at this time OF the year the trains
and boats are carrying thousands OF
families to the seashore, the noun.
tains, or the farms for their annual
vacations from the, hot and crowded
cities. .fs
Among the host Of travellers are
many babies and young children. In
deed, it is chiefly on account of them
that parents are willing to take all the
trouble involved in the annual sum
mer pilgrimage, the WEAKNESS of the
journey, and the many inconveniences
Of a temporary home.
They are, however, usually repaid
by the increased health Of the chill
dren, and in the early weeks Of Sep,
TENDER the trains are again filed with
returning families Of happy children
whose sunburned cheeks, arms and
legs, and irrepressible spirits show
what tonic fingers in mountainside or
country spaces.
Unfortunately, this Is not always
the case. Whether or not this cha.-sSs
from city to country life is to bc y.
together beneficial Or not depends up.
on the sort of living conditions into
which the children will come. and
upon the character of the milk sup
ply and the drinking water.
In most cities, mothers, whether
poor or rich, may have the benefit OF
carefully inspected milk and drinking
water. In the country, It Is wise
precaution to LOOK into these matters
before selecting the summer home.
Flies and mosquitoes are two great
enemies of the baby, affecting not
merely his comfort, but endangering
his health, and possibly his life. In
going to the country, the mother
should select, If possible, a place
where the doors and windows and the
porches are screened and one where
water closets or some form of sani-
tary privy is in use. The latter i'm
provements are not, necessarily. very
expensive, and should be provided.
The prudent mother will include q
bolt of cotton netting in the outfit she
takes to the country in order that the
baby's crib, at least, may be protected
from insects.
In going to new place with a baby
all the drinking water, and the milk
also, should be boiled, II from a
strange supply about the cleanliness
of which the mother knows nothing.
To travel comfortably with baby,
the first thing to be considered is his
food If the baby is breast fed no
trouble will be experienced. For q
bottle baby enough feelings must be
prepared at home to last throughout
thu entire journey, unless the trip
takes longer than twenty-four hours
1t is best to sterilize the milk for this
purpose as follows:
Stand the filled bottfes in kettle
over the fire and let the water boil
about them for an hour and a half
After boiling, the bottles should be

Although it has been many years
since Iowa has been visited by grass
hoppers in large number, there was
a period during the sixties and sew
enties when these pests caused un-
told hardship to the farmers OF the
northwestern part of the state. The
invasion of the year 1873 is described
in the following words in an article
published by the State Historical So
ciety of Iowa: -.
"Marcf and April OF the year 1873
were cold, rainy months. The seed
ing was long delayed and when 1t was
finally accomplished the grain was
slow in sprouting and slower In COM
ing through the ground. But In May
the gloomy prospect frightened; the
fields of wheat and oats waxed luxur-
iant the corn stretched up by leaps
and bounds. Feasting their eyes on
the promising sight the settlers felt
that thew would be justified in build
inc new granaries, in purchasing i'm
nIerepts, and in procuring for their
families some of the things that had
been long denied. Tempting oppor-
turities for investment in railroad
lands were also afforded, and again
orou1issory notes were signed. But
the day of reckoning came too soon.
"when the grasshoppers which
svept over that region had finished
tbefr work Of destruction verftable
desert remained where brief time
before there were acres OF waving
Grain. 1t was estimated that not
twenty-five percent OF the oat crop
was left; the corn fields had sunered
equally. while the wheat in many
places was reported to be an utter
failure"

Increasing exports Of horses and
mules for the European war are seri-
ously depicting the American supply.
Prices are advancing and, in the
opinion of Editor Myrick of Farm
and Home. bid fair to be high for
several years. Every good mare
should be bred, for horses and mules
can hardly fail to be profitable for
years to come. 1t is true that the
use of mechanical power in agricul
ture is increasing rapidly. but the
vast number of autos has not de
creased the number of horses, and
they were higher even before the wal
demand. Horses and mules. sheer

by urging prompt remittances by

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.

The longer on this earth we live,
And weigh the qualities of men,
The more we feel the high stern fea-
tursd beauty,
Of plain devotedness to duty.
Steadfast and still, nor paid with
mortal praise,
But finding amplest recompense
For life's ungarlanded expense
In work done squarely and unwasted
days.
