the mother has harder problem. Be-
cause she is out of the range of in
FAINT welfare stations, hospitals, and
often of physicians as we'll, it is most
important to prevent every attack of
illness possible by careful attention to
the baby's food and general care, as
already advised in these articles.
If the baby is still at the breast,
one or two nursings should be omit
ted, and only pure. cool water given
in its place. Meanwhile the mothers
breasts should be pumped at each
drying up.
Bottle-fed babies are much more
likely to be the victims of summer
diarrhea- When this happens, the bot
tie should be omitted for eight, twelve
or twenty-four hours, according to the
severity of the attack. Do not, how
ever, keep food from the baby longer
than twenty-four hours, except on the
advice of a physician. When the bot

and beginning to add sugar. The more
severe the attack has been, the more
slowly should changes be made.
If the baby is on mixed feeding,
that is, partly breast and partly bot
tle-fed, the bottle feelings should be
omitted IL diarrhea appears, and the
breast given once in four or five hours,
with nothing but drinking water be-
tween meals.

From May to October the baby must
be guarded with special care, If he is
to escape the dangers which lurk
about him in the hot days of sum-
mer.
1t is estimated that of the many
thousands of babies who die every
summer. principally in July and Au-
gust, half might have been saved.
since summer diarrhea may often be
prevented with suitable care.
1t is caused, in a large number of
cases, by mistakes in the method of
feeding, or by using impure milk, or
other unsuitable dangerous foods. or
by overheating the baby with too
much clothing.
The careful and thoughtful mother
may do much. therefore, to protect her
baby from this illness, by avoiding, as
far as possible. Its various causes.
Throughout this series of articles,
mothers have been urged to observe
certain simple rules for the health of
the baby in summer. These rules re-
quire:
1. That the baby shall be fed on
proper food in proper quantities at
proper intervals.
2. That he shall have no food be-
tween meals, but shall have plenty of
pure, cool drinking water.
3. That he shall be kept as cool as
possible by fresh air, plenty of
baths, and very little clothing.
4. That he shall be protected from
flies and mosquitoes.
II these rules are faithfully carried
out many cases of summer diarrhea
will be prevented. If. however. the

nothing can be done by the farmer to lessen
the devastations of the Hessian fly to this years
CROP but 1t is nearly time to commence the fight
against the fly to reduce the toll which 1t will
assuredly take in 1916. II the fly is allowed to
lay its eggs by millions on early sown wheat or
volunteer wheat this fall. Millions Of acres will
again be sown to wheat this fall in the area In
which the Hessian fly is now working SO much
damage.
In order to understand the situation fully. 1t is
necessary to know what the fly is like how 1t is
capable of causing such enormous losses and
how II transforms from the egg to the fully de-
veloped insect Comparatively few farmers are
able to recognize this pest except in what IS
known as the 'faxseed" stage which. even then.
is often mistaken for the egg.
There are two generations Of the Hessian fly
each year. one in the fall and one in the follow
ing spring, the latter being the children of the
former. Therefore, II there were no flies to lay
eggs in the fall. 1t stands to reason that there
could be none 10 lay eggs in spring.
In the course OF its development the insect
passes through four different stages. The adult
is small. onglegged. darkcolored fly. very
much resembling small mosquito. The egg Is
very small. long. slender. and Of shining. red
dish color, and is placed by the female fly In
the grooves on the upper surface of the wheat
leaves, both in spring and fall The maggot
matches from the egg. makes Its way down the
leaf and wedges itself between the leaf sheath
and the stalk of the plant. where in some cases
a dozen may be found partly overlap
ping one another. When 1t becomes full grown
its skin hardens. changing to brown. and from Its
form and color II is then commonly known
the 'faxseed." which is the pupa or resting stage
of the insect
Beginning about April /, flies emerge from the
"faxseed" that have passed the winter in the
fall wheat, whether early sown volunteer.
These flies deposit their eggs on the leaves of
the uninfested plants. the eggs hatch into mag
gots in from four to eight days. and the mag
gots become grown in about twenty to thirty
days and then change to "faxseed." This
stitutes the spring generation. After harvest the
"faxseeds" of this generation can be found in
the stubble Just above the ground. or often
higher up where the straw has broken over
While as stated the Hessian fly emerges rom
the "faxseed" stage throughout extended
period of time within the entire of it's distri-
button in any given locality this emergence of
the adults in destructive abundance occupies but
q few days The life of the female after she
makes her way forth from the 'Haxseed" prob.
ably does extend beyond period of five
six days. Thus It is that delay in wheat SOW
ing in the fall until after the flies have appeared
and largely disappeared becomes of such vital
importance.
The first flies of the second or fall generation
begin to issue from the "haxseeds" about the
middle of August and continue to Issue till about

lectlons from Handel's immortal Gre

That anything as pretentious as
this can be offered in town of the
