Sumac, which grows abundantly in
certain sections of the United States,
may be gathered and sold prottably
to tanners and dye manufacturers,
say the specialists of the bureau of
chemistry, United States department
of agriculture. The price of sumac
has increased in recent years because
of the decrease in impOrtatlons of this
plant from Sicily. The American
sumac, if properly gathered and cured,
is equal to the imported article.
In certain sections of Pennsylvania.
Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia
good wages can be made, the depart
ment says, by gathering and selling
sumac during July, August and Sep
TENDER. Arrangements for the sale of
the sumac should be made before It is
gathered.

The remainder diminish In length at
a regular ratio, each being just two
thirds the length of the one before.
This arrangement was devised by the

feet harmony. Now. the number three
IS tie emblem of heaven and two of
earth. If then two pipes or tubes be
made In the proportion of three to
two, they will harmonic in tone as
perfectly as earth and heaven. SO the
base tube of the instrument was, made
nine inches long and the second two
thirds that length. or six inches. OF
course, the third has to be twO-thirtls
the length of the second, or four
inches and so on. The result was
that the note of the second tube was
what we call an interval of a fifth
above that of the first, that of the third
fifth above the second. and so on
through the whole range.
