How to Heal

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and Inexpensive,
homo treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ring

similar itching, burn
ing skin troubles.
At any rellablo
druggist's get a jar
of resinol ointment
and a cake of resi
nol soap. Theso aro not at all expen
sive, With tho resinol soap and warm
water batho tho affected parts thor
oughly, until they are freo from crusts
and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on a thin layer of the
resinol ointment, and cover with a
light bandage if necessary to protect
tho clothing, This should "bo dono

Itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and tho skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again.

BREED FROM VIGOROUS HENS
Ideal Mating for Breeding Purposes Is
Yearling Cocks With Well-Devcl-oped
Yearling Females.
'By J. E. OOUailEnTY. University of
Cnllfornla. College ot AKrlculture.)
Tho production of a largo egg con
taining a strong embryo and plenty of
nourishment requires that a hen pos
sess woll-matured productlvo organs.
It is necessary that tho embryo not

plied with an abundance of food mate
rials with which to mako that growth.
A pullet does not ordinarily possess
roproductivo organs sufficiently well
doveloped to produce such an egg.
Therefore a pullet does not produco
as good hatching eggs and is not as
desirable for breeding purposes as is
tho yearling hen. Tho pullet must
necessarily utilizo somo of her ener
gies In further growth and develop
ment. After nttainlng her full Blzo,
sho still has to fill out and maturo, as
well aB strengthen her laying organs
through use.

fowls, such as tho Leghorn and Minor

moro rapidly than tho females. Well
dovoloped Mediterranean cockerels aro
theroforo very often used as brooders
when mated with yearling hens. Tho
Ideal mating, however, for breeding
purposes, Is that of vigorous yearling
cocks with well-developed yearling
hens.

on to Late Pullets.
Tho frequent statement that a largo
part of the winter wheat crop will
provo unfit for milling should bo en
couraging to poultry-keepers as Indi
cating cheaper feed this winter. Tho
proportion is put at GO.000,000 to 100,
000,000 bushols out of 600,000,000 bush
els. It is said that it can bo fed to
hogs. It can also bo fed to chickens,
11 not too musty. Caution should be
used on that point. "It's an ill wind
that blows nobody good," and poultry
koopors should not bo in hasto to mar
ket Iato-hatched pullots on tho ground
that It will cost too much to feed them
unto spring.

President Wilson's Plunge in Cotton Is Ended
WASHINGTON. President Wilson's adventuro in cotton has como to an
end. A year ago In tho midst of tho"Buy-n-balo-of-cotton" oxcltemont he
sought to oricourago tho cotton-growers of tho South by buying threo bales ol
tho staple One of theso bales was
bought In Texas, one in Georgia and
ono in Oklahoma. Contrary to com
mon report, tho cotton was novoi
shipped to tho national . capital, and
theroforo was not stored In tho White
llouso basement. It remained in the
warehouses of tho South until nr
rangoments woro mado for its salo.-
Soma timo ago ono Imlo was
turned over by tho president to a cot
ton celobratlon in Now York stato,
which sold it at auction and mado a
handsomo profit. Tho president did not rocolvo any of tho monoy from this
salo. In other words, tho balo was a clear gift to tho organization that dis
posed of it. Another balo waB disposed of in Oklahoma, through Senators
Owen and Goro, with tho understanding that tho proceeds from it would go
to Bomo charity, tho charity to bo selected by tho two senators. It Is under
Btood hero that they havo bostowed tho monoy on a Masonic homo in Okla
homa City. Hero again tho presldont was a losor to tho oxtont of tho monoy
ho put in tho bnlo when ho purchased it. Tho third balo was sold by tho
president at 10 cents a pound, the prico ho paid for tho threo bales. Ho hold
on to this third balo a good whllo, but when ono day a tologram camo from

How the Bureau of Census Manages to Keep Busy
ERSONS who hold tho usual opinion that tho census bureau makes
enumeration only ovcry ten years and spends tho. intervening tlmo com
piling I ho data into various reports aro far from tho truth. As a matter of
fact regular Investigations of various
kinds aro In progress practically all
of tho time, separated by intervals
ranging from two weeks to ton years,
and in addition Bpcclal investiga
tions of almost any nature can, undor
tho law, bo demanded of UncloSam's
statisticians at any tlmo by tho presi
dent, eithor house of congress or tho
director of tho census himself. Ro
cently an entirely new field of this
sort has been opened up and, now
that- tho ico has been broken and
precedents oreated, promises to mako much additional work for tho bureau.
Tho new activity itr tho counting of noses botweon decennial censuses In
rapidly, growing communities, at local expense. Tho first town to feol that
tho census figures of 1910 havo boon so far outdistanced, as to llbol tho com
munity was Tulsa, Okla. Tho immodlato incentive that mado an ofllclal "by
census" desirablo in this southwestern town was tho wish of tho local com
mercial club to havo tho municipality put out a bond issue for improvements
that was larger than tho corporation, according to its 1910 population rating,
could manago. Tho count was completed in six days, and tho bill for ox
pensos, slightly ovor $800, was paid by tho Tulsa Commercial club.
Hardly had tho first special municipal census boon completed when tho
census bureau was called on to begin work on anothor bucIi Job. This timo
tho request was from tho municipal government of Hamtramck, Mich., a town
just outside of Detroit, that has been greatly enlarged by tho location there
of a largo automobilo manufacturing Industry.

Many Varieties of Trees Found in Washington
THE intention of tho government to creato a national arboretum in tho
upper part of Rock Crook park recalls tho apparently little-known fact
that already tho trees that grow in Washington constituto a vast arboretum,
though tho fact that tho trcos aro so
scattered detracts from tho intorest
and value of tho collection.
It has boon said that a fcaturo of
tho national capital and ono which
distinguishes it abovo other cities is
its wealth of follago and multltudo
of treo forma. It is not only in tho
extent of its urban woodland that
Washington stands first among cities,
but also in tho numbor of varieties of
trees. Northern and southern, east
ern and western, lowland, hlihland.
marsh and mountain forms of trees grow in tho streets, parks and gardens.
It is no doubt true that the part of tho city whero tho greatest number of
troo families aro represented is tho park which surrounds tho buildings ol
tho department of agriculture. Tho place whero tho next greatest numbor of
treo forms may bo soon is either tho National Botanic garden or tho capitol
grounds. Thero was an effort, and rather a successful offort, to gather in tho
capitol grounds specimens of most of tho trees of tho United States which
could enduro tho cllmato of this latitude.
A man who knows something about trees may identify within ten min
utes' walk Japanese crabapplo trees, wild black chorry, chlnaborry troos,
choko chorrlcs, sassafrass, dogwoods, black haws, sweet gum and blue gum,
hawthorno, horso chostnut and many members of tho soapberry family. Ono
may look at whito and paper mulberry trees, great laurol, Japan lomon, Nor
way, Bugar, roctf and silver maple, Siberian pea trees, princess trees of the
flgwort family from China nnd Japan, and in tho capitol grounds will bo
'found silver bell trees of tho storax family.

ranging from ?2 to GO cents each.
Tho occasion was tho trfehnlal
salo mado by tho marshal outside tho
