r. Z cEMAND FOR UMBRELLAS.

Saiesmsn's Point of View.
- aturslly," said the umbrella sales
N Il, we sell more umbrellas when it
:fins than when it doesn't, but ideal
eatter for the retail umbrella trade
would be found in a constant success
sion of days that started bright and
clear and wound up stormy.
''To be sure we sell more or less um-
brellas all the time on clear days as
we'll as on rainy. In time of peace
prepare for war, you know, and that
sort of thing. and there are people
who buy their umbrellas and have
them ready; but it is on such a day
have described that We sell the most
umbrellas
You take a bright and sunny and
lovely day that promises to stay SO
and that holds so until along in the
afternoon, a day on which the streets
and the stores are filled with shoppers
and then let a storm come up, taking
people unaware-then We sell UNI
brellas.
"On such a day we have customers
here standing along the umbrella
counter perhaps two or three deep
people buying umbrellas; on such a
day we sell hundreds of umbrellas in
one afternoon. It's an i'll wind that
blows nobody good, don't you know
the rainy days are the bright days in
the umbrella business"

USING WOOD WASTE.
It is Good for Door Handles and q
Score of Other Things.

1t is Good for Door Handles and q
Score of Other Things.
Satisfactory substitutes for wood,
horn, rubber and like materials are
produced by F. Ander of Medgyes,
Hungary, by new treatment of wood
waste. After a preliminary treat
ment and hardening with size and
such solution as aluminium salts or
potassium bichromate, the waste is
dried and ground, and the fine ma
terial is then mixed with a binding
agent such as glue, containing little
potassium bichromate, together with
oatmeal or linseed meal, or other sub
stance containing starch, gum, or
varnish.
The details OF the process may be
considerably varied. Further harden
ing may be given by the addition of
mineral mctteTs. such as infusorial
earth, chalk, kaClin or fine alumina;
and toughness may be impaired by
adding to 10 per cent of chopped
textile fiber, rags, hemp, jute or the
like. Coloring matters may be in
corporated. The m ass, after thorough
mixing, is subjected to the action of
steam, and nodded under pressure.
BY suitable variations the waste is
in this way specially adapted for
bobbins, door and drawer handles
boxes, foorings, wall coverings,
dishes, fancy goods, and furniture.

Feeding Farm Handa

Every farmers wife knows what trs-
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat well they
work we'll, too.
Here's a good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty
of Quaker Oats. A big dish of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for a man who needs
vigor and strength for a long days
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive ia
tigue. There is a sustaining quality
in Quaker Oats not found in other
foods, and for economy it is at the
head of the list. Besides the regular
size packages Quaker Oats is packed
in large size family packages, with
and without china. 8

of too private a nature to be available

ILLINOIS TC.1LE FARM.

Owner ExCe-ts Also to Esise Gold
Fish ard Guinea P:gs.
A mud turtle farm, which will also
be devoted to the raising of mlsh-
rooms, gold fish and guinea pigs, is
the latest venture of the head of one
of the big Western railroads. Presi-
dent H. I. Miller of the Chicago &
hit upon this novel form of diversified
farming as a relief from bu-iness
cares, and he intends incidentally to
show the farmers OF the grain belt that
200 acres CT terTapins and guinea pigs
will Fay bigger dividends than even
so cent cCrn.
The farm is located at harrington,
a suburb of Chicago, and is a tract Of
rolling, tiInbered land. Numerous la
goons and roads are being dug at vari-
Gus points on the property, and an
elaborate system Of irrigating bitches
will be established The guinea pig
yards will cover several acres and will
be the largest, it is expected in the
country. The mushrooms will be al
lowed to grow wild wherever they will
in marshy spots and damp hooks in
the woods.
With the starting of the farm comes
to light some interesting facts about a
little known industry. 1t is estimated
that over 10000 turtles are conusumed
annually in Chicago restaurants. Some
of them are terrapin, but the greater
part are mud turtles, soft shells and
snappers. The demand for mush-
rooms is enormous.
