BABY'S DISEASES,
What Mothers Can DO to Render Them
Comparatively Harmless.


Comparatively Harmless.
Nursing mothers should reflect that
in the crisis OF dentition every thing
for the child depends upon their owr
self-control and abstinence from irritn.
ting and dyspeptic articles Of food. II
Is a very terrible fact in connection
with civilization, that women shrink
more and more, MS luxurious living
abounds, from fulfilling the obligations
OF maternity. The working-womar
errs on the other side, and continues
very often to suckle her children
longer than it is right, outraging ma
ture In this direction perhaps as will
fully as her wealthy sister does in
another; but 1t is, after all, the lesser
evil OF the two. Bringing up by hand
means certain suffering for the baby all
through its earliest months, and access
of liability to sickness during dentition,
which In itself should be the strongest
argument in favor of supplying the dis
abled or unwilling mothers place by q
wet-nurse.
To be good nurse when her shil-
dren are sick, to understand how To
deal with convulsions, diarrhma, in
fantine cholera or the many disturb
ances which often make infancy q
miserable experience, is not the great
est triumph for the mother, but to be
so truly mistress OF herself and chill
dren, and so thoroughly conversant
with the laws of health, that she can
prevent disease. Prevention is always
better than cure, and every doctor will
assure us that more than two-thirds OF
our children's illnesses might have
been entirely obviated by judicious
care. For infant health, the require
ments are absolute regularity of life,
the utmost simplicity in nutrition, fresh
air, cleanliness. A little self-denial on
the part of the nursing mother, the ex-
ercise of watchful care on the part oil
one who is forced to bring her child up
by bottle, will do more to carry II
safely through the possible dangers OF
dentition, than the attendance of the
doctor.--Dcmoresr Monthly.

VALUE OF DRAINAGE.
How Land Is Beautificd by Thorough and
Practical Understanding.


There are hundreds of acres sowed
TO oats and planted to corn every
spring, that are spoiled in the cultiva-
tion because the land is too wet to till
to good advantages; yet it is the best
that can be done under the circum-
stances. You must go on whenever it
is possible for the team to travel across
1t, or the field sowed in such a manner,
put in when the ground is so soft that
the harrow does not fill up the horse
tracks, then followed by hot sun that
bakes a hard crust on the surface
through which the air can not circulate
freely. Indeed, when we consider the
unfavorable conditions the plants have
to contend with, it is surprising that
we get the crops we do. Then let us
look at field that has been properly
drained. The low spots are dry and
fit to work as soon as the knolls. You
can get on to work it easier and in
better shape; tho surplus water in
stead of lying on the surface until
it evaporates, leaving the ground
baked and the oats in very sickly
condition, goes through the earth to
the channel provided for it, thus
making innumerable little passages
through which the air can penetrate
and sweeten the soil. The drained
land absorbs more heat from the sun;
plants get the benefit of this heat and
air; are healthier; grow better, and
therefore give larger yields, and as
rule the growing season is considerably
heightened. This one advantage of
getting oats sowed early, often makes
all the difference between poor and a
good crop.
Another important point in favor OF
tile draining, in my opinion, is the
greater benefit we derive from the ma
nure applied, as compared with wet
land not drained. IL is the plan OF
most farmers in this locality TO haul out
the manure in the winter and early
spring and spread it on the fields in-
tended for corn. After the ground
thaws out and before the manure is
turned under, we generally have some
heavy rains, and am sure every OBJ
serving farmer must have noticed ION
wet lands) the streams OF liquid ma
nure running down the burrows seeking
their way to the nearest water course,
because the ground was full of water
and there was no other alternative. In
the case of the tiled land the water
level is always on u level with the tiles,
consequently when the manure is spread
on the surface, that which the rain
washes out and carries with II, must be
nearly all left in the earth as the water
filters through to reach the drains.
