The hot weather of this season of

A the liven of infants and young chit
dren not only bcacued of the depress
ing effect of high temperature in gen
oral but especially because It is hard
er to preserve nil articles ot food es
pecially cows milk In hot weather
For this reason It is very Impor
tant that cows milk used for feed
ing babies should be tho purest
and freshest that can be had Dur
ing tho hot weather Ice is ab
solutely necessary for the preserva
lion ot milk where a cool spring
house Is not available and no milk
should be fed to a baby which Is not

The Natural Food
In practically all cases tho mother
can and should nurso her own baby
Ureastmllk Is the natural food for
tho newborn baby No other food can

die to one that Is breastfed
Immediately after birth do not use
any kind of artificial food or teas fur
tho baby while waiting for tho breast
a milk to come Put tho baby to tbo
breast every four hours and glvo no
thing else but water that has been I
boiled Tho new baby needs nothing i
I 0by Made
I else and will not starve After the
milk comes under no circumstances
I
should the baby nurse oftoner than
every two hours during the day and
two or three times at night
About Crying
I Do not nurso tho baby whenever it
cries A moderate amount of crying
helps to develop the lungs and every
baby should cry during tho day Ba
bies who are nursed Irregularly nr
whenever they cry practically always
Gt Indignation and then cry harder
from the pain Nurse regularly anil
the baby will soon team to e II t
It nursing at the proper time Give

is gaining weight and never do so ex
cept by advice of your doctor Do not
follow tho advice of friends or neigh

mains well but after a tlmo stops
I gaining weight do not think that your
I milk Is of no value but consult your

tles to help you out
Cleanliness when Bottle Is used
If It becomes necessary to feed tho
baby either entirely or only In part
upon tho bottle remember that ab
solute cleanliness Is necessary in all
details of tho feeding Because some
babies have lived through filth is no
argument that yours will As soon as
a bottle Is finished It should be thor
oughly washed with cold water then
leaned with hot water and borax J
teaspoonful to a pint ot water and
lIt aside in c sunny place for fur
ther cleansing before using again
If you have only a row bottles and it
becomes necessary to use the jamo

the water before putting fresh food
Into it Never let the baby nurse from
tho remains of a bottle which ho has
not finished Take It away from the

FLIES GO FROM FILTH AND
FEVER TO FOOD
Flies are disease carriers They live and breed in all kinds of
filth Flies infect food and liquids by germladen feet
Each female fly can lay 120 eggs at one time
Flies should be kept out of dwellings I
The presence of flies Is a direct evidence of careless housekeeping and 1
the existence of filth In some form about the house or premises
Look first to the stables and privies That is where most of the
flies breed Screen manure plies and screen or disinfect the outhouses
and there will be less cause for screening the dwelling
Remember that when and where absolute cleanliness prevails there V
will be no flies
Look dally after the garbage cans See that they are carefully sprln i
kled with a disinfectant >
Look carefully after the cuspidors they require constant attention
They should always contain a disinfectant
Files feast on tuberculous sputum and hover around cuspidor The
pecks of flies contain live tubercle badlliafter they have eaten tuhercu
Ions sputum showing that the bacilli will pass through the digestive
tract of the fly In an active Infective state i
Files carry on their mouths and on their legs disease germs on
which they have recently fed and then crawl over food infecting It
Keep flies from the SICK especially those III with communicable or
contagious diseases
Dont forget that flies will carry the bacilli of typhoid fever to the
food In the kitchen and diningroom This Is no conjecture TheSpan
ish American War proved this fact
The great secret of how to get rid of isles Is CLEANLINESS
Screen all food
Keep receptacles for garbage carefully covered and the cans cleaned
or sprinkled with oil lime or some good disinfectant
Cover food after a meal
Screen all windows and doors especially the kitchen and diningroom
Dont forget If you see flies that their breeding place is nearby It
may be behind the door under the window or in the cuspidor
If there Is no dirt and filth there will be no flies
If there is a nuisance In the neighborhood write at once to the Health
Department
If you live In a city or town force the government to do its duty
to see that the streets and alleys are clean that the owners of groceries
and restaurants protect vegetables and fruit from flies and throw no
peelings or decaying substances upon the sidewalks streets or back yards
These will harbor fly eggs and fly maggots See that the health officer
inspects your home and that of alt your neighbors
It wont do you much good to be clean unless your neighbor is
How to Kill Flies
To clear a room of tiles carbolic acid may be used as follows Heat
a shovel or any similar article and drop thereon 20 drops of carbolic acid
The vapor kills the flies
A cheap and perfectly reliable fly poison one which is not dangerous
to human life Is bichromate of potash in solution Dissolve one dram
which can be bought at any drug store In two ounces of water and add a
little sugar lut some of this solution in shallow dishes and distribute
them about the house
Sticky fly paper traps and liquid poisons are among the things to
use In killing flies but the latest cheapest and best Is a solution of for
maldehyde in water A spoonful of this liquid put into a quarter of a
pint of water and exposed in the room will be enough to kill all the flies
To quickly clear the room where there are many flies burn pyrethum
powder in the room This stupefies the flies when they may be swept up
and burned
crib pour out the milk and clean atI
once Stale milk curds sticking to tho 1
inside of the bottle become poisonous I
after a few hours and may contamin 1
ate fresh milk coming in contact with
them It Is better and easier to have
as many bottles as the dally num
ber of feedings BO that all can be
boiled together before the food is pre
pared In the morning
Keep Nipple Clean
Tho care of tho nipples is very
important Tho simpler the safer Do i
not use complicated nipples especially
do not use a bottle with a long rub j
ber tube It Is Impossible to keep It
clean and it will certainly cause bowel
trouble After a bottle is finished tho
nipple should be removed at once j
turned inside out over the finger and
scrubbed with cold water and a i
brush kept only for this purpose
After uso always boll the brush
Tho cleaned nipple should be kept tn
fresh borax water 1 teaspoonful to
111 pint of water in a covered glass
I Rinse the nipple In boiling water Iw j
I fore using It Do not put the nlpplo
I Into your own mouth to find out whe
ther the milk is warm enough Let
a few drops fall on your wrist If
It Is too hot for your wrist it is
too hot for the babys mouth
Preparation of Food
No general instructions can be
given about the preparation of milk
mixture for your baby Each baby I
needs a combination suited to his
digestion The nilxtufn upon which I
tome other baby is thriving may be
too strong or too weak for your boI
Let your doctor tell you how to mix
the food It it Is necssaruy to use
cream do not buy it it is likely 11110I
be stale but get It by pouring off
half a pint from tho top of a quart i
bottle of milk after cleaning tho I
mouth of tho bottle
During tho summer It is usual to
bring tho babys food to a scald af
ter It Is prepared It should then bo
0
poured Into tho clean bottles cork
ed with baked otuan cotton and kept I
next to tho Ico until needed Bo sure
not to heat a bottlo when you 5UI0I
bed and keep it in bed until nursing
time because you do not want to uo I
I
to tho Ico box for it and heat it wbm
the baby needs it This is certain toI
make tho baby sick I
In Case of Constipation I
If a bottlefed baby is constipated i
give one or two teaspoonfuls ot cad I
tor oil If this docs not relieve him j
himI
within four hours then consult your
doctor At this time he will bo nblo I
I to prevent a serious summer com
Plaint with which your baby is threat I
oned If thero Is any diarrhoea stop
f
the milk at once give nothing but
pure water which has been boiled
and call the doctor It may not bo
too late
Do not begin milk feeding again
until the doctor orders It Babies c
practically never starve but they aro
frequently killed by being fed after
illness has gone Every drop of milk
that goes into a babys mouth after
bowel trouble begins simply adds to
the poison already there Serious or
fatal Illness can be caused by keep 4
Ing up milk feeding after the bowels
become disordered A bottlefed baby
should not vomit If its food is pure I
unless It is fed too much at a time
Vomiting is usually a sign of appro
aching illness either one of the ser
lous diseases of childhood or more
commonly In hot weather of summer
diarrhoea Vomiting due to this causoI
may be tho first sign of trouble If
vomiting Is repeated stop feeding
milk give water which has been boil
ed cool or at tho temperature at
which tho milk is given and consult
your doctor at once
As to Clothing
Do not put too much clothing on
the baby in tho summer During the
hottest weather a thin loose dress
and a diaper are enough for day and
night Never uso tight waist bands
Petticoats and skirts should bo sup
ported by straps over the shoulders
Bathe tho baby every day When it
is very hot a quick sponging all over
later In tho day will give it com
fort and make its sleep better
1fort The Part of Fresh Air
Fresh air is as important for the
babys health as fresh food During
the summer keep the baby out of doors
as much as possible and keep It out
of tho kitchen They frequently get
sunstruck from too much heat in
doors
Skin Diseases
If tho baby has an eruption or break
lug out on tho skin consult tho doc
tor Every rash Is not prickly heat
lit may be homo serious disease like
scarlet fever smallpox or ctilckenpox

I INTENSIVE FAMING
Interesting Suggestions to Mountain Farmers to Meet
Changed Conditions
Condtions Changing
For many years the mountain peo
ple have made a living from the sale
of timber and bark but there are now
many sections of the mountains where
this Is a thing of the past
Many of these people then who
own large farms arc now confronted
with the Berlous question How are we
to make a living on these mountain
farms
Ranchmen losing in West
During the past few years we have
read of Immense territories in the
western plains being put under wa
ter and sold to settlers thus destroy
ing the best part of the public domain
formerly used by western ranchmen
During the past winter reports came
to us from the western ranches re
counting enormous losses of stock
from the severe storms and now the
papers report serious losses from
drouth
Hint to the Mountain Farmer
All of there things tend to drive
out the stock business from the
western plains And hero Is a hint
to the mountain farmer a hint that
this is the time for hfm to clear up
his mountain land burn the brush I
and after 2 or 3 good rains seed I
his pasture land to grasses and cloI
er adapted to permanent pasture
build good fences dividing the pas
ture into throe fields so the flocks
can be changed from one field to
another every two weeks and
see to It that by Nov 15 he has a
Orange County He was anxious for
their aid In developing the deposits I
of Iron in that region In 1716 with I
a company of followers he reached
the summit of the Blue Ridge and
saw the valley of the Shenandoah and
the Alleghanies beyond
It was in this valley that the west
ward movement began and the coun I
ties of Augusta and Fredrick were
organized The population was Scotch
Irish and German coming down from
the colonies In the north in response
to liberal promises of land for those
who would settle It was a fine po j
pulation religious liberty loving and
fond of education I
The Germans were the Presbyterian
branch of that race and so affiliated
well They were perhaps the best I
farmers of our colonial population
There is an old weather beaten tomb 1
stone In the collection here on which
is inscribed the name of Catarlna DelI
erlln and the date of her death in
tho wilderness
Tho Scotch Irish naturally took
to the hilly country and were fit
ted by their training In the old world
to become the cutting edge of the
westward movement They recogniz
ed no authority above the Almighty
They were Industrious and peaceful
Many of their leaders were men of
University training and free schools
wero established in the wilderness
From the Shenandoah valley they
crossed Into the valley of the Now
River In West Virginia in what now
Is the county of Mercer Gradually
they vorked their way along the
river valley southward until they
occupied the highlands as far as the
Carolinas and across into Kentucky
Even before the Revolution popula
tlon from the Eastern section along
the coast began to mingle with them
and after the Revolution the English
blood of Virginia and other colonies
was as plentiful as the Scotch Irish
I I
pasture field with heavy growth of
fall feed to turn his flocks upon
thus making a short time for feed
ing his stock r
stockKind
Kind of Sheep to buy
IHaving done this the farmer I
should buy all the good moun
I taln ewes ho can Then If his flock
Is small he should join with a neigh
I bor and buy a registered buck If a
mutton breed Is preferred they should
buy a Dorset Horn or Hampshire
Down It wool is desired a Delane
Merino buck that will shear not less
than 25 pounds of wool Thus by fol
lowing up in one line of breeding a
floe flock can soon be established
that will pbrve a pleasant and profit
able business especially adapted to
present conditions In the mountains
No man who is In good health
need hesitate to bring this to pass If
he has land adapted to the business
and most mountain farms are well ad
apted to It
IThree Examples
Three farmers In Tazwcll County
Virginia have proved this to be per
fectly practical and profitable They
have seen their farms of several hun
dred acres improved by the golden
I hoot stock from a aluo of 5 per
acre to a value of 25 per acre The
Iacre
government has sent expert men
I to write up their process of develop
Ito
ing their lands and great Interest is
being taken In this sensible develop
ment of a splendid industry for the
mountain people
