Death In the Nursing Bottle.

In city like ours, where the death rate
at the present season averages 700 to S0t
per week, mostly children, every humane
person feels the necessity OF increased
vigilance to combat every evil which tends
10 increase "the slaughter Of the limo
cents" High temperature is one of the
causes which we are powerless to combat
Dirty streets and filthy houses we mus
leave 10 the Board Of Health. Poverty OF
the parents, which prevents their provid
ing suitable food and medicine for theii
little ones, is another cause Of our great
infantile mortality, against which we can
and ought 10 do something. But Ignorance
is another cause, too often overlooked
against which we are not powerless II we
organize for action. The daily papert
warn old and young against the dangers
OF unripe fruit and stale watermelons; but
people will indulge, and we must allow
the American citizen, however young, to
exercise his inalienable right 10 take his
own life In this way.
But there Is another prolific source OF
infant mortality to which we wish now 10
direct special attention, namely the patent
nursing bottle. II consists of rubber
tube, one end of which is held in the
child's mouth; the other end, passing
through cork, is attached 10 glass rod
which descends to the bottom Of bottle
Of so-called milk. We might write col
umn on the dangers that reside in the

Good Advice.

The following good advice is from an
address delivered before the Bucks County
Pa.) Agricultural Society by Thomas
Shellcross:
" Economical farming implies several
conditions. We must raise greater crops
per acre. 1t takes no longer to cultivate
good crop than poor one. We must
have the most improved implements. Ma
chinery is cheaper than labor. A man
with corn-plow can do double the work
he could with cultivator, and do it bet
ter. A good washing-machine materially
lightens the cares of the household. The
sewing-machine might be great labor
saving machine, but since its introduction
there are so many useless seams made that
the labors of the women do not seem to be
made any lighter. | remember once see
ing garment with nineteen tucks.
"There is no economy in purchasing
halfworn implements They will be con.
tinually out of order. The first wear is
always the best.
PAY as you go. A man with cash in
his hand can always purchase to much
better advantage than he who expects a
credit. have seen corn bring $1.10 per
bushel on credit of nine months when
the market price was only eighty five
cents.
1.-THE farmer must keep we'll posted. II
is great matter of economy that he be
well supplied with papers and magazines.
Not only his county paper, which tells
him of affairs about home, but also one OF
the great dailies, which lets him look right
out into the world. At least one of the
journals devoted to agriculture should find
access to his home. One or two hints
picked up through the year will amply re.
pay the cost Of subscription.
"There is economy in giving the chill
dren good education We know too lit
tie of the why's and wherefores connected
with our calling. We work too much in
the dark. To get the best possible results
from our land and fertilizers, how impor-
ant that we should understand their con-
stituents and their adaptability to certain
crops. AS soon as by improved intellectu-
al power man begins to discover and APP
ply the laws of nature, a vast accession is
made TO the power of human productive
ness. If this be so. we see how groundless
is the opinion that education and science
are without practical benefit, and that
philosophers and students are merely a
useless burden on the community, since IL
is knowledge and its application which
has given us all the advantages which we
possess over savages."
Knoxville journal. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1874-1986, 1875-09-16

A great many farmers allow much of
the manurial material to be wasted. On
many farms during the busy summer sea-
son the cleanings of the pig-sty and
stables and the various refuse matters ac-
cumulating in the rear of ones premises
are suffered to be exposed to the sun,
wind and rain, both wasting their most
valuable properties and filling the air
with a noisome stencil We have often
urged the gathering up and preservation
of all fertilizing materials, such as bones,
chips, weeds, old plaster and lime, kitch-
en- Stops, ETC., and we now repeat the sug-
gestion. Let all these things speedily
find their way to the compost-heap. If
on the north side of the barn ii will be
better off than on the south If covered it
will be better off still. Such covering
can be made without much trouble or ex-
pense. Set in the ground six, eight or
more posts, according to the expected size
of your heap, and throw over them shed
roof of boards or slabs, sloping to the
south. Board up the shanty on three
sides, leaving the north open. Now see
TO it that generous pile of muck, or its
equivalent, is deposited just outside OF
this shed, and you will be ready for opera
tons. Wheel in manure from all quar-
tiers as fast as it accumulates, and lay it
in rows or heaps the whole length OF
the shed, treading it down firmly and
covering il with successive layers ofmuck.
In this way the manure will be preserved
from the action of the elements, and the
volatile gases which the summer heat so
rapidly evolves will be absorbed and
saved If anyone thinks this won't pay
let him try it and see. Let every tiller of
the soil take good care of the manure
heap during the summer.-N. Y. Herald.

The Pharmaceutical Journal says: If
the only good that boy ever did about
the farm was to repair the pump, hang

fle the saw and hang the grindstone, and
be did these things well, obviously the
farm is not the place for him-but a ma
chine shop is. If boy will walk half

Dhear political speech; if he takes
time from play to attend trials before a
Justice of the Peace, and sits up half the

the world more good if you put law
book and not a manure-fork into his hand.

hedoes in hoeIng potatoes and cutting
grain in fair weather, give him chance

empoyments. Again, if a boy is skIllful
in SHINING small animals and stuffing
small birds; If he practiced making pills

aieeth from the jaws of dead horses with
pincers when he got older; if he read
physiology while his brothers are deep in
Robinson Crusoe," he will be far more
likely to succeed with lancet than with

Carving.

II is only of late years that the duty Of
carving has fallen to the lot of the master
Of the house. The work of dismembering
afowl or reducing roast to slices before
our time was always performed by the
mistress of the establishment We learn
from the letters of Lady Mary Wortley
Montagu that century ago there were In
England professed carving masters, who
taught young ladies the art scientifically.
This task must have required no small
share of bodily strength, for the lady was
not only to inyite--that is, urge and tease
her guests to eat more than human tllroats
could conveniently swallow, out TO carve
every dish when chosen with her own hands.
The greater the lady, the more indispensa-
bic the duty. Each Joint in its turn was car
ried up to be operated upon by her, and
by her alone, since the peers and knights
on either hand were so far from being
bound TO offer their assistance that the
very master of the house posted opposite
to her, might not act as her croupier. His
department was to push the bottle after
dinner. AS for the crowd of guests, the
most inconsiderable among them--the
cnrate, or subaltern, or 'Squire's younger
brother--if suffered through her neglect
TO help himself to slice of mutton placed
before him, would have ehewed it in bit
terness, and gone home an affronted man,
halfinclined to give wrong vote at the
next election. Lady Montagu said she
took lessons three times week, that she
might be perfect in the art on such occa-
sions as she was required to preside at
her fathers table. In order to perform
her duties successfully she was obliged to
eat her own dinner alone an hour or two
beforehand
The mistress Of house at this point
occupied not only very important, but
avery laborious, position. Ii must be
mentioned that the profusion of provis-
Ions in the bapquets of the time bordered
upon barbarous magnificence, compared
70 the elegant modes of preparing dishes
10 the present day, and called for dining
halls and kitchens of sufficient dimen-
sions 10 avoid the confusion that must
otherwise have occurred Hence the SUI
perintendence of household was a labor
OF great extent and responsibility. Ii
was held that a woman had no right to
enter the estate OF fnatrimony unless pos
sessed Of good knowledge of cookery.

milk, unless SPECIAL care has been taken
to obtain it fresh or by suitably diluting
pure condensed milk But this danger is
well known, and our business at present
is with the bottle, or rather its dirty tube,
which should never be used more than
once, then thrown away and new one
bought.
Even when new, these white tubes, i'm
pregnated as they are with oxide OF zinc,
are not unobjectionable; far worse are
they when saturated with sour milk, germs
of putrefaction, decay and disease. Some
of these childmurdering Yankee inven-
tions have reached Berlin, and have called
forth the following from practicing ply
stefan of that city:
"The supposed advantage of these bot
ties consists in this, that they can be
placed beside the infant in bed, while
other bottles must be held in the hand all
| tie time. What sensible mother or nurse
| would have a child with bottle without
watching il? The danger Of the bottle
consists in this. that it is absolutely inn
possible to cleanse it, When sucked on,
| little particles of milk become attached to
the tube and cork; these curdle and soon
turn sour LII some of this deposit be
placed under microscope we see innumer'
able bacteria, organic beings which indi-
cate decomposition and decay. AT every
meal the child draws in thousands os these
germs. The decomposition process acts
| upon what it finds in the mouth, Tsopha-
gus and stomach; and the result is diar-
rhea, cholera iafdntan, etc. 1 VIII
here expressly remark that the usual
method ofplacing the apparatus in water, or
merely rinsing it out with stream OF
water is in no way sufficient. Some deal
ers sell a suitable little wire brush with
the bottle, but even this does not answer
the purpose, for the apparatus is not clean
by long way after drawing the brush
through ii several times; and who will
take the trouble TO clean it so thoroughly
eight or ten times a day. How much
time it would required Another disad-
vantage is that the bottle is alright, and
partial vacuum is formed, which rem
ders sucking so difficult as to exhaust the
child, and 1t stops before its hunger is
satisfied Hence, parents, we who are
compelled to feed your children with a
bottle, throw away this apparatus, which
can only bring destruction upon your
children, and either select bottle with
glass mouthpiece, which is filled from be-
low, or take a large rubber mouthpiece,
which is perforated by small hole and
can be drawn directly over the neck OF the
glass bottle This large mouthpiece or
nipple can readily be turned inside ont and
thoroughly cleaned and rubbed with dry
salt" Scientific Amertcan.
