Baby Farming in New York.

Henry Bergh, taking as a text the
deaths at the baby farm in One hundred
and sixty-fourth street, New York,
known as the st. Vincent de Paul Nurs-
cry, where, it is learned, ten infants
have died since Jan. l, brings an indict-
ment against American motherhood.
"As for the general prevalence of baby
farming he says, sit can only be at
tributed to the fact that American wom-
en-especially those in fashionable So
ciety-are disinclined to rear children.
Hence, the modern convenience of baby
farming. After the child is born. the
mother ascertains the address of some
woman engaged In the business, and
sends her offspring to the headquarters
OF this hardened creature, in some I'M
%obtrusive place in Connecticut or
In some county in the northern
part of New York. The mother gen
orally loses all trace of her child, and
IN most cases, of course, it has been
starved to death" This is not an at
tractive picture, but it is borne out by
many facts, n of which is that not in
frequently those who manage or mis-
manage, these baby farms are paid a
good round sum to take care of the in
iants. Eight dollars a month would
furnish a baby with considerable fresh.
sweet milk, and leave a good balance.
