Frequent Garden Cultiva-

Frequent garden cultivation is very
essential in seasons of frequent show
ers or heavy rains. Special pains
should be taken to keep the soil mulch
on the surface of tn. garden soil and
thus prevent the weeds from making
start This will require diligence
when showers are frequent and the

rain. Cultivation will also help ten
der garden plants to make better
growth, as air, su1rnine and plant
food are supplied better by freque
cultivation.
Such vegetables as cabbage, cauli-
flower, lettuce and onions utilize to
the best advantage heavy applications
of manure.
Tomato plants respond better to
fertilizer if it is applied and worked
into the row a week or ten days be-
fore the plants are set in. In the

Salt Used To Ex-
terminate Fleas

A great many inquiries are reach
ing the Bureau of Entomology, United
States Department of Agriculture, for
methods of controlling fleas. The work
of the department has shown, fortu-
nately, that the best means of con-
trolling tieas in most instances isNer"
simple. Fleas usually originate in
the basement of the house, or in some
covered place, such as woodsheds an |
stables, to which hogs, dogs, or othar
such animals have access. The rem
edy is to give the basement, shed, or
other breeding place thorough clean
ing, burn the litter, and then sprink.
the floor or ground in the building )
shed with common salt. The salt
should be sprinkled thickly enough
almost to cover the ground and shoul
then be wet down with water, the
specialists say. 1t should not be wet
sufficiently to cause it to run, however
If there are about the place any
houses, cribs, or the like built on piles
so that hogs and other animals can -
under them, salt should be apple l
there. Generally speaking, it is fairly
easy to determine where the fleas orr
ginate, and it is usually such a place
as can be reached by the salt treat
nent. 1t may be. necessary to repeat
the operation two or three times at
about three-day intervals.
Newark post., 1920-05-05

very good arrangement is to have
pen with high sides which can be
draped or padded in such a man
ner as to prevent drafts from
strlcking the baby. The ideal ar
rangement is probably that of a
crib with high sides such as is
on sale at nearly every furniture
or department store. This COM
bines all the advantages of the
pen on the floor and raises the
baby above any possible floor
drafts.
Regarding the treatment of
colds, there is very little that can
be done without advice from a
doctor. A cold is very difficult
disease to treat, but it is a condi-
tion which should not be neglected.
Every mother should have a ther-
mometer and if your baby has a
cold, keep a careful watch of his
temperature and if it goes up to
over 100 degrees be sure and see
a doctor if you have not already
done so.
Colds are contagious. There
fore, if the parents or other men,
bers of the family have a cold, be
sure and keep the baby away from
them. Never use the same hand
kerchief to wipe the baby',s nose,
that is being used by another men,
ber of the family. Even the
youngest infant has a right to his
own private one.
Remember that the best way to
avoid colds in your baby is to dress
him warmly for out of doors, with
sufficient head covering; be sure
that he keeps covered at night
do not let the temperature of the
room get too low at night; keep
him off the floor and avoid contact
with persons suffering with colds

Delaware State Program.
Colds
A cold as we know is caused by
Germs. These germs are present
at all times on the mucous men,
brane (the thin covering on the
inside) of the mouth and nose.
These, however, would not cause
cold, if something did not lower
the vitality of this membrane so
that it could not resist the germs.
The cause of this lowering of vi
+ality is the exposure of some rath-
er large portion of the skin to cold.
Now what are the most frequent
causes of colds in babies? One
of them is the use of the pretty,
lacy, flmy baby caps which are in
common use. The baby on being
dressed for an outing is swathed
IN quantities of clothes, but the
large surface of face and head is
hardly covered at all. Thin skull
caps should be used during the
cold weather, under the ordinary
cap. Another frequent cause is
the kicking off of bed clothes. The
baby is put to bed. The tempera-
ture of the room is from 70 to rs
degrees Fahrenheit. During the
night the temperature falls. The
baby kicks off the bed clothes. In
doing so, he gets up perspiration.
After getting the clothes off, the
skin surface cools rapidly caus-
ing a lowering of vitality and a
subsequent cold. The remedy for
this is to pin the clothes on the
bed, to keep the room temperature
from falling below 60 to 65 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and to provide
sleeping suits for the use of the
baby.
A third frequent cause is allow.
ing the baby to play on the floor
without ample protection from
drafts. This is a particularly bac
nractice. for not onlv is he liable
to catch cold, there always being
drafts near the floor, but there is
always some dust and dirt there
which in a great many instances
carry harmful germs. In arrang
ing a place for the baby to play
during the day, it is often imprac
teal to keep that careful watch
over his movements. which il
necessary if he is allowed to play
on his bed or chair. Therefore, {
