Plant Pumpkins in Corn

Pumpkins planted in corn fur
nish cheap appetizing stock
feed, They should be planted in
June, putting a pumpkin seed in
about every sixth hill. Pumpkins
will affect but slightly the stand
of corn and a large amount of fine
stock feed can be raised, says the
University of Florida extension
division.
Pumpkins are relished by cattle
and hogs. Fed, uncooked and with
the seeds, they act as an appetizer
and corrective of digestive troub-
les. Two and a half tons of raw
pumpkins are equal to ton of
corn silage for cattle.

THIS rs BABY WEEK
State Health Board Advises
Mothers


two purposes in view. First
that the parents may obtain infor-
nation as to the most important
essentials in regard to the care of
the baby. Second; that the com
munity may have knowledge of
the facts relative to the preventa-
bic diseases and deaths, and real
ize the ways in which the babies
should be protected. Of all the
deaths of children under five
years of age, the majority die dur
ing the first year, and one-half OF
these deaths are preventable. The
most hazardous period of life is
the first year.
Proper feeding is one of the
most important things in the care
of the baby. Too much emphasis
cannot be placed upon this sub
ject of food. 1t is well known
fact that a breaSt-fed baby has a
much better chance in the world
than one that is artificially fed
any food given to the infant other
than its own mothers milk is con-
sidered artificial feeding. There
fore, every mother should, if pos
sible, nurse her own baby and as
long as she can during this most
hazardous period, provided. the
mother is in a normal condition.
This is one of the many ways Of
saving the lives Of thousands of
babies.
During the first year, the baby
makes a greater proportional
growth, and the brain increases
more than during any other year
of life. More mothers could nurse
their babies, if they had suitable
care and advice. Too many moth
ers imagine that their milk will
not, or does not agree with the ba-
by, or that they are unable to
nurse them. In the event that a
mother cannot nurse her baby.
what is to be done about it? Elk
perience has shown that fresh
cows milk is the best for artificial
feeding. 1t, of course, should be
as pure and clean as possible, and
from a healthy, well fed cow.
The mother should insist on GER
titled milk and never purchase
milk from open cans, commonly |
called market milk. From the |
Public Health Officers viewI
point, there are only two kinds of !
milk-good and bad. All milk
that is not certified or inspected, |
or that is of unknown origin, is
market milk and should not be
used without being pasteurized. |
me Public Health Officer has ev-
cry reason to encourage the use of |
pure milk and to discourage the |
use of impure milk.
1t has been stated by unques-
uonable authority, that milk is |
responsible for more sickness and |
deaths than perhaps all other
foods combined. This is a Sc
rlous charge against milk, and the

ITALY TO THE ORIENT
=. /. AIR MAIL PLANNED
(By United Press. }

Rome, Italy, Oct. IS. tBy Mail. =
The Italian government has just APP
proved plans for Inauguration OF an
aerial postal and communication SER
vice between Italy and the Orient. F..
The project is continuation OF
the one that already has been of1cl-
ally provided for in France.
The Italian project takes up the
service at Nice and provides for its
continuation to Rome and Brind1si'
from which port on the Adriatic an
aerial line will be established to Vol
Iona, the new Italian naval base on
the eastern coast Of the Adriatic,
and from there on to Salonika.
Trial flights have been made over
the entire proposed line from London
to Salonika, and every detail mas
been worked out. #
It is expected that the entire SER
vice will be inaugurated in the very
near future. For the time being, 1T
will be used largely for carrying
governmental and military dis
patches between the governments OF
England, France, Italy and the allied
base at Sa1onika, but later on may
be developed to such point as to
be able to handle postal service
for the public as well. s:

MOVIES BEING USED
TO TEACH AVIATION

Washington, Nov. So To faciii-
tate teaching of the science of avia-
ton to cadets at our various flying
fields, the U. 8. air service has just
completed series of motion picture
films that are nothing short Of re-
markable.
Some of these were made under
direction of the late Maj. East, who
was killed at Garden City, l.. l., re-
Gently in an. automobile accident,
while others have been made under
the direction of the air medical re-
search laboratory. These films, pho
tographed from airplanes and also
from the ground, depict all sorts of
aerial acrobatics and convey an Idea
OF what the cadet may expect when
he first tries aerial maneuvers The
cadets learn theoretically. all about
the tail sHns from the timesthey en-

they will recognize the tall spin once
they are in it..
