at Singapore is somewhat enthusiastic
over what has been done.
The wide reaches of waste lands on
the islands of Singapore. which have
been OF no use since the culture of
gambler, coffee and pepper was given
up. are now the scenes Of activity
Rubber plants are being set out over
these deserted wastes. and seem to 90

land has been drained and converted
into a nursery for Para rubber plants,
which was sold at a good profit to the
planters on the island.
In Malacca there were formerly
many square miles of land covered
with lalang. the hiding place of the
tiger and other big game, which have
been transformed into fine rubber
plantations, and now Malaeca, which
has for years been largely neglected,
is in a flourishing condition. "A short

The eastern rubber boom has caused

of the shares has been used as part
payment of purchase price. In many
cases only a portion of the total capt.

taken geat financial interest in these
flotations. The amount actually eX-
pended represents only a modest part
of the total value set upon these prop
critics by the specializing public.
AS Senator Aldrich truly observed,
the widely increasing demand for rub

sible for the boom in this industry.
Those who saw it coming up are the
winners, and Utah will profit by the
enterprise Of certain of its citizens who

THE RUBBER INDUSTRY.

Interest in the question of the pro-

awakened by the dispute between SEN
ators Aldrich and Bristow. All over
the world. wherever possible. the rails
ing Of rubber trees and shrubs has
developed into an important industry.
American firms and companies
have invested heavily in rubber lands
in Mexico, and numerous citizens of
Salt Lake have brilliant prospects of
accommodating a fortune in consequence
OF their forethought.
OF course the matter of issuing
stock in paper companies has been
overdone, the failure of half a dozen
small Shanghai banks being eloquent
proof that a fortune is not TO be
gained in a day even in the rubber
plantation business.
The rubber craze has been on for
some time, and the English people

BEYOND BOOK LEARNING.

The mere matter OF ''readin'. 'riting
an 'rithmetic" is not all of even a
common school education. A profess
sor in the University Of Chicago, who
appears TO be more sensible than most
of the professors of the same univer-
sity who break into print. recently
told his pupils that he should con-
slider them educated in the best sense
of the word when they could say yes
to every one OF fourteen questions that
he should put to them. The questions
follow:
Has your education given sympa-
thy with all good causes and made you
espouse them?
Has it made you public spirited?
Has it made you a brother TO the
weak?
Have you learned how TO make
friends and keep them?
Do you know what it is TO be a
friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or a
pure woman straight in the eye?
Do you see anything TO love in lit
tie child?
VIII lonely dog follow you in the
street?
Can you be high-minded and happy
in the meaner drudgeries of life?
Do you think washing dishes and
hoeing corn just as compatible with
high thinkiIg'as piano playing or golf ?
Are you good for anything TO your
self? Can you be happy alone?
Can you look out on the world and
see anything except dollars and cents
Can you look into a mud puddle by
the wayside and see anything in the
puddle but mud?
Can you look into the sky at night
and see beyond the stars? Can your
soul claim relationship with the Crea-
tor?
Some Of the questions propounded
by the professor look trivial, but read
them over carefully and gather the
philosophy in each and every one of
them. Education is not all book
learning"

thought that at some future time they

if they acted as guards on street cars

II is unfortunate that thu labor

unfavorable light. for if policemen
who hold union cards are allowed 10
disobey orders or to use their own
judgment regardless OF the opinion
OF their chief or the mayor Of the

the Democratic party is too small to
be divided even by two. The outing
at Saltair was merely a hint as to
what will happen this fall when the
old-line Republicans get chance to
express themselves at the polls. There
is no discount on Utah Republicanism.

Potatoes may be piled in bins. They
should be kept in dark place to keep

They should be thoroughly dry before

Onions should be thoroughly dried

Squashes and pumpkins do not keep

~HE selection of the breed of
poultry is always momen-
tous problem to the beginner.
There are some poultry breed
ers and far too many farmers who
make this problem of breed selection
continual one and are always chang
ing or sending away for sitting OF
eggs of some newly advertised breed
of poultry or swapping ROSTERS with
the neighbors. Such fckleness, of
course, prevents all progress.
For those who are breeding standard
bred poultry and whose main object in
keeping fowls is to win the prizes at
the shows and thereby sell stock to
farmers and other breeders the selec-
ton of breed is a most important ques-

Onion Culture.

Where only a few onions are want
ed the best plan is to buy a quart OF
onion sets and plant them three inches
apart in rows eighteen inches apart.
They should be covered about an 1nch
deep. Onions must be kept free from
weeds and hoed frequently. When
grown from seed they must be soWn
thickly and later thinned by hand.
Larger and better onions will be Sc
cured by planting the seed early In the
hotbed. AS soon as the weather be-
comes settled in the spring they can
be hardened off, and transplanted to
the garden setting them about three
inches apart.
If the onions show a tendency to
ego all to tops a barrel may be rolled
over the row to break the tops over
This will cause the growth to be trans
ferred to the bulbs. After the tops are
dead the bulbs should be pulled and
spread out in thin layers in shed or
some other we'll ventilated place to
dry. After they are well cured they
can be sacked up and stored any place
where there is no danger of freezing.

TROUBLESOME GARDEN PESTS
How to Rid the Horne Garden of These
JnvweIcone Visitors.

How to Rid the Home Garden OF These
Unweicome Visitors.
One of the most troublesome garden
insects is the striped cucumber beetle.
which so often plays havoc with Gu
cumbers, melons and squashes. Prob
ably the most effective way of getting
rid of beetles in the home garden Is by
the use of frames covered with net
ting. Light box lumber is all right
for these frames. They should be
made about eight inches square and
four inches high. The top should be
covered with screen or mosquito net
ting.
These frames should be placed over
the plants as soon as they begin to
appear through the ground and left
until the plants have outgrown them
Then they can be put away and kept
for the next year.
A simpler and cheaper remedy, but
one that is more work. is to go over
the vines in the morning while the
dew is on and tap each one gently to
knock the beetles off on the ground.
Then with a common oil can filed
with kerosene apply drop of oil to
let any of the oil touch the plants.
By going over the patch two or three
times most Of the beetles can be killed.
Cabbage worms are very trouble
some at times. The paris green-bor-
deaux mixture is the standard remedy
for these as well as all other biting
insects. To make it dissolve one
pound of copper sulphate in a wooden
pail. Stake one and one-half pounds
of fresh lime, preferably with hot
water. Add enough water to the cop
per sulphate solution to make five gal
Ions and do the same to the lime.
| Now pour the two solutions together
| and stir WELL Stir one ounce of paris
green to a thick paste with little
cold water, add it to the bordeaux
| solution and stir we'll This mixture is
the standard remedy for both insects
and fungous diseases 1t should be ap-

There is sometimes difficulty in get
ting a liquid spray to stick to the
