Thursday in History.

The Dominion of Canada which
comprises an area of nearly
three and a half million square
miles, passed under control of
Great Britain colonies in 1776 and
still remains a British colony, a
federal dependency with represen
.tative and responsible govern
ment. The executive power
comprises the king, the senate
and the house of commons. Sen
ators are appointed by the crown
while members Of the house of
commons are chosen by the peo-
pie. Legislative powers are linn
tied to certain subjects of dOmin-
ion or national import as set forth
in the written constitution.
All of the provinces except
Prince Edward Island possess a
very complete system of munich
pal government. In each there
is a lieutenant ex-governor APP
pointed by the governor general
for a term of five years, and aid
ed by an executive council of not
more than eight members who
have seats in the province leg
islature. In Ontario and the
Northwest territories widows
and unmarried women, when tax
ed, can vote at municipal elect
ions; in Manitoba and British
Columbia, all women who are
taxed in their own rights can
vote at such elections.

handled as to yield perpetual supply
Of material. harvested at regular in.
tervals.
In order to establish such a system
of management. It is necessary to
know for each area logged how soon
1t is practicable to return for second
cut. and the yield which can be expect
ed at that time; and in order to do
this, 1t is necessary to determine how
fast trees of different ages grow after
tie mature timber has been removed
These data will be secured by periodic
measurements of all trees on typical
cut-over areas on different forests In
Arizona and New Mexico. During the
present season experiments to deter
mine the influence Of thinning upon
the rate of growth and the quality OF
timber produced by the remaining
trees will be initiated.
Attention is also being given to the
Improvement Of the range. An at
tempt will be made to introduce valu'
able forage plants on portions OF the
range on which the native vegetation
Is sparse or Of an inferior quality.
Experimental sowings Of Kentucky
bluegrass, timothy, red top and bronze
grass have already been made, and
other forage plants will be tested from
time to time. A collection is being
made Of all herbs, shrubs and trees
found on the national forests, together
with notes on their forage or wood
producing value. ''The total cut OF ma
tional forest timber during the year
was nearly 460,0O0,000 board feet. Of
which over 100000 900 feet were given
away under free-use permits" says
the secretary Of agriculture in his last
annual report, which has just been
made. The timber acquired under free
use permits was used by settlers,
schools and churches within the for
ests. The secretary says that the re-
ceipts from timber sales were about
S70O, 900, and continues:
Free use Of timber was heaviest IN
Idaho. with over 100000 board feet,
followed by Montana, Colorado. Utah
and New Mexico, with amounts
ranging from nearly 100000 to less
than 10 ,OOO,0 feet. California, Wyo'
ming and Oregon had each a free-use
cut Of between 100000 and 1000. 900
feet. The remaining national forest
states follow with lesser amounts.
"of the timber cut under sales, Mon
tana furnished nearly s6,0O0.oOO feet,
or "a per cent; Colorado 44,OOO,O 900
feet, or Is per cent; California, 81
600 900 feet, or IL per cent, and Idaho,
81, OOO, 900 fet, or 10 per cent These
amounts correspond to the following
percentages Of the estimated stand Of
national forest timber in each state:
For Montana, threetenths Of one per
cent: for Colorado, four-tenths Of one
per cent; for California, four one
hundredths of one per cent; for Ida-
no. one-tenth Of one per cent. In other
words, the cutting Is far within the
growth capacity Of the forests"

TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first It seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel on leaving the un-
tlerneath skin red as though 1t were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top Of her
head there appeared heavy scab a
quarter Of an inch thick. It was aw-
full to see SO small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
Softened the scab and 1t came on. On.
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
q new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
OF and heal underneath. Now the
baby Is four months old. She is a fine
picture of a fat little baby and all is
wen. We only used one cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes Of Cutlcura oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent. II people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer.

HE government Is now carrying
on investigative work at regu-
lar forest experiment stations
similar to the agricultural ex-
pertinent stations in the diner
ent states. The first forest ex-
pertinent station created in this coun-
try was the Coconino experiment sta
ton at Flagstaff, Ariz., established last
summer. Investigations covering many
phases Of forestry in the southwest
have already been undertaken at this
station. The second forest experiment
station has been established this year
on Pixies Peak. Colorado.
The need for such stations becomes
apparent when the long time neces-
sary for handling forst experiments Is
considered. In agricultural expert
ments definite results can usually be
obtained in one or at most a few
years; in forestry, because Of the long
time required for trees to develop,
scores of years are often required to
complete a single experiment.
All experimental work is conducted
under the direction Of men who have
had thorough training in technical
and practical forestry. Every ex-
pertinent has a direct bearing upon
some problem which vitality concerns
the management Of the forest. Every
experiment will be pursued until con-
elusive results are obtained, and every
man conducting investigative work
will be given an opportunity to put his
recommendations to the test in actual
field work. Under this system every
new plan can be thoroughly tried be-
fore being put into practice on a large
scale, and thus the injury resulting
from mistaken practices can be mini
mized.
The greatest technical problem
which now confronts the forester in
handling the great pine forests Of
Arizona and New Mexico is that Of
establishing a new stand Of trees to
replace the old timber which is cut
on. This was the first problem I'M
dertaken by the Coconino experiment
station. Much valuable information
regarding the factors influencing ma
tural reproduction has already been
secured, but many years Of systematic
study viii be required to fully solve
the problem. The feasibility Of artih-
cial regeneration by planting and SOW
ing Is also being tested. The latter
experiments, for the sake Of economy,
are being conducted on the smallest
scale which will insure reliable re-
suits applicable to general conditions.
The plans for the near future pro

Tests win be made of trees INTRO

view OF finding other species adapted
to planting in this region, which are
superior to the native trees.
One important problem which viii
occupy much attention at the expert
ment station for q number OF years
a the determination Of the rate OF
