A Useful Tree.

e Did you know that the India rub
Der of which your ball or your cloak
is made was once the milky-white
sap of treep India rubber trees
grow in the forests of South Amer
lea. A great many men are busy
every year taking the sap from these
trees and making it into India rub
Der.
Deep gashes are cut in the bark OF
these trees, and little cup is put
under each cash. A milky juice
drops from the cash and falls into the
cup. When the cup is full the juice is
poured over large piece of clay or
a flat board, to which it sticks like
Alum.
After this the juice is placed over
fire of palm nuts. A thick, black
smoke rises from the burning nuts,
and gives to the sap, which is now
hard and dry, the dark color which is
common to India rubber. When all
this has been done the India rubber
is ready to be sent away to be made
up into hundreds of very useful
things.
There are SO many things made OF
India rubber that if ] were to name
them all it would be very long list
Caps, overshoes, cloaks, combs, balls
and even tents, boats and bridges are
sometimes made of it. CSp you think
of anything else ?-The Morning Star.

The Chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry has submitted TO the Secre-
tary of Agriculture report upon the
treatment of hogs for cholera with
anti-toxine serum, which is made upon
the same principle as the anti-toxine
for diphtLeria. The serum was first
tested in. the laboratory, and being
found efficacious, has been tested else
where. Out of PA animals treated,
SO of which were sick, only 80 died,
hence 81 s per cent. of the animals in
ehose herds were saved. Of untreated
herds kept under observation during
the same time, So per cent. died. The
Secretary proposes to ask Congress
for an appropriation to enable his de-
partment to furnish two million doses
of serum during the next year, and
