Hot Weather Hints for the Baby.

Keep it cool. Watch its food. Let
it live out doors. Keep it out of the
hot sun. Give it plenty of pure, cool
water, to drink. Battle it often.
Sponging a child often in cool water
will refresh it and keep it from fret
ting
Let it wear as few garments as pos
sible. Keep the child we'll powdered to
prevent chatting. To prevent prickly
heat, battle the child in as hot water
as can be borne. A little boracic acid,
teaspoonful to pint of water, will
allay itching from mosquitoes.
Let the baby sleep out Of doors. See
that it is in a shady place with a
good draft of air. The less attention
and handling it receives the better.

SENTIMENT is IMPROVING
Basic Condition Underlying Trade
Situation Appears Stronger
Says Dun in Weekly
Review.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s week.
iy review of trade says:
while trade contraction continues,
sentiment improves and the basic con-
dition underlying the situation appears
stronger. While quietness still pre-
walls in most departments Of the iron
and steel market, there has been prac-
tically no further decline in quotations.
The general opinion appears to be that
the lowest point has now been reach
ed and that any change occurring from
now on will be toward higher level.
Production of pig iron is in about the
same volume as a week ago, but buy
ing shows a further contraction, al
though at the expense of reduction
in stocks in the hands of the fabricat.
ing interests, while new orders in
some lines of finished steel are said
to exceed those of the same time in
the previous month and when fair
sized orders were placed for calls.
"The tone of the dry goods markets
is better, especially with jobbers and
selling agents, but business is still of
limited proportions, with buyers show
ing little desire to operate beyond we'll
defined requirements. Cotton goods
and cotton yarn held firm, with buy.
ing showing more breadth. The weeks
sales at Fall River reached 100000
pieces, or double the amount of the
restricted output of print cloths, while
sales of $500 bales of standard drills
for India was the largest business with
the far east China markets being dull
and present prices above the views of
Red Sea buyers.
Business on wool firsts and
worsteds is of a more limited char
ncter, although there is more agree
ment regarding values. The trend of
the production is still much below nor
NAL and there is a general desire on
the part of producers to avoid accumu-
lations.
MANY shoe manufacturers have
completed contracts on fall goods and
now are doing little, owing to lack of
supplementary fall orders. Most of
the New England factories are still
running on part time and the local job
bing trade continues to improve, owing
to the approaching opening of the
schools. The hide market is less ac-
tive and the advanced prices demand
ed of late have checked the demand.
There is some improvement in leather,
and increased sales have been made
in certain descriptions, but the situa,
ton on the whole is still far from
satisfactory, and in number of in
stances further concessions have been
made in prices in order to effect busi-
ness"

Many orchardists and farmers think
they have trouble enough with the
grass and weeds in their growing
crops, but it would doubtless be a
greater task to keep these subdued
If it were not for the assistance of
the birds.
If we are to believe what many
toiling scientists have revealed, what
many state agricultural departments
tell us, what the United States gov
ernment publications declare, and
what we can all see with our eyes II
we stop to observe, one great in
calculable value of our birds lies in
the tremendous number of harmful
insects which they destroy and the
vast quantities of harmful weed seeds
which they consume. 1t is no small

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
timable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri.
fed and beautifled, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, disfguring rashes, itchingsr
irritations and chafngs dispelled.
To this end, nothing is so pure, Sc
sweet, so speedily effective as the con-
slant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted,
when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment.
Send to Potter Drug & Chem. Corp,
sole proprietors, Boston, for their free
52-page Cuticura Book, telling all about
the care and treatment of the skin.

CARE OF BLANKETS.

Those who know say that the hot
days Of summer are the best for wash
ing blankets and bedding. The hot
sunshine drys them quickly and per-
fectly.
The secret of blanket washing is to
keep the water through the washing
and rinsing at the same temperature.
Tepid water is best; dissolve the soap
in a dish of water and add to the wa
ter in which the blankets are to be
washed. Never rub soap on blankets.
"A washing machine is good to wash
blankets as the water may be drawn
of easily and fresh added as 1t be-
comes soiled. The rinse water should
contain very little soap as 1t leaves

Goat Meat.

Twenty thousand pounds Of goat
meat consumed in Brooklyn weekly
now because of the high prices de.
manded for beef, lamb, mutton and
pork. 1t is selling at five and six
cents pound lower than mutton, and
no effort is being made to violate the
law by concealing its identity. Most
of the goat meat is used by the poorer
classes, who say they like it fully as
well as the higher priced meats.

on these worms before the maize is
ripe, and consequently extirpated
them"
OF recent years the study of the re-
lationship of birds to agriculture has
revealed many facts which are having
decided influence in changing public
sentiment regarding many birds which
were formerly regarded as largely if
not wholly detrimental. The most
marked example is probably in refer
ence to the real value of some species
OF hawks and owls on the farm. Many
people have recognized but little dis
tlnction between these, and tens of
thousands of these useful creatures
have been killed by persons who sin
cerely believed they were doing the
country service. We now know that
very large percent of the food Of
the sparrow hawk consists Of grass
hoppers and other insects. The red
shouldered hawk feeds to a large ex-
tent on field mice, shews, young rab-
bits, and other injurious vermin. To
kill sparrow hawk, therefore, means
an increased opportunity for the grass

Field Beans.

Field beans have been selling at
good prices for two or three years.
Two dollars per bushel is often Ne
ceived. If your soil is adapted to
beans the crop may pay better than
wheat. Yields range from IA to IS
bushels per acre. The pea bean is
planted most largely. About three
fourths of bushel of seed is required
per acre. Twenty-eight inches is suff-
cient space between rows. Limestone
and glacial drift soils seem to be espe-
cially well adapted to beans.

Poor Cows Better Than None

The cows found in many parts of
the country may not bring large re-
turns at first, but it will pay better to
use them than to have none at all.
The herd can be graded up in few
gears and the quality of the calves
caised from the beef-bred cows will
partially compensate for the small re-
turns in cream.
