of How to Feed the Babies.
Medical scientists more than any
other class of persons realize the neces-
sity for some substitute for milk for
feeding infants and young children
There are SO many imperfectly nour-
ished babies, and SO many little ones
that show unmistakable indications of
wrong feeding, that the chemist and
the doctor are becoming concerned as
TO the future health and development OF
bottle babies. The one-cow's milk idea
has ceased to be attractive. and doctors
and nurses long since lost faith in it
Even the cow selected with the utmost
care from the best conditioned herd and
kept in the most approved way, may be-
come a source of evil by developing I'M
suspected diseases.
In view of these facts, experiments
have been made with a new preparation
which is to be substituted for ordinary
diluted milk. This mixture is composed
Of cows milk, veal bouillon, sugar Of
milk and cream, and is prepared as fol-
lows: "a piece OF veal weighing eight
ounces and half is allowed 20 boil for
As minutes in II ounces Of water. After
this is finished, q sufficient quantity Of
water is added 10 increase the amount
of bouillon 10 II ounces. A mixture of
$50 grains each Of cows milk and OF
veal bouillon contains only LBS per cent
of fat, and in order TO complete the
three per cent Of fat a teaspoon
full OF cream is added. together with So
grains of sugar of milk

ABOUT EARThWORMS,
How they Maintain the Living lay
er of Vegetable Mold.

A discussion on the subject of earth
worms and vegetable mold appeared
in a recent issue of Longman's Maya
zine. The writer, Grant Allen, states
that it was Gilbert White. of Selborne,
who first of all pointed out the impor-
tance of earthworms as producers and
maintainers of living layers of veg
etable mold. 1t was the patient inves-
LEGATIONS of Darwin, however, which
fully established the fact, and raised it
to the rank of a scientific discovery,
his first writing on the subject appear
ing in the Gardeners Chronicle. Later
he issued an entire book on this inter-
esting matter. Darwin showed that
earthworms act upon the soil in three
ways. In the first place they open up
and loosen the ground for the roots TO
penetrate. more perfect ~acration of the
soil being thus obtained. The acids
they Secrete also act chemically upon
the layer of rocks beneath in a way that
assists the diSintegration of the latter.
In the second place they crush in
their gizzards small fragments of
stone and liberate their component ele-
ments, In the third place they drag
down into their burrows countless
numbers Of leaves, which they eat, and
carry up the refuse to the surface. 1t

souvenir of her existence and achieve
ments. On u man of war the bell is
usually inscribed with her name and
the date of her launching; and as it is
probable that it may some day become
a memento Of a glorious history, the
bell is often the subject of special care
in casting or selection. Sometimes the
hundreds of workmen who have built
the great ship contribute each a silver
coin to be melted and nodded into u
bell which shall be the token of their
love for the object of their creation and
their interest in her future career.
Often the people OF the city or state
after which n man of war is named
may present to her n magnificent bell
appropriately ornamented and in
scribed with words of good will and
good wishes. Such u bell is usually
presented with ceremony after the ship
goes into commission.
Ships bells in general are made of
bronze, like other bells. The addition
of silver in their composition gives
them u peculiarly clear and musical
tone. They are placed in such a posi-
ton on the upper deck that they may
be heard from one end of the ship to
the other; and are usually near the
mainmast or at the break of the fore
castle. One popularity exists in a

This story of how a little girl came to

"SILAS REED"
Ada had a hobby for all kinds Of pets,
and the thought Of a gentle calf made
her go into ecstacy.
"Oh, papa, please buy it," she begged.

Wait, my dear; We haven't any place
TO keep it,"
"Oh, yes, in Princes stable. Now do,
papa" coaXed the little girl. So that is
the way Brownie became a pet.
Brownie learned to love Ada and was
never happier than when they were
roaming over the fields together.
Brownie would nibble the grass and
Ada would make chains of daisies, TO be
torn up as Don as finished. Brownie
became .Ada's fayorite of all her many

PROGRESSIVE METHODS.
Butter Put Up In Attractive Packages
Always Sells Well.

People who buy butter place greater
stress upon the appearance of the pack
age as it ONE from the hands of the
dairyman than many of us are inclined
to think.
For many years it was the fortune of
the writer to buy the butter used in his
household. Such an experience will
soon convince one of the value of neat
ness in butter-making. We, indeed, sut-
fered many things from these who Of
fered us their wares. Poor tubs and
pals, with brine leaking through the
stained and discolored stas<; half
salted aud ovcr-salted goods. under
colOredi and o~ver-colored butter; butte"
fgesh and butter old and altogether UNI
pleasant to look upon-all these and
more were presented to us for pur-
chase.
When we came on the farm we deter
mined to make the best butter wec0uld.
and offer it for sale only in the most
attractive form possible. My wife had
the advantage Of having been born on
u farm, and, further, of having had for
a mother an excellent hutter-maker;
and our goods were always good. But
ter made in the summer would stand
until the next spring without injury.
We used the very best oak tubs and
took every possible pains to have our
butter sailed properly.
Recently we have procured a butter.
carrier with trays, etc. and Il fine print.
Butter put up in this way presents "A
charming appearances. The other day |
offered ii fine line put up in this way to
the city trade. There was but one com
ment: That looks fine, anyway"
or Isn't that lovely butter!" IT took
me but a short time TO dispose of all
had on hand and at something above
the market price. One mar took a lot
without tasting or even smelling il; but
he had had some before and knew what
it was
This method of putting up butter we
continued until June, when we began to |
put it down in tubs for storing until
next fall.
1t is not strange to me that so much
butter is sold at a low figure when | see
how absolutely inferior much of it is.
There would be a decided improvement
all around if everyone used the greatest
possible care from milking to market
ing to do their work thoroughly and
well. If those who do not exercise this
care could be compelled to buy for a
year or two ! believe their eyes would
then be opened to the great value OF
n%eatness in the dairy.-E. l.. Vincent,
in Western Rural.
