The latent in 



RUBBER TAPPING 



90U MUST USE G. S. BROWN'S "DRIP TINS" 

 FOR ASSISTING THE FLOW OF LATEX and LEAVING 

 A CLEAN TAPPING SURFACE for NEXT CUT. 



These Tins are fixed to the Rubber tree by ordinary broad 

 headed tacks, above the tapping area, on the original or healed bark, 

 They are filled with pure water or other solutions which percolate or 

 drip slowly on to the tapping cut (Herring bone, Spiral, etc ) 



The liquid flows very slowly down the tapping cut, greatly aiding 

 the flow of Latex, keeping' the cut quite clean till the latex has ceased 

 flowing, and thereby preventing the formation of scrap on the newly 

 tapped area. 



The immense saving of Labour is at 



once quite obvious to any one acquanted with tapping- 

 The following will be quite obvious to those acquainted 

 with Rubber Tapping : — 



(i) The immense saving in labour by having a clean 

 surface to take the next cut on instead of having 

 to clean or pick the scrap off by hand involving 

 great loss of time. 



(2) A much larger quantity of latex is obtained through 



the milk tubes being kept open until the last drop 

 has exuded,
