of Riverside, Cal, who started acci-

Experiments in silk culture have been
carried on to great extent in Utah,
and now the United States Government
has employed a woman to conduct sim
liar operations in North Carolina. About
twelve years ago Mrs Carrie Williams,
of San Diego, Cal, proved by expert
ments that the California climate is
well adapted to the culture of the silk
worm. Now even the club women are
experimenting in one of the city parks
of Los Angeles to show that silk CO.

Disposing of Garden Stuff.
A young woman up in Massachusetts
found herself without any means of sup

mother to care for. They still had pos

trees on 1t that bore we'll. There was
small fruit, as well, on the place, and
an immense old-fashioned flower garden
and two ceres of vegetable garden.
Heretofore nothing had been used but
for their own table. Now some money
must be earned in some way. She made
a bargain with the butcher TO supply him
with proper bouquets of herbs. These

THE PROPER CARE OF THE BABY
What He Should Eat at Three Months.
His Clothes and Carriage

Never take a young baby out when
there is much melting snow on the
ground, or when the Thermometer Is be-
low 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Let him take
his airing In the house instead on such
DAYS
A comfortable baby carriage is better
for the child than to be carried IN the
mothers or nurses arms, for he can be
kept warmer. II is really economy to
buy good-sized, substantial baby car
riage. The English make is best on ac-
count OF the hood, which protects the
child from the wind
While the child is so young he should
lie out straight on a heavy, folded
blanket, or hair pillow, having small.
thin pillow under his head; near his feet
should be hot-water bag; light wool
en- blanket or afghan should be put into
the carriage and the baby placed upon il.
then it should be carefully wrapped
around him, and the outer carriage robe
tucked in. These wraps may be modified
to suit the weather. Babies who lie on
one fur rug and are covered by another
are apt to be in a dripping perspiration

very easily.
If the carriage has parasol. 1t should
be lined with green and adjusted so as
to keep the sun out of the child's face.
When crossing the street let the carriage
gently down on the back wheels first,
and this viii prevent a sudden Jerking
forward of the baby's body. There Is no
harm in allowing the baby to sleep out
of doors in cold weather. if he is kept
warm.
In cold weather the baby's cloak
should be lined with flannel or lambs
wool. and his cap should have flannel
lining also On his hands he should
wear wooden mittens. a veil Is not
necessary. and is often very uncomfort-
able. as it gets wet by the baby's lips
or by his sucking il. If he is protected
by the parasol. that is all that is neccs-
sary.
