Dorothy's letter was an invitation for Peggy to spend a month with her in the Bungalow in the Pines: " 'Not a neighbor for miles, Peggy, not a soul to bother us, nothing to do but play and sing'. You‘ll have ample op- portunity to get some of those compo- sitions out of your system.” Peggy read the words aloud. "How perfect- ly lovely."' she exclaimed, but at that moment the clock on the mantle‘ struck four and the twins upstairsl began to whimper for Mother] The} impossibility of such a vacation tosel up before her and all the glad antici- pation died out of Peggy’s eyes.

' - 3 Increased attention is being devoted 'at present to the sumacs as a source fof tanning materials; in this group i it is not necessary to destroy the tree {as the leaves and not the bark are I used. There are three Canadian spec- iies whose leaves furnish tainin in 3 considerable quantities. Dwarf sumac HRhus corallina) occurs in Southern [ Ontario, white or smooth sumac (Rhus (iiiiiiii; extends from Nova Scotiu to) British Columbia, while staehornl [sumac (Rhus hirta) is found from!, i Nova Scotia to Ontario. I l h The best time to gather the leaves is during the months of July, August and September. The branch of the curt-at year should be cut or broken in such a way as to leave a few buds at the base to continue the growth next season. The leaves contain _ much greater amount of tannin thanl the stems. Green sumac loses 60 tol, 60 per cent. of its weight in drying. I ment While the barks collecto and June are said to eo largest amount of tannin. f vestiga‘inn seems to be nee tom the point can be rel fiv,Clsr settled. as tha nun] not The horse chestnut (Aesculus Hip- pocastannm) although not a native of Canada is fairly hardy at Ottawa. Its bark yields; considerable quantity of tannin, while analysis of the leaves made in different months of the year showed a percentage varying from 'i to 6%. _ Among plants growing wild in Can- 'ada which contain tannin in consider- able 'quantities are the following species: The bark of hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) yields nearly 14 per cent. of tannin; the bark of white spruce (picea canadensis), tamarack (Lari: laricina), and balsam fir (Abies bal- samea), contains 7 per cent to 14 per cent.; the bark of chestnut oak (Query cus Primus), white oak (Quercus alla),) and red oak (Quercus rubra) yields 12 to 16 per cent.; the wood of If,',) erican chestnut (Castanea dentate) yields 8 to 10 per cent. of tannin, while the stems and leaves of different species of sumac contain 16 to 24 per cent. The tannins are of very wide occur- rence in the vegetable kingdom and occur in almost all parts of the plant, but not always in sufficient quantity to be of commercial importance. In the plant known as Canaigre (Rumex hymenosepalus), which is really a species of dock occurring in Texas, it is found in the root; in many trees, such as Hemlock it occurs in the bark;l in the Sumacs it is abundant in this) leaves; while in still other plants itl is found in the fruits or in certain pathological growths known as! "galls," such as those,utts, various', species of oak. I The essential feature in tanning is the precipitation of gelatine by the chemical substance to which the gen- eral term "tannin" is applied, as the result of which hides become leather.

The rooster tried with all his might to get into the habit of laying an egg a day but none could he produce. After a ten-day separation and deep thinking for the same length of time, a reconciliation took place and the hen and rooster are again occupying the same roost in contentment and affec- tion--. A dw or so later, when she had come near enough to the rooster to be heard she said: "The corn and scratch feed are given to us solely because of my ability to lay an egg tt day, but since you don't appreciate it you may hereafter do the egg-laying yourself.", The hen tried and tried to crow, but a shrill cackle was all she could pro- duce. Being a bright hen she quickly decided on a course to pursue. "Very well," replied the rooster. "Our position in society is maintained solely 1sy my famous crowing. When I lift up my voice an answer comes from all the roasts in the neighbor- hood, and I wake up our master every morning at seven o'clock. Since you do not appreciate it, you may herafter do the crowing youreelf." "Because I can not and will not be kept awake all night by your foolish crowing." "Why did you leave me l'" he asked the next day, after he had fooled her info running to him by chuckling and acting as though he had found some- thing to eat. A hen hustled for bugs and scratch- ed for worms the greater part of each day in order that she might be able to lay eggs for the suburbanite. But at night her rest was disturbed by the lusty crowing of her lord and mas- ter. She stood it for a while and then forsook him and took up her roost in a tree.
