**How many uses we find for rubser toâ€"day!‘" cobserved Uncle jJohn, as hc was helping Tommy mend his bicyele tire.. "Yet there are people not so very old who remember when it was more of a cyriosity than anything else, Rubâ€" ber is made from the sap of the rubber or caoutchoue (koocshook) tree, which grows in tropical countries.. The naâ€" tives tap the trees much as we do to get sugar water. At first the sap is of milky colour, but it soon changes to light brown. The Indians of the great GMaranin race often drink the rubber juice while it is fresh. The sap is dried or boiled down ninto gum. It is said that in some parts of Africa the gum gatherers let the sap trickle out on their arms, where the bodily heat scon cordenses it into a thin film which can be readily peeled off. "On arriving at the factory the crude rubber is put to soak in hot water for several hours. It is then cut into pieces This week, after all the celebrations enjoyed, we are going to read about something quite a bit more serious, but, nevertheless very interesting. It has to do with geography, and even if that may not be your favourite subject at school, I am sure you will enjoy hearing all about rubber, when told in the manâ€" ner of the Dayton family.

The ideal system is to practice rctation, and place the gladioli in a different spot in the garden each year. This is desira‘ble since most of the fungi and bacteria causing diâ€" seases of gladioli are soil borne, and if established in the garden will prove to be a source of continual trouble.

If the skins are removed now, as they should be prior to treating, it may be found that a few corms have spots of one kind or another on their surfaces. These are probably the signs of the presence of some bacerial or fungous disease, and corms so affected should be Jurned.
