Is 1t Worth The
Price They Pay?

Beautifying the American woman
costs hundreds of millions of dollars
each year. 1t is true (and increas-
ingly true) that very large proper
tion of "that schoolgirl complexion"
is bought from the Five -an-ten" ;;
but even so, the cost is increasing,
year by year, and the amount Of cos
metics used is increasing by carload
lots. A recent writer in Hygeia asks
the pertinent question of the pur-
chaser, sis it worth the price, either
to her pocketbooll or to her skin ?"
The author, DR.. Herman Goodman,
of New York, answers his own ques-
tion by elucidating to what extent
cosmetics are effective and by enum-
Grating many cosmetic follies.
"Skin food" and "nourishing
cream are ineffective as such, he
declares. There is no basis in the
claim that rubbing any cream into
the outside layer of the skin will

Produce Own Beef
Calves For $3.50
Would Have Cost S28.32 Per Head De-
livered From Western Ranges

Can | afford to keep a COW 8
year just to raise a calf? This is a
question ten Ohio beef cattle feed
ers asked themselves year ago, and
then attempted to find the answer by
keeping a set of cost accounts on
their beef cattle herds with the as
sistance of their county agricultural
agents.
The ten men, whose herds ranged
from 10 to SO cows in number, found
that the average feed cost of keeping
COW through the year was $3.50.
The best calf crop was l02 per cent,
and the poorest, SO per cent. About
94 per cent of the calves were raised
to weaving age, at about seven
months, at a feed cost of $3.50
each. One herd of AZ cows raised
48 calves.
Lowest maintenance cost was S9.lO

stover. Highest cost was $22.50 a
COW, almost twice the average feed
cost of the other nine herds.
With the exception of the herd OF
high costs practically all of the cows
were wintered on coarse rough feeds
consisting primarily of corn stover
and some hay or other cheap feed.
Five of the ten farmers used corn
silage to good advantage. If grain
was fed it was for a short period IN
very limited amounts.
Average weight of the calves was
472 pounds, and cattle experts who
looked over the calves estimated
their value at six cents pound, or
S2S.32 head.
Heretofore, the farmers had bought
calves from ranges in southwestern
states.

feed the skin cells. In addition, the
claim that certain lotions removes
pigment spots such as freckles is a
nostrum. Pigment sports are part
of the true skin; coloring matter
such as sun tan, which may be pres
ent in the top layers of the scurf
skin, disappears in winter as this
top skin is shed.
Consider for moment the make
up of the skin There are two lay
ers; the corium, or true skin, and
the epidermis, or scurf skin. The
hair, nails, sweat apparatus, nerves,
blood vessels, muscles, fat glands and
lymphatic glands are essential fea-
lures of the true skin, the corium.
The scurf skin consists Of layers, the
top one being the horny external
layer, which is easily removed. No
chemical device can safely do more
than remove the uppermost horny
dead layer of the epidermis. When
madame or mademoiselle sees the
sheets of dead cells peel off, she is
happy; but that is only forced peel
ing of skin which would remove itself
in its own evolution.
For the same reason, no CONNER
cial hair remover can permanently
remove, because if it were strong
enough to destroy the structures
about the papilla, deep in the skin,
that cause hair growth, it would
completely destroy the skin. The use
of galvanic electricity by means of
needle is slow tedius work, and not
every hair removed ceases to be re-
placed.
No external medicine has yet been
invented to make hair grow. The
only good that any hair restorer af-
fords (and one does not need the
hair restorer to supply that is the
massage which accompanies it. Mas
sage is good because it puts the
blood into circulation in those parts,
but this applies to any part of the
human body.

Nitrogen Is Help
To Apple Trees

For period of more than 20 years
the Horticultural Department of the
Ohio Experiment Station has been
experimenting with the application of
different fertilizers to apple trees.
Of the three elements essential to
plant growth-nitrogen, phosphorus,
and potassium nitrogen has been
found to be the most important.
Two forms of nitrogen are avail
able to fruit growers for use in the
orchard, organic nitrogen and inor-
ganic nitrogen. Organic nitrogen,
such as is found in barnyard manure
and decayed mulch, is an excellent
! fertilizer for trees. In addition to
the nitrogen supplied, these materi-
ais also help to hold moisture as we'll.
The limiting factor in the use of or
ganic forms of nitrogen on trees has
been the difficulty of obtaining
enough of the materials at reason
able cost to supply the needs OF
large commercial orchard. 1t has
also been found that it takes from 3
| to years for organic nitrogen from
manure or mulch to become available
to the trees in sufficient quantity to
show results in yield and growth
equal to those obtained from inor-
ganic chemical nitrogen fertilizer in
one season.
For the commercial orchardist the
annual application of chemical fer
tilizers containing readily available
nitrogen has been found one Of the
easiest, cheapest, and most effective
ways Of keeping up the vigor and
productiveness of fruit trees, accord
ing to |. P. Lewis, of the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station. Where orchards
are growing in grass sod, nitrogen
fertilizers are essential; where grown
in leguminous sod or under cultiva-
ton, results are usually beneficial.
The usual amount of nitrogen fer
tilizer recommended for application
to fruit trees each season is one
fourth pound for each. year Of age
Of the tree. Examples Of high nj
trogen fertilizers commonly used on
fruit trees are sulfate- of ammonia,
nitrate of soda, and cyanamid. These
materials may be sown5 evenly on top
of the ground under the, entire spread
of the branches and for several feet
beyond. From two to four weeks
before bloom is the usual time for
applying fertilizer to fruit trees, de-
pending on the form Of fertilizer
used. Nitrate Of soda is very read
lily available, and results have shown
on the trees in less than two weeks.
Sulfate of ammonia is more gradu-
ally available and should be put on
about four weeks before bloom; cy-
anamid should be applied the previous
fall or very early in the spring. The
object in all cases is to have at least
a portion Of the nitrogen available
and taken up by the tree by the
time of blooming.

What Does the
Average Man Read?

What does the average man read?
Attempting to answer this question
The American Newspaper Publishers
Association canvassed the reading
habits of a representative group.
The results indicated that men aver
age forty-fve minutes a day reading
newspapers, twenty-five minutes a day
on magazines and one-half of the men
average less than one book a month.
In other words men spend twice as
much time on magazines as on books
and five times as much on newspapers.
This ought to be interesting to those
who advertise.
From the standpoint of culture the
radio may be deplored, but in the
present day of better newspapers the
columns contain much that is neither
trivial or ephemeral.-News, Heron
