THE FINGER NAILS

GOOD taste. tact. delicacy Of mind,
~ and other desirable qualities are
seen In nails that are white and pol
ished. soft in texture, pink because
they are transparent, and Of normal
and well proportional length. Nails
that are slender or narrow are gen.
orally q good sign Of intelligence, but
this is frequently combined with q
tendency to dominate others. These
same long. narrow and slender nails
are marked In the person of strong
ambition.
II the nails are red and marked, It
is not good sign, since it means q
nature that will not forgive easily, but
will seek vengeance for wrong, real or
imaginary. Nails that are either very
pale of very dark, show physical weak
ness and disease.
A nail that Is wide and long Is good,
as rule, but may show a disposition
that is too mild and gentle and SELF
denying. In rare cases ore encounters
nails that are crooked, or oblique.
These show deceitful nature, one
that is wise in its own conceit.

Recipe of Sage Tea

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural color
and lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make
it at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui

bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm

can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally and

two, syour hair becomes beautifully

SAYS forest DEPT.
PROPER CUTTING OF CHRISTMAS
TREES ENCOURAGED By U. S.
FORESTRY SERVICE

Large quantities of young Douglas
fir Christmas trees are reported to
have been shipped from Oregon this
year to California and Hawaii. Ore
CONS frs will nus help to make it
seem like Christmas in balmy Homo
lulu. In the United States 5000, 900
Christmas trees are used each year,
and in the eastern states with their
relatively dense population, trees suit
able for use at Christmas are becom-
ing scarce. This year the New Eng
land crop was shut off on account of
a quarantine against the spread of
the gypsy moth. On the Atlantic coast
it is reported that it is becoming
profitable to grow Christmas trees.
Some day we may come to that in the
northwest.
Does the age-long custom of cutting
Christmas trese at the holiday season
constitute a wasteful use of forest
material? This is a question often
asked of Government and State Forest
officials. In December eachlyear the
u. S. Forest Service receives letters
protec ling against the cutting of
young trees fo- this purpose. 1t is
usually pointed out that several mil
lion trees are used each year which
if left to grow to maturity, would pro-
duce a considerable quantity of lum-
Der, and the question is asked if it is
not, therefore, an economic waste tC
use them as Christmas trees.
The Forest Service believes that
this use of young trees is entirely
justified. To what higher use car
trees be put than to bring joy anG
happiness to little children? The
greatest caution, however, should b'
urged against the indiscriminate cut
ting of trees with no regard to the
number or condition of those left. Ma
ture is often very bounteous in thu
number of young trees which spring
up on old cut-over areas or burns

marketing Of native stock this winter,
in which latter event the cornbelt
marketings will be larger than above
indicated.
The movement of feeding stock both
into the cornbelt and into western
areas was earlier this year than last
and the movement during November
showed a sharp falling off. The
weight of feeding lambs was probably
about the same in all areas this year
as last. The indications are that the
supply of fed sheep and lambs for
slaughter coming from areas that US,
ually ship to cornbelt markets dur
ing the next five months will be some
what larger than last year but that
the supply in the areas shipping to
the Pacific Coast markets viii be
smaller. But since there are always
considerable numbers of lambs put
on feed after December 1, if this
number this June 1, may be no larger
than it was last year.

ports skim-milk powder, one-half part
salt Stir up with warm water at the
rate of 1 pound of the meal mixture
to about 6 pounds of water. Increase
gradually as the whole milk is de-
creased, until at the time the calf
is so days old it should be getting
only the Cruel. AT this time liz to
2 pounds Of the meal mixed with water
will constitute a days feed. The total
quantity of milk used is about 800
pounds; if less is fed the calves are
likely to be unthrifty.
The time at which calves can be
put On milk substitutes alone, say
department dairymen, depends upon
the same factors as in the use of sep
arated milk, namely, the breed, de-
velopment, and vigor of the calves, etc.
1t is hardly safe, as a rule, even with
the most vigorous ones, to attempt
to put them on milk substitutes alone
within one month after birth; and
with calves below normal in vigoT
some milk for two months or more
may be necessary to raise them.
The department suggests, as a guide
for feeding the above substitute to
large, vigorous calves, the following
schedule: First 10 days, 10 pounds
of whole milk daily; second 10 days
8 pounds of milk and GA pounds OF
meal linked up in 6 times it's weight
of warm water); third 10 days, {
pounds milk and 0.8 pound meal
fourth 10 days, 4 pounds milk and L.
pounds meal; fifth 10 days, 2 pound:
milk, 2 pounds meal and no milk
Smaller and less vigorous calves
should be fed somewhat less, and thu
milk feeding should be continued
little longer. In any event, a tota
of 800 pounds of milk should be suf
ficient. Grain and roughage shoul'
be fed with milk substitutes the sam,
as with separated milk.
Whole milk is the best food for
calf; skim milk ranks second. Calve
fed the substitute as stated abOv
have been subject to no more digestiv
troubles than the skim milk fed calve
and the gains in weight have not bee
materially less.

Upcond growth of this kind, the cutting
Of Christmas trees can be made to
Mrve as an actual benefit if made
i1 the nature of a thinning rather
, han a clean cutting.
On land which will soon be put to
some other use than growing timber,
such as farming or settlement, the
situation is different, On such land,
trees will probably be cut before
reaching maturity in any event, and
it is probable that their value when
cut for Christmas trees is greater
than at any subsequent period. Under
these conditions, it is not of much i'm
p%ortance whether all or only part are
cut.
Automobiles and good roads are
contributing heavily to the despoiling
of shrubbery along our routes of
travel. 1t has become the practice
for people to drive out and cut their
own Christmas trees, and this is often
done without proper regard for growth
of trees along the roadways.
