Afte- it i, Spit, it goes upon the beam, and the ope rative scrapes and tears off all the flesi ai part of the fascia or membrane, whiel covers the fesh side of every skin. It i: now reetilv fir the limo. A half hushe f re.ertly slaked limte or some les o :iuia tile will do for a hogshead nearly tall of water. The lime and water sh--ik i. well stirred with a clean hoe, of th a !u;nge." before putting sides or skin iTto the same. Thurvey should be olte moved abort in the line-water by a leve si:,O seven (r tight feet long, and hauled out lnce a day with an iron or woode1 he ok. Anuch a~s taners use. So soon a the~ hair w~ill slip, sides i-ho uid be worke< over the beami and r~insed in the soak, o wa~ter hogshead, to remove the hair anm all the lime. Trhe hogshead used as soak, washed clean, is now to serve as hen-dung vat or bate to extract all th< lime in Ao tissues of the hides and skins A bushel of elean, dry hen manure wil answer for a bate. It ferments and is ripe for use in one or two days, after soak ing in a haNf hogshead or more of water Mieh pains and care is uised! in working sides and skins out of the hate, as thea go from this into the tan ooze. They wvil] soon saint and spoil in warnm weather. Worked and washed clean, the sides and skints are next lrnndled two or three time a day in tan ooze until they are eveuly covered and get a handsomue, fine gr-ain. The handling is done in thisb wise: Place three or four ph-Les of plank four feet long d~own as a platftarm, so as8 tt slopre over the hoigsheaid, mx:d let ooze from the leather, when lifted out of it upon the plank, run back into the hogs. h;.ad and not waste on the grouind. Short p'eees of scanatling or sticks of' clean wood lie onl three sides of the planak over which the edges of the two first sides laid down, extenld, and thus form a sort of trough, open only at. the end] that lies overth edge of the hogshetd. All the sides are drawn up separate fromt the liquor with a hook and spread by hand on the platform, and alre thrown hack ito the ooze again. If the latter is weak, it is la?f or maore pumtipedl out, and frcah strong ooze is pumped in. The two hogesheads of bark, with biiilinag het water, will keep up the strength as fast ais ten or twelve sides can possibly absorb it. after starting with two haogsheadls of gooid ooze. Youi c-annot heat od ooze0 in an iron vessel, as it would spoil it ;lbut you may perhaps beg ori b:orrow ai copper still iii which tan ooze many be heated withont the least injury te the liquor or the still. The heated ooze is put on the bark, as it is iiuch better than water, where it is allowed to becomt about as cool as the atmosphere. As the tanning advancos, sides and skius require less handling~. We should hang themn across sticks an inch or less ii dineter, in and undler the ooze. The cuds oif these sticks or rods should rest on a slight fratme in the hogshead, and ti;ir inches or mo.re bclowv the trip. Allow. ing two inches for each stick and side, fifteen sides would occupy thirty inches in width in the hogshead. Pates and butts hang down neas the bottom of the h igshead where the ooze is strongest. A smnall hand-pump should be put frequent. ly by the side of the leather and of the h- g.,head to lift the oo~ze at the bottom to the top. Sides are hmadled a week or two before suspending themn sopiarately in As pumnping is easior and less wasteful than dripping, we will state the way in wihwe amake a cheap aid good pump for- tan-~yard purposes: is whioie length shldjtai be someI six fee., and ihoamateriatl i.ot ive-r anm iim-az thiek. Theo(j'i 'penisace 0i4 the~ in-side ihr thle teent. of (ooze (a a~ater shouhl be a bout. ltbree. ineb--;s ogunre'. Two st rips of Iplank three inc-h.s wide., * and two five inches, the latter lying on the formweog botji sidlef will forre an. --am i, tha anm.- af thkee hm.1 square. The plank ought to be closely ijointed, and either painted or covered with tar or melted pitch so make all the joints vat~er-tight. Of course the nailing should be close and plerfet. A box of half-inch plank comes up two inches inside from the bottom of the pump for the lower leather valve to rest on. One #de of the valve is tailed to one side of the box, and a piece of wood covers the leather to strenthen the valve. The upper valve is very simple, but not easy to describe. imagine a funnel made of thin, flunky sole leather, tour inches in diameter across the top amd a nimny deep down to the neck ; and that its centre is nailed or tied fist to a rod that is to serve as a piston in the pump. The weight of water or other liquid to be raised in pumaping, can set this pliable leather cup to adapt it-elf to the prese shape of the apemrure in the pump; and to prevent this cup or fiinuel talling back in lifting ooze or wt ter, three narrow strips of' leather sewed to the top of the funnel on three sides (one ot each,) are railed with small nails w the piston-rod above, say six inches froti the funnel. A small but strong wooden pin pastes through the upper end of the rod, which, held in the hand, ena bles one to lift easily all the liquid in the pump. The discharge from the pump is made in the usual way, a foot or more below the top of it. Any one who can use a plane can make a pump of this kind take ooze from the bottom of one vat, tub c.. hoshead filled with either bark or leather, and put it expeditiously into another, where all stand on a level, or nearly so. A thin case keeps the tan.bark or leather from tilling the little space re quired by the pump, which is put into the vat or hogshead and taken out as often as needed. Any blacksmith can make the beaming knives used hv tanners, but not those used by currier in finishing leather. The tortmer are curved, and often have snmall teeth to tear up the tough memibrane un der the skin. All tan-bark should lie kept clean and dry ; for dirt and earth blacken leather. Careless persons often get clay or mud into tan-vats, than which nothing is more injurious. Few arts deimmnid equal neat ness in their operatives. With the most improved apparatus and good bark the labour of tanning is small. An expeturt will work one hundred grown hides into the bark or ooze in a month, for which we generaliy paid twenty dolhlars and the labour of tanning I wo inadred -ides wc.s about the same, after they came to the bark. If a farmer can get his hides tanned and curried for half of the leather thay will make. it is prob.bly better than to attempt to tan them himself. Let him improve his pastures by cultivatinmg the best grasses, and rai-e iiure fat cattle for h omuiie consumnption, and thus have three or four hidt- ti.r tho tanner where he has one now. This will call first-class tane ries intoexistenee, that will give a pound of good sade leather fr i pundi(: of dry hide, or nearly that. Every former ought to save all the tan-bark he eat: ; f ir we speak advisedly when we say that the Confederate States are even now short (o1 cak hark if they are to tn:umfacture all th eat er wh they co.n..ime in sad and c'arriageJ trimminitgs, cas hat-lininigs, bo ok-binding's, shmoes and boots.
