The Care or Babies.

THE only valuable work we ever saw
on infancy was written by man, Andrew
Combe of Scotland, q close observer. a
sound thinker, and learned physioloeist.
We shall never forget how tempest tossed
we were when we first found ourselves the
happy possessor of male child without
the slightest knowledge of what to do for
his comfort and protection An ignorant
nurse 6dgeted round the room day and
night, sang melancholy ditties, and rocked
vehemently, while the child cried contin-
ually with q loud voice, and we wept,
prayed and philosophical by turns. Rea.
soning on general principles we at last
came to the conclusion that inasmuch as
the child was strong and vigorous, there
must be some mistake on the part of the
nurse that he was not quiet and comforta-
BILE, we fortified ourselves in that opinion
| by faithful reading of what Mr. Combe
had to say on babies in general The re-
suit of this consideration of his opinions
was prompt revolution in the whole
nursery department, and transfer Of pain
| from the baby to the nurse, who stood
| humbled and chagrined as she saw her
time.honored system summarily set aside
the pins, parsgoric, catnip and cradle
driven out-while pure air, sunlight, com.
nonsense walked in. Oh what sigbs
what groans, what doubtful shakings OF
the head, what suppressed laughter and
whisperings in the hall, we heard during
the first few days after the Inauguration
of that dynasty of health, happiness and
rest TO that new born soul
When the three hours cry began that
day, which ancient danes assured us was
a custom that had been faithfully kept by
all the sons of Adam from time immemo.
rial, we ordered the little sufferer to be
promptly stripped to the skin and put in q
warm bath. That brought instant relief,
afler which he was dressed in few light
garments hung on the shoulders, with no
swaddling bands, no pressure on the lungs
or bowels, and laid down to sleep. He
was fed according to Combe) every two
hours by day, and but once during the
night. After that we had peace, though
eternal vigilance on our part was its price,
The custom of pinnlng babies up as tight
as drum is both cruel and absurd. We
asked the antiquarian who tortured oul
first-born in that way-why she did it !
1.-THE bones of young babies are 30 soft
and their flesh so tender" said she, that
they are in constant danger Of dissolution
unless tightly pinioned together" We
soothed her fears by pointing to the fact
that colts and calves, puppies and kittens
all lived and fiourished without bandages
and for the race we said we would make
the experiment on one OF the human
family.
If babies are regularly fed, bathed ant
comfortably dressed, and in pure atmos
phere, they will be quiet and healthy

Browsing Stock.

THOSE who reside In regions where tim.
Der is plentiful and of little or no CONNER
cial value, can carry cattle and sheep
through the winter by supplying them
with browse daily. The trees suitable for
this purpose are sugar maple, beach, bass
wood, and birch, Cattle and sheep viii
leave the best Of hay to feed on the buds
and tender twigs of these trees, and we
have known them to come out In the spring
in fine condition on this food, with an oc.
casional feed of corn in the ear. Where
land is being cleared up, this aid is readily
supplied, as the chopping is usually done in
the winter season, hut where this is not tho
case, let trees he fclled daily and the limbs
chopped down, SO that the stock can reach
the twigs readily, and they will get along
finely, The snt,et way is 30 fell the trees
before the stock is let out OF their snclos
ure, lest being on hand when the trees fall
they should be injured or killed In the

HeaVes In Horses.


In the Modern Horse d actor, by Dadd,
the direct causes of henves, or broken
wind, are imputed to over. exertion and in
digestion. If the general health of the
animal can be improved mitigation OF
the particular ailmCnt will result, and,
possibly, In some cases, cure. The first
point to be obtained Is restoration of the
digestive functions, and for this purpose
aromatic tonics are given, professionally
denominated "tincture of aromatic sui
phuric acid" one draChm, in a pint of
water, night and morning, AT the same
time the horse is subjected to course Of
Alternative medicines, compounded of pow

caraway seeds and balm of Gilead buds,

with the food one ounce of this compound
every night While under the influence
OF this preparation severe exercise or hard
and protracted labor should be avoided (:
but this does not necessarily imply total
inaction. As improvement in condition
manitests itself, the aromatic tincture
may be given more sparingly and soon be
omitted entirely, and the Alternative medi.
cines be diminished half restricting 1t TO
half an ounce, night and morning. Water

There are but two things here which can mar

the rule thai you should only go in squads,

you may be preserved fiom temptation; that

such guards and influences as to be kept from
temptation as much as possible, And that is

strain your conduct, and l am glad to have
this opportunity, in your presence, to explain
the reason of it, and you, yourselves l doubt
not, have felt already its benefcent result
