Taking care of baby during August is
matter Of great Importance. A woman

IF the baby is ailing. don't keep
changing foods 1t IS ruinOus to any
babys stomach and bowels TO keep try
ing a new milk just because a neighbOr
recommends 1t. Keep the baby on the
milk that agrees with it. When bowel
complaint comes on feed the child on
boiled water and the white OF an egg
If 1t becomes worse send for a doctor.
II not, go back to the old food as soon
as possible.
Don't let utensils used for preparing
the babys food go unclaimed Boil them
ell. Never leave milk in the bottle and
merely add new to it, Never set aside
the halfsIass Of milk that an older child
has left. Often these are left on the

self It's just as tough. You wouldn I
wrap yourself up in a blanket on a
sweltering day. so don't smother the
baby. Neither would you SIT in a
draft and don't keep the baby there.

our dispensaries could be done away

some one to explain that children rarely
need medicine.

BRAIDINO RAGS
0ld-Fashioned Rugs in Style-Work for
the Piazza.

Rag carpet parties are the fad Of the
summer guests at the various watering
places this season and threaten to take
precedence Of the much beloved bridge.
To the initiated this all sounds very
simple, but 10 those who aren't lin the
swim. - il may be we'll to state that this
floor covering now termed rag style
Is quite the proper thing today. and
women have all gone back to the old
fashioned sewing bees to get them made

style rugs are nothing more nor less
than the old-fashioned rag carpet Of

are afterYaTd wound into big. hard
balls. Eva7 the children are pressed

long, narrow strips Of gay cloth.
1t all emphasizes the revival OF
the old simple Industries Of our grand

today are expending 50 much time and

KEROSENE KILLS POULTRY.
Seventy Nice Young Turkeys

Among other things that attracted
our attention in going about last sea-
son was the quick and extended de-
struction that Kerosene oil will bring
to lot of young chickens or turkeys
where it is used as an ointment TO
destroy lice, fleas or bugs. In one
instance a raiser who had a fine lot
of young turkeys discovered that some
lice were bothering them a little, and
at once proceeded to rub them with
lard in which some kerosene oil had
been mixed.

ton Of kerosene having been recon-
mended, II was tried, and over 40
young turkeys were killed by the ex-
pertinent. Hundreds of young chicks
have been killed in the same way. and
yet people will tell you to use it, and
people will use it in spite of all that
you can tell them. The best and most
innocent remedy to be used in this
way is to dip your finger. or a small

them all and in no way injure the
young chick or poultry.
We presume that every paper in the
country interested in poultry in any
way has recorded in it's columns the
danger of using kerosene for this pur-
pose, and yet, as stated above, people
will continue to use it.
Nothing can be more destructive
than are the insect vermin when once
they get foothoid among your young
chicks or turkeys. One very success
full turkey raiser carefully examines
every morning every young turkey up

Dressing Fowls for Market.

In scalding ducks and geese the wa
ter must be of the same temperature
as for chickens, but they must remain
longer in the water. as their feath-
ers are shaped to turn even hot wa
ter. Some people prefer not TO leave
them in the water so long, and after
removing them wrap them up in a
blanket to steam. But this is a lit
tie risky when picking for shipment,
as not all persons who help in the
picking process know just exactly how
long to let them steam, and often
when taken from the blankets the
flesh is cooked. After picking off all
down and feathers hold them about IL
seconds in scalding water to plump
them.-Rural Home.
