The Baby and His Daily Bath

Maternity might have been an in
stinct in some of the past ages, but
TODAY. while mother love has revived
in all its perfection, mother knowledge
is not to be taken for granted. Very
few women know exactly how TO
battle a baby, and, although they make
ant pupils. experience will not always
teach the many intricate little details
of babys morning toilet.
Baby should have bath every
morning, not as a matter of cleanliness
entirely, but more as matter OF ny
giene: for baby is like flower; he
cannot live without water, and during
his submersion his little pores take
the necessary moisture UP into his
thirsty little system. For this reason
then. the morning bath is necessary
and mother will find it most convenient
to battle him between the second and
third morning feelings; for, directly
after the bath, he needs nourishment
and rest.
Before baby is taken into the bath
ing room mother must see that the
room is warm enough-76 degrees
Fahrenheit is right; that the water is
ready. and that all the clean clothes,
soap and other necessaries are at hand
for the bath must not be interrupted by
search for mislaid articles
Everything within reach, the process
of undressing may be started. 1t is
best to take off all baby's clothes at
once, for then he will not be subjected
to the handling that is necessary when
each separate garment is removed
This undressing should be done upon
mothers lap, although an older child
may sit upon the chair. After the
clothes are removed, baby is laid
upon mothers lap to be soaped. Moth
er usually does this with suds on her
hand, or else by rubbing the soar upon
the rose-leaf skin.
A very small baby will not usually
cry if one hand is gently pressed upon
the abdomen during the soaping pro-
cess The tiny mOrsel is accustomed to
the combining band, and the lack of
pressure is uncomfortable. Of course,
when baby is laid upon his face the
controlling hand is not needed.
After the soaping process. baby
should be placed, feet first, in the tub
of water. which should be about 100
degrees Fahrenheit Lacking a Their
mometer. mother may be sure that the
water is not too hot if she holds her
elbow in it with comfort She cannot
judge by her hands.
After baby is in the water, support
his back and head always with one
hand, and rinse away all the soap;
then take him from the water and lay
him face downward upon the lap.
Cover him at once with a Turkish
towel and dry him gently. Turn him,
and when he is quite dry fasten on the
flannel band. Then powder him
roud all the joints with good talcum

With the Small Farmer
Production Of Clean Milk

All COWS that are weak. extremely thin
and coughing, must be removed from
the herd Milk from unhealthy COWS
is not safe to use. and only COWS in
good health can make profitable Use
Of the food given them The herd
should be inspected at regular inter-
walls by competent veterinarian
1t is necessary to have hcalthful
buildings and to keep them clean. but
such buildings need not be expensive.
The four essentials are light, ventila-
ton, proper floor. and comfortable
tie. Window glass is almost as cheap
as lumber. The King system Of Ven
tilation can be installed by anv ear
penter or by the farmer himself az
the cost of a few feet of lumber md ?.
few days work A cement floor is but
little more expensive than good wood
floor. and is many times more durable
Planks laid over the cement where the
cows stand will prevent injury to the
animals. \ comfortable tie is only a
little more expensive than an awkward
rigid stanchion. A good swing STAN
chion is not uncomfortable to the COW
All of these things could be put into
the ordinary dairy barn with but little
trouble. and would pay for themselves
in less than a year in the increased eff
cheney of the herd
Much of the dirt in milk comes from
the barnyard. The COWS wade knee
deep in mud and manure and carry this
filth into the barn on their legs, tails
and udders. 1t is difficult to clean off.

with cinders or gravel. If drainage
cannot be obtained in any other way,
the rule should be. raise the barn and
grade up to it.
Before milking. the cows should be
gone over with brush and all iOose
particles of dirt removed. This need not
take more than thirty seconds per cow
The cows udder comes in contact with
the floor and can not be cleaned by
simply brushing. 1t is very important
that the udder should be washed with
a damp sponge or CLOTH and this may
take thirty seconds more. The spong-
ing will be doubly effective if the long
hairs around each teat and lower pat
of the udder are cut short Each man
who is to milk twelve or fifteen COWS
will need to spend twelve or fifteen
minutes in cleaning them. This clean
ing is very simple and inexpensive. and
yet nine out of ten farmers scout the
idea as preposterous. Every farmer
will spend hours cleaning hos horses,
because he is ashamed to have tn pub
lie see them dirty. 1t would be much
more reasonable to spend less time
cleaning his horses and more zine
