BABIES IN MlDSUMNER.
Some Hints as 10 the Means Of Keep
ing the Little Things Out or Misery.
Cincinnati Enquirer.


1t is pretty big job to pilot baby
through summers campaign. A
prominent Cincinnati physician being
interviewed the other day. expressed
the opinion that baby should never
be given milk save from the breast Of
its mother, or, if that be impossible,
from the breast of foster-mother. He
stated that so many of the dairy cows
now. a-days are consumptive or other
wise diseased that, in the first place,
their milk, even if unadulterated, is
poisonous. Again, he said that the
cows milk is jolted for hours in hot
weather before it is delivered to con
sumers, and thus is literally churned.
Thus it is eminently unfit for the use of
infants. The conduct of mothers, who
nurse their children from the breast
was referred to. Frequently it is the
case that mothers become overheated
and wrought up over the washtub and
other household duties, and their milk
then is unfit for child to drink. A
baby's stomach is irritable and tender.
If it is overloaded with milk it becomes
source of pain, just rs a cinder does
when 1t flies into persons eye. Re
move the cinder and relief follows.
The baby throws up the milk and the
pain ceases, unless it be hot weather,
when it goes oil through the bowels and
sickness results. So it is with solid
food, only in a more pronounced de-
gree. Therefore solid food should not
be given an infant until it is able to
masticate its food. Especially starch
food, such as potatoes, etc, should be
avoided One great mistake mothers
make is TO suckle their chilnren every
time they cry. That is not right.
They ought not to give them the breast
oftener than once in two hours at first,
and this interval ought to be length.
ened to three hours after while. Dur
| ing the night they should not suckle
them more frequently than once. The
proper thing to do is to give them n
drink of water. The little things are
oftener thirsty than hungry. The doc
tor said that ice should be given the
| little ones in abundance while they are
teething. 1t relieves and cools the hot.
inhamed gums, and the baby does not
swallow enough ice water to hurt it,
because it wastes the greater part of it.
The use of tlannels on babies all
through the summer was adimadverted
upon severely. The doctor declared
that children should be clad to suit the
weather. Such temperature as the
last week has proved to be required the
use of fannels, but in very warm
weather the infants ought to be allsw-
ed about one garment, and that a
pretty light one.

PICKLES are far better home made.
The prejudice existing against manu-
featured pickles has come TO be univer-
sal, and not without reason. Yet even
homemade varieties are not without
objections, particularly those in which
alum has been used 10 green them.
Too much care cannot be exercised in
the use of brass kettles, or tin or cop
per receptacles in the making of pick
les. A beautiful green color is impart-
ed to the pickles, so also is poisonous
substance, ruinous to the health of
those who consume them.
Pickles cannot be boiled long with
out becoming soft and unfit for use.
They are usually sufficiently cooked
by pouring boiling vinegar over them,
although sweet pickles will bear more
heating than this, and receive no harm.
Small cucumbers are the best for
pickles. Mixed pickles, picalilli, Chut-
ney chow chow, and others OF like
fery nature, ought to be eaten with
the greatest moderation, if at all.
Pickles ought to be kept covered
with vinegar, and if at any time they
begin to grow mouldy, boil up the vim
egar and add spice to them.
Sweet flag, horse-radish root, and
mustard are all good preservatives OF
pickle, and can be added to the jars at
any time during the season, whenever
the vinegar is scalded.

Bee. Keeping and Forage.

DR.. j. p. H. Brown, of Georgia, in
reply TO inquiries pertaining to bee
keeping answers through an eastern
journal as follows:
Is bee keeping profitable? 1t is when
properly attended; and pays larger
dividend upon the capital than almost
any other of the rural industries.
Even in those localities where there
are poor markets for honey, it pays to
keep bees in order to secure supply
for family use. Honey can be profit.

What are the requisites for SUGGEST
A thorough knowledge of the natural
history of the honey-bee, and of its
proper mode of management together
with full acquaintance with the
method Of using improved apiarian
implements. Such information can he
obtained by reading and studying bee
books and periodicals, in connection
with practical experience in managing
the hive There is still another prime
factor requisite for success. 1t is an
abundance of honey producing plants.

never be lost sight of in successful bee.

Who shall keep bees? These only
who have taste for the business and
sufficient industry and energy, to
make an application of the requisite
knowledge just at the right time.

Pinchjng in OF Melons.

A practical gardener makes the fol-
lowing statement; Last year, as a
test of a frequent practice among
growers of melons and squashes,
pinched the ends of the LONG main
shoots of the melons, squashes and Gu
cumbeIs, and left some to run at their
own will. One squash plant sent out
q single stem reaching more than forty
feet, but did not bear any fruit. An.
other plant was pinched until it formed
a compact mass Of intermingling side
shoots eight feet square and it bore
sixteen sqashes. The present year 3
musk. melon plant thus pinched in
covered the space allotted to it, and it
set tweEty-three specimens of fruit;
the most Of them were pinched Off.
The pinching causes many lateral
branches, which latter produce the fe-
male or fertile blossoms, while the
main vines produce only the male
blossoms. The difference in favor Of
the yield Of an acre of melons treated
by this pinching process may easily
amount to 100 barrels"

A Remarkable Dress.

Yellow brocade formed the principal
fabric of a remarkable dress lately seen
in London. The yellow was that of the
primrose. The bodice opened over a
waist coat of rich dark brown velvet
embroidered with primroses in single
flowers, without any leaves, but rather
aggressive stalks, unnaturally prim and
stiff. Otherwise the dress was perfect.
The brocade skirt opened over tablier
of brown velvet embroidered like the
wais,coat, and either side of both ia
bier and waistcoat some lovely old lace
was arranged in loose and graceful
folds, with punches of primroses tucked
into them here and there. The back
was made with short train, the end
of which was mass of rutiled lace and
punches of primroses; the stalks of
these being made limp, they fell in
a thick Hower-lringe over the lace and
brocade.

A Good Sheep Dog.

London Field: The large, rough, tail
less sheep dog is more often met with
in the southern countries than in the
north, and for bullock driving they are
excellent, being very active, and, for a
drove of bullocks on sandy road in
summer time, they have a way of Just
giving the poor beast a gentle grip on
the heel and quietly slipping away,
thus impartlng a little more vigor into
the slow pace the tired beasts had got
into. My favorite old dog Bob was a
strong, muscular fellow, and many a
feat of strength he has been the hero
of-holding sheep down by the ear,
and tackling rough calf that would
not go the way Bob wanted him to do.
The district in which we lived was
bounded on one side by the park of a
noble lord, and, as is often the case, the
fallow deer would occasionally slip out
of the small gate Lett partly open by
foot-people. On one occasion in the
spring of the year, two deer were out
hiding on the common in the furze and
heath; the keepers were out trying to
get them in by driving. Bob and his
master were passing over the common
at the time, and the keepers set Bob to
run after a buck that they had just
started from his hiding place. Bob,
ready for the race, was off like rock
ct, his curly, wide behind looking like
fleece of wool shooting along. They
ran and coursed, and were lost sight of,
and when we came round bend in
the road, where they were, Bob bad
fixed the buck on the side of the neck,
behind the ear, and held him fast till
the keepers st cured him.

CASH CLAIMS OF THE AssAssINs' COUNSEL.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Still more of
the assassin of Garfield. Now come
the claims of counsel for the defense,
and the jurors for the increase per
diem. Among these claims is the bill
of Charlie Reed, who zsalously defend
cd the prisoner to tho last, amounting
to 5000 This bill is presented in the
shape of an amendment offered in the
senate to the sundry civil appropria.
ton bill, and III all probability will fail
to pass. Now comes Scoville for his
pay. His claim, however, is in nm EN-.
bryotic state and takes the form
OF long petition to congress, which
was presented to the house by the Hon.
Geo. r. Davis, to-day, in which SEQ
vile recommends the passage of "A law
to the effect that The department of
justice shall also audit and pay claims
for legal services of counsel for defense
in the case in like manner, as is now
authorized by law to be paid special
counsel for the government. Scoville
says that all the circumstances of the
case warrant the proposed action, and
then proceeds to enumerate the cir
cumstances upon which he bases his

Mutton Sheep.

Very advantageous American i'm
provements have been made in mutton
sheep by crossing the long wooded
English rams upon our small, thin
bodied, coarse boned native ewes. The
second cross ofthe English rams makes
an excellent mutton carcass out of the
poorest natives of Mexico and Texas;
while single cross on the grade Meri-
no ewes of the northern states gives an
equally good result. Crossing the vari-
Gus breeds of down rams as above, also
makes an excellent mutton sheep, es-
pecially those of the Oxford down sort,
in consequence of their being the
largest and most inclined to fat. In
mountainous districts and on short
pastures, the Southdown ram being
smaller and more active than either Of

best, for they world pick up good
living where the others would half

If wool were allowed to grow on these

The True Tala Of Tell.
From the Laramie Boolnberang.

William Tell ran hay rancho near
Der selin about $50 years ago. Tell had
lived in the mountains all his life, and
shot chamois and chipmunks with a
crossgun till he was bad man to stir
up. At that time Switzerland was
run principally by lot of carpet bag
gers from Austria, and Tell got down
on them about the year 1907. IL seems
that Tell wanted the government con-
tract to furnish hay for the year 1906
at $45 ton, and Gessler, who was con-
trolling the patronage Of Switzerland,
let the contract TO an Austrian who had
a big lot of condemned hay further up
the gulch. One day Gessler put his
plug hat up on telegraph pole, and
issued order 236, regular series, to the
effect that every snoozer who passed
down the toll road should bow to it.
Gessler happened to be in behind the
bush when Tell went by, and he noticed
that Bill said "shoot the hat" and didn't
salute it, so he told his men to gath
er Mr.. Tell in and put him in the re-
frjgerator. Gessler told him that if he
would shoot crab apple from the head
of Lis only son at 200 yards with cross
gun, he would give him his liberty.
Tell consented and knocked the apple
higher than Gilroy's kite. Old Gessler,

Bee Notes.

Keep your colonies strong. The APP
iarist who aims at large returns of
honey must bear this in mind; the
strong colonies are the only ones that
yield a surplus of honey.
There is something exhilarating to
me to open hive and find it booming
with bees; to see them covering every
frame and crowding up to the top to
see what's the matter when their honey
board is removed. But weak colony,
with bees struggling here and there
over the wide expanse of comb is not
promising much for the future either
of bees or honey, and does not inspire
the bee-keeper very greatly. The best
way, and the most profitable to increase
is to manage to multiply the bees in
each colony, and not so much to in
crease the number of little colonies,
mere nuclei which are in danger of be-
ing lost in winter, and are improbable
as honey gatherers. And there is an
other reason for urging the importance
OF strong colonies: there is no danger
of the bee-moth except in the weak
colonies.
1t is but few years since anything
like systematic bee culture has been
attem pied in the United States, but the
business has now become an important
industry, more than 100000 pounds
of honey being annually produced and
sold. The trade is principally carried
on by large capitalists, who have from
800 to 5000 swarms of bees. In Cali
| fornia the bees are farmed out; that is,
apiaries OF 100 swarms or so are placed
in the grounds of the farmers, general
" from three to four miles apart. The
| farmers receive fixed rent or a share
of the honey for their compensation,
