THE EDITOR'S BOOK TABLE. 



"CEYLON RUBBER PLANTER'S MANUAL." By R Gamier T'lt 

 Times of Ceylon Co., Limited, Colombo, Ccvlon. (Small quarto 7)1 

 by 6'A inches, 206 -f-lS.S pages, illustrated.)' quario, /#-« 



A THOROUGHLY TECHNICAL AND PRACTICAL HAND-BOOK designed 

 for planters in Ceylon, but, with certain modifications, 

 useful to planters in Southern India and Malaya, wherever the 

 conditions of climate and soil are similar. The author begins 

 by clearing the ground for rubber cultivation; he then examines 

 the soil, fertilizes it, plants the trees, and nurses them to 

 tapping age. He describes the methods of tapping and the 

 diseases to which plants are subject, then turns to "manufac- 

 turing" and the factory. These are the local terms for pre- 

 paring the rubber for market, and for the buildings where 

 the smoking and packing of the crude rubber are done. 



The latter half of the book is taken up with provisions for 

 the coolie labor employed, the housing, sanitation, medical care 

 of the laborers, and with architectural plans for the many 

 buildings required. At the end are interesting and instructive 

 statistical tables of the yearly cost of running a large plantation, 

 with detailed lists of expenditures. It teaches the Ceylon 

 planter all that a book can tell him, and will be helpful to 

 planters in neighboring lands.
