In an Important article on ''The
Quantity ef Food Required in Infancy,
in Babyhood for July, Prof. j. Lewis
Smith writes: The Importance of
these tests and observations is appar-
emit, inasmuch they enable as to de-
termine approximatelyhow muchfood
should be given at each feeding to in
fants that are unfortunately deprived
of the breast-milk. The food then
used should, of course, bear the clos
est possible resemblance to human
milk in consistence and nutritive prop
critics. Although many substitutes
for human milk have been prepared,
and sold in the shops with ~extrava-
CANT recommendations, it is the opin-
ion of the most intelligent and ex-
perienced physicians that animal milk,
and for convenience that of the COW,
should be made the basis of the prep
aration employed. In my opinion the
followingi is very nearly the properseale
for the dilution of cows milk, which
should, of course, always be as fresh
as possible and ofgood quality. Under
the age of two weeks, one part milk,
two parts water; at three weeks, two
parts milk and three parts water; at
four to six weeks half-milk and half
water; at three months, three parts
milk, two parts water; after four
months, three parts milk and onepart
water. This scale OF dilution does not
give as large a proportion of water as
is recommended by some authorities
in infant dietetics, but it is sanctioned
by the above observations.
The quantity of milk, prepared as di-
rected above, which infants require at
different ages may be formulated, as
follows from the statistics which we
have given. Under the age of three
weeks one to one-and-a-half ounces,
with the water added after it is meas
ured, should be given at each of the
twelve daily feelings. The quantity
should be gradually increased as the
infant grows older until the age of
three months, when three ounces
should be given at each of the eight
feelings. Some infants do not seem
to require an increase of this amount,
but Others who are hearty need more.
Thus one infant aged four months
took, in the average, four ounces of
breastmilk at each of the nine musings
in twenty-four hours. The baby after
the age of six months should be fed
every three hours, and four ounces OF
milkmay begiven ateachfeeding, in or
der to assure a sufficient quantity.
Some require less than this, and oc-
casionally one needs a little more, say
four-and-a-half ounces.

sma..er Farms Better TITLED.

Mr.. George Kerr, in arecent letterto
the Toronto Globe about cultural and
commercial aspects of farming, makes
asuggestive pointfavorable to smaller
surfaces better fertilized and titled:
sHThe farm connected with the
House of Industry, at south Boston
contains only thirty acres, but it is so
thoroughly cultivated that it has
yielded an annual product of $1T6per
acre. Why should one acre yield $176
of value when another, equally fertile
by nature, will yield only $40. Why
is agarden richer than a field? Vienna.
nure our gardens well and our fields
lightly; we dig our gardens twenty inch
es deep, plough our fields five inches;
we cultivate a small patch thoroughly
and scratch over a small space super.
ficially."
Further misunderstanding better hus.
bandry instead o .spoverty in land is
afforded in the next excerpt:
III read of an old man mot long ago)
who had a large farm and two daugh-
tiers. When the one got married he
gave her as q dowry one-third of his
farm, yet he discovered that the re-
naming two-thirds Melted him as
much as the whole; when the other
married he gave her a third andfound
his profits in thesucceeding yearlargeI
than they had ever been. A practical
farmer says, / am confident that fifty
acres, if cultivated in the very best
style of modern Improvement, will
yield more profit than many Of your
100 acre farms now yield"
The philosophy of the matter-'the
disadvantage of skim-cul.ure'-obvi
Gus upon q littlerehection, is il~lustrat-
ed by the case oftheco crop: There
are many farmers whose yearly pro.
duct per acre does not exceed an aver.
age oil twenty-five bushels. There are
otherfarmers who obtain generally not
less than sixty bushels per acre, and
often eighty to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 150
bushels. Now observe thedifferencein
the profits of each-the first 250bush
els off ten acres. In doing this he had
to plough, harrow, mark out, find seed
plant, cultivate, hoe, and cat up ten
acres, besides paying interest on ter
acres, worth from $500 to 81 300
The otherfarmer gets $50 bushelsfrom
four acres at the furthest; and heonly
ploughs, plants, cultivates and hoes
to obtain the sam amount, four acres
which, from their fine filth, and free
dom from grass and weeds, Is much
easier done, even for an equal surface

auently employed for keeping weeds
out of garden walks, and the following
is said to be the best way of applying
it.: Boil the salt in water, one pound
to the gallon, and pour the mixture
boiling hot out OF a w~atering-pot with
spreading rose. This will keep weeds
and worms away for two or three
years.
DR.. Alice B. Stockton, in the Peoples
Health Journal, says that unless q
woman has tried loose clothing she
cannot conceive how much she gains
for health and strength by a dress that
rives perfect freedomto breathe. "Six-
teen thicknesses of CLOTH" she says,
lis no unusual number to be found
tightly fastened about a lady's waist"
Concerning this matter she once heard
a Chinese woman eXclaim: Christian
m squeeze Gods life"
The etiquette Misunderstanding is sim
pie. No man should assume to take
a lady'g hand until it is offered. A
lady extends her hand and allows the
gentleman to takeit.' Onintroduction
IN a room O. married lady generally
shakes hands; young ladies not often.
in the ballroom, where the introduc-
ton is for dancing, not for friendship,
never shake hands. The more public
the place ofintroduction the less hand
shaking takes place.
In the North Carolina Medical Jour
nal. DR.. J. r. Irwin says that n OF
the best and most pleasant things
that can be used to relieve tbs painful
state of the dental nerves is chewing
cinnamon-bark. 1t destroys the sen
ability of the nerves, andsuspends the
pain Immediately, il the bark is OF
good quality. After repeated trials,
and in different cases, he is convinced
that it is generally as ~eficacious as
any of the other remedies su~ggestedfor
odontalgia, and not attended with the
unpleasant consequences OF %creosote,
carbolic acid, etc, which relieve the
pain, but leave the mouth as sore and
painful as the tooth was previously.
though these results are usually due
to carelessness in using.

Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Ithas comet be sayingt that when q
Chinaman arrives in this city with the
intention of going into business all he
requires is aroom, awash-tub, a stove,
two hat-irons and a wife. The wife is
considered as much of a necessity as
any other articles of the house, and
she is generally with more of an eye to
business than to love. Al Chinaman
is particular to get a healthy wife and
a woman with a fair knowledge of
washing and ironing is preferable, but
it is not imperative that she should
know all about that business. She
can soon be taught it. Health and
strength are the first requisites. After
these the rest will follow. Five years
ago prejudice was SO strong against
Cinnamon that they couldnotget wom-
ento marrythem, butprejudice against
them has gradually died away, till now
q Chinaman can get a wife, as one said
recently, "Allee same as a Mclean
man." In q few instances they have
secured young and pretty wives, but
more often they have chosen com
panions less beautiful than Helen of
Troy.

Weed Out the Diaries.

When we say weed out the diaries
we mean TO say that in nearly every
dairy there are some cows that are
Improbable, that do not give enough
milk, or make enough butter>or cheese
whatever the object of the dairy to
pay cost of keeping and care, or, if
they barely pay cost, they displace
Others that would pay a good profit.
A grain growing farmer who should see
SO many thin or barren spots in his
fields of grain as to reduce the average
yield below cost Of production would
not be satisfied, even though some of
the acres yielded large enough TO pay
a good profit. He would try, by heavy
manuring, more thorough tillage, or by
draining, to bring up the yield of the
poorer spots to a profitable standard.
A dalryman may easily sink the
profits of his herd by keeping a few
poor cows. Part of the herd may give
enough milk, or make enough butter
or cheese to afford a fair profit over
cost,-feed, care, interest and Weir,
and yet the business be a losing one,
because the other portion OF the herd
do not pay their way. Dairymen
should not be content with a knowl-
edge of what. the herd is doing, even
though it may be returning a profit,
but should know just what every COW
is doing. Every cows milk should be
set and tested separately at least
twice in the season, when in full milk
and when she has been in milk six or
eight months. Ii are and found
doing less than the average, they
should be prepared for the sham
bles, and the feed, labor and
care bestowed upon them given to those
that would yield above the average.
BY such means the average would be
continually increasing.
Some dairymen have named 200lbs,
ayear as the minimum yield of butter
that should be tolerated in a dairy
COW, but that is pretty low, and no
dairymen can afford to retain a COW
making SO small a quantity, if reason
| able effort will create a herd, every
one of which shall do considerably
better. 1t is because so manyfarmers
are satisfied with doing only tolerably
well, do not determine to do the best
| possible, that so much complaint is
made of the unproftableness of farm.

putting up Cueumbers in pickles.

Pack the cucumbers in a jar or tub,
then pour a weak brine upon them,
and let fireman three days. Pouroff
the brine, and pour on enough hot
boiling vinegar to cover the pickles,
and let them stand "a hours. Reboil
the vinegar, and pour on as before.
Do this three times, letting the pickles
stand 24hours each time. Thenthrow
the pickle away, and add enough fresh
vinegar to cover the cucumbers. Add
a lump of alum the size of a marble to
a gallon OF pickle; half pound OF sugar
and spices to taste. Bring to a boil,
skim, and then turn upon the pickles
while hot. Let them stand well coy
cred for ten days, and they are ready
for use. This is one kind ofmarketable
pickles. Another kind, and one that is
largely used, is: Soak the cucum-
bers in O. barrel or tub, in salt.
When needed take the cucumbers
out and throw boiling water on
them. When sufficiently freshened
(which you will know by the waterb be.
coming fresh) put the cucumbers in a
porcelain kettle, and cover with cold
vinegar. Put in o little pod or part
of a red pepper to each gallon of
pickles; also q piece of alum about the
size ola pea to each gallon. Then let
them come to a scald-not boil. When
scalding hot take them out and put in
a vessel to be used, pouring the same
vinegar over them. If to be kept fora
long time the vinegar will need chang
ing. This gives pickles anatural color,
which are now most generally in use.
To those who prefer green pickles the
following gives the desired color: Dis
solve fivegrains ofsaffronin one-fourth
ounce of distilled water, and in anoth-
er vessel dissolve four grains of indigo
carmine in half an ounce of distilled
water. Shake up and allow to stand
"a hours. Then mix the two and a
fine solution, notpoisonous, isformed.

A Pawnee Scalp Dance.

AS / approached the lodge an nour
before sunset, / saw dangling from q
lodge pole, which rose far above the
lodge, the scalp around which the
dance was to beheld. The scalp was
that of a The hair was fully
eighteen inches long and of a red color.
AS / enteredthe lodge no one was with
In except the dancers ten or twelve in
number, who sat in a semi-circle at the
back Of the lodge and opposite the en-
trance, and two attendants who busi=
ed themselves attending the wants OF
the dancers. All was quiet, not q
word being spoken until near the set
ting sun. Then the drummers beat
with all their power, and in came the
spectators (mostly men) pell-mell yell
ing at the top of their voices. All
seemed confusion, all were talking at
once; but once in, all again became
quiet as before. The dancers were
painted most fancifully, many being
covered all over with white or clay
paint. Where only the faces was orna-
mented the more rare colors were used,
such as red, green, blue, yellow, but all
were painted beyond recognition.
Spotted Horse was the first to dancei
he being the one who had cut the scalp
from its owner. He came forth with
digniied air, first describedho he had
killed the woman and cut the scalp on
before she vas dead, Y describing
how she had screamed and pleadedfor
mercy. BY use of the tomahawk he
held, he acted out as near as possible
the dreadful tragedy in which he had
played SO important a part. Then
came the dance; first thedancer's head
and body are leanedforward, the head
reaching very near the ground, next
lifting the feet high In the air, he
throws himself back into a sitting
posture with such force as to
seem to jar the very lodge. A
knife was held in one hand, a medi-
cine gourd in the other, the latter OF
which was shook accompaniment to
the music of the Indian drums. The
dance was in exact unison with the
music. At intervals he stopped and
reviewed the story he had already re-
lated or some part of it, then again

Thus the dance was kept up for an
hour when he wasjoined by the rest of
the dancers. One by one they came
forth and related some act of valor,
after which the dance was again begun.
This dance was kept upuntil midnight
when the presents were given. Many
of the spectators became SO excited
they took from their own body their
wearing apparel and threw it to the
dancers. Then came the big smoke.
The chiefs pipes were filled by the
chief himself with (N~ow-eo-cow) Indian

virtue, and sent by the attendant to
one of the spectators who is known to
have made some present. He smokes

During a recent excursion through q
rural district which we refrain fromlo-
eating, except to say it al not in the
far-famed Genesee Valley, or any 9th
er part of Western New York, we saw
some surprising evidences OF neglect
about cleaning out barnyards and
utilizing the elements of fertility they
contained. In one instance the ma
nure pile was so large that it reminded
us of the old story anent the farmer
who was obliged to move his barn be-
cause access to it was SO blockaded by
rich fertilizing materials And we
thought it might not be amiss
to ask the readers of The Rural
Home Tor at least such of them
as borrow the paperl) if they had any
trouble with like incumbrancesin their
barnyards-such valuable material as
ought to have been long ago spread in
held, orchard and garden, instead of
being allowedto run to waste by evapo-
ration or otherwise, thus pulluting the
air with disagreeable odors and per-
haps engenderingdisease If any have
inadvertently overlooked a matter sc
important, or from any cause being
prevented from doing their dutyin the
premises, we would suggest that it may
not be too late yet, as some crops
would be decidedly benefited by an APP
pllcation sof barnyard or other fer
~tilizers.
But the barnyard should be looked
TO at this season, even fit was cleaned
