man soon gained experience in
burning clearings, and rarely al
lowed the fire to escape into the
surrounding uncut woods. The
great amount of ashes made by
the burning of these trees, logs,
and branches was mixed with the
already fertile leaf mould soil
produced crops in abundance. 1t
was also soon learned that good
crops of Indian corn, beans, pota-
toes and tobacco could be produc-
ed without cutting away the tim

trees the farmer with his axe cut

branches all fell off and the vast

After few years fruits became
abundant. Such fruits as apples,
ounces, peaches and cherries
flourished in the new soil abund-
antly. These were all brought
from the older-settled portions of
Maryland and Pennsylvania. In
like manner many garden vege-
tables, herbs and flowers. There
were many wild, Indigenous fruits
strawberries, mulberries, raspber-
ries, dewberries, blackberries and
huckleberries as well as grapes.
PersimmOns, native product was
also used as fruit. 1t was neces-
sary to allow them to ripen on the
tree, and remain there through
some freezing weather before they
could be gathered. They were
then mellow and fairly edible.
Nuts were abundant. The forest
abounded in game. Deer, bear,
rabbits, squirrels and wild tur-

were sufficient for meat until do

Raising poultry was at first very

REMEMBER BABIES In
The SUMMER SEASON
DR.. r. Fl. Riley Tells How
They May Be Comfort
able in Hot Weather


kept well and comfortable during
the hot weather ore pointed out
in the accompanying bulletin
from the Bureau of Child Hygiene
of the Maryland State Depart
ment of Health:
with the coming of hot wea-
Their, mothers with little children
begin to think of the dread sum-
mer complaint which used to take
a dreadful toll of infant lives,
among bottle-fed babies each year.
It is now well known that large
part of this sickness is caused by
germs getting into the baby's
food. On that account every
mother must be extremely careful
about cleanliness in handling the
food. Bottles and nipples should
be boiled before using. All milk
given to babies under a year and
half old should be boiled for three
minutes if an open pan is used or
for twenty minutes in a double
boiler.
''But even the most careful
preparations are useless if flies
are not kept away from the milk
and from the baby also. Flies are
disease carriers. Keep the baby
in a screened crib if possible. If,
in spite of all this care, the baby
develops diarrhoa or loose bowels
a doctor should be called imme-
diately. The mother who nurses
her baby is spared much of this
worry.
"There are other things to re-
member about the care of the
baby during the hot weather.
Every effort should be made to
keep the baby comfortable. Dress
the baby according to the weather
if it is very hot put on only a
diaper. Many mothers fear that
exposure is dangerous, but getting
the baby overheated from too.
many clothes, is even worse.
Sponging the baby with tepid
water on hot days makes him
more comfortable.
There are two rashes which af--
flict babies in the summer: One
from heat and the other from the
bites of insects. The heat rash is
caused by too much perspiration,
particularly in the folds of the
skin. Insect bites can be prevent
ed if the child is kept in a screen
ed room or porch, or in a screened
crib.
when it is very warm adults
like to drink more water. So do
babies. Give them cooled boiled
water several times day. In
very hot weather babies and
young children, like grown-ups,
have less appetite for food. Don't
force the baby, against his will,
to take more food than he wants.
"There is no need for stopping
cod liver oil, tomato, or orange
juice, during the summer. At one
time it was thought that the oil
caused diarrhea but we know now
that germs in the milk are gem
orally responsible.
"Sun baths should be given to
every baby but they must be done
judiciously. Start with 10 or Is
minutes day and increase the
time gradually as the skin be-
comes tanned. Be very careful to
protect the baby's eyes from the
| sun.
"The precautions outlined above
are not hard to carry out. Follow
ing them will make the baby more
comfortable and may save his

land. Freedom from political and
religious restraint were the prin-
cipal reasons for the coming of
probably the largest number.
These constituted the high mind
ed and in many respects the most
determined element. Others came
into the section searching for
treasure, some seeking invest
ments in land supposed to be adj
vantageously located. These
classes later acquired titles to
their lands through grants from
the proprietor Some also came
not intending to acquire land but
to make living as best they
could by hunting, trapping, fish
ing and working among their
neighbors, establishing homes on
ground belonging to the richer
land holders.
The traffic in natural products,
such as the skins of wild animals,
proved a ready source Of income,
the beaver being the principal
fur sought, because on account Of
it's beauty and warmth it found a
ready market at high prices in
Europe. During the first several
years the trapping of beaver was
one of the principal sources of
revenue, for almost all the settlers
gave it their time during the hunt
ing season when they were not en-
gagged in clearing land and cult
waiting their crops. The sale of
furs provided ready money with
which to purchase necessary ar
ticles, such as fire arms, ammuni-
ton, cutlery, salt, etc., because
such articles were imported from
Europe and which the settlers
could not produce themselves.
Whatever the settlers came for, it
soon became necessary to erect
buildings for habitation and to
clear the land for the purpose of
agriculture. 1t was impossible to
live long on the game of the for
est. Very soon it was found that
grain and the fruits of the earth
were necessary for their susten-
ance They found all the land, es-
pecially that suitable for agricul-
ture, covered with a great growth
of timber. In many of the great
woods the trees covered the
ground with little underground.
Among the largest trees grew the
indigenous grasses. In building
their houses the largest trees
were not used, but the smaller
ones were used, requiring less Ia
Dor to prepare them for building
purposes. The cultivation of rye,
wheat, flax and hemp required
open ground, from which all trees
must be removed. In order to
clear land for these crops all the
trees, whatever their size, had to
be cut away. 1t was soon found
that the best soil for such crops
was in those places upon which
the largest and heaviest timber
grew. Millions of feet of the fin
est oak, walnut, poplar, chestnut,
beech and pine logs were burned
simply because they encountered
the ground. People now think it
was a great waste to cut and burn
such fine timber, but at that time
a bushel of wheat or pound of
flax was worth more than almost
any amount of wood.
In making clearing the trees
were cut and all fe1led in one di-
rection for space as long as the
field was intended to be and as
wide as about the length of a
tree. Then another strip of SINH
