THE weaving Of the child is a per.
fectly natural event The process Is
Of two kinds, voluntary and en-.
forced.
The enforced weaving of a child is due
to many causes. First, the insuffciency Of
the maternal supply, which is the most fire.
quent. Second, illness or accident may de-
prive the infant Of its mothers milk.
Third, and this is happily infrequent, the
characterize the mothers milk is so altered
in some way as to be insufficient for the
child or to cause illness.
In regard to the time Of weaving there
is considerable difference Of opinion.
Looked at from the standpoint Of nature,
it appears that an infant should not be
weaned until the mechanism for mastiCat-
ing food is developed. This rule would
require q child to remain at its mothers
breast until fifteen or eighteen months Of
age. This is undoubtedly postponing the
weaving Of q child longer than is neces-
sary or. desirable.
On the other hand, the voluntary wean-
ing Of q child at seven or eight months
when the mother is perfectly able to nOur-
ish it longer represents the other extreme,
In my opinion, infant welfare would be
promoted If the age of weaving should
average about a year.
The milk which is selected to take the
place Of the mothersmil in normal wean-
ing or in enforced weaving is of the high
est Importance.
In this country the term milk implies
the milk Of a COW There are some reasons
for preferring the milk of the goat The
especial reason for this is that the goat is
rarely afflicted with tuberculosis. On the
other hand, the COW is peculiarly suscep-
tible to this disease

the old question as to whether bovine
tuberculosis can be conveyed to the human
animal. The evidence that this is possible

the course Of greater safety. The COW or
the herd which supplies the. milk to be
given to an infant must be free from this
terrible disease.
The milk used for infant feeding should
be as much like mothers milk In compost
tion as possible. Cows milk has about
twice as much protein in it as mothers
milk This is the chief difference between
the two. The content of fat and sugar In
the two milks is approximately the same.
There is a perfectly simple and easy
method Of modifying cows milk to make
Il resemble that Of the mother. It is i'm
Dortant that every mother know how this
is done, but not every mother has access
to a doctor or a book to tell her how. The
following is the method to be employed:
Assume that the bottle Of milk intended
for the, baby holds a quart AS soon as it
is received at the home It should be placed
In the ice box for from six to eight hours.
The top part of the contents Of the bottle,
which by this time contains most of the
cream, is carefully decanted until a pint
has been drawn of.
To this pint, containing most OF the
cream, a pint of pure water is added. 1t
is advisable to have the water freshly
boiled and cooled. Two or three teaspoons
of milk sugar are also added. It is advis-
able to have this sugar previously dis
solved in the pint of water.
The mother now has a quart Of modified
milk. suitable to all infants Of from six to
nine months of age. For younger infants
"a correspondingly less quantity Of milk
should be used. and for older infants a
-cOrrespondIngly less quantity of water
should be used. When the child reaches
an age of from fifteen to eighteen months
it may gradually be changed to whole
milk
