its life along the shores Of the Pacific
ocean. IL flies far inland to breed The

early days came there for the purpose
OF mating, laying their eggs and rear

Unfortunately, many other species Of

birds and, being pursued By sportsmen

lentlessness, they are at the present
time threatened with determination.

The case OF the Willet is almost as
deplorable. for its breeding range on

tended from Florida to Nova Scotia

colonies, while II has ceased to exist

they found these two species nesting

a result the birds. being not naturally

over most Of their range Only a few
small flOcks remain in the widest and

nucleus which, under adequate protec-
ton, might save them from utter and
final extinction.

OF the havoc wrought by men in the

Barley Water Used.
At 8 months, sometimes earlier, a

place Of plain water; it IS made Of one
half level tablespoonful Of barley flour
to 16 ounces Of water and cooked for
20 minutes.
At months the barley flour may be

At 9 months the barley flour may
be increased to three level tablespoon

overfed because they are fed too much
at one time, OF because they are fed
too often, or because the food is too
rich for their digestion They may also
be upset because they are feed at irreg-
ular intervals.
A baby is easily taught regular hab-

In Hot Weather.
The hot weather Of july and Auoust
IS the time when the greatest care must
be exercised in artificial feeding. The
baby has less appetite, and Is not as
well able TO digest his food during the
excessive heat. On this account he
should have less food than usual. and
It IS often wise to weaken the feeding
ssIilghtly. by pouring out one-quarter Of
the milk and adding the same amount
OF boiled water to each bottle. If tbe
baby shows any signs Of Indigestion
the time between feeding should b
heightened 70 four hours.
