Give in winter all the cut clover your hens will eatâ€"and they'll eat a deal of itâ€"and make them scratch for the grain in big heaps of litter, and my word for it, you'll get. eggs, says a writer. I have been surprised to find how largely green grass enters Into egg production. My Brahmas go out and graze much like a flock of sheep, and come in with craps distended. and that, too almost wholly with the green grass they have eaten. A very little grain in addition keeps them laying finely.

AN ACTIVE EMPEROR. ~‘u. x 9.5151,? g! 1 ‘_ OOO“MOO¢OOO“QOOOMO‘OO: Care or Baby in iaummer. It is small wonder that so many ba- bies are cross during the hot, sultry summer days, when one staps to consid- er the care, or rather, lack of it, that is given the helpless little beings. Of course babies are cross sometimes. no matter [how carefully fed and well tended, but a perfectly healthy child Spends most of its time in blissful dreams or perfect. content. A baby slhouyld always be clean, and this is a rule without exceptions. Who can help loving a clean. white, sweet smelling baby, and wfnat other duties are more important tlhan proper atten- tion to the infant's physical welfare? Nothing should interfere with the baby's daily batthy if he is able to have it, and clean clothes should be put. on lhim every day. Great care should be taken in guarding tlhe little one from droughts and colds. "His tiny shirts should be of the softest white wool, and it is safest to keep wool on him winter and summer until Uhree or four years old at least. If his dresses are about, soft woolen stockings are neces- sary, long enough to reach well above the knee. and pinned so they will not slide down. Young babies Should be fed regular- 1y everry two hours. As Uhey grow old- er the time between feeding periods may g-radmally be lengtlhened. An in- fant should be given no food but milk. Its stomadh can digest nothing else, and when it does commence to eat. oat-. meal or other prepared grains and btread are given it as tihe first solids. The dishes. bottles and other utensils used for feeding tlhe baby should be kept scrupulously clean and sweet. No one can afford to risk injuring the health of the little one by neglect in tthis particular. ‘It is always best if the baby is so well cared for that no medicines are necessary. but fibers may be times when tlhey alre imperative. Keep ‘tlhe infant's general {health good and lhis system in perfect order; this will prove nost satisfactory. If a cool. comfortable place is pro- vided for the little one to sleep in he will rest better and longer flhnn when heat and flies are permitted to annoy.

Never let a morning pass without giving the little one a re- freshing bath. In very hot- weather many mothers have tried giving their babies Sponge bailhs before putting them to bed for the night. They say that the little ones rest more quietly and sleep better for this evening wash. Do not put too many clothes on the babies in hot weaztlh-eu'.

Clhange the baby's clothes daily for cleanliness will do mudh toward keep- ing him good. It is positively pitiful to see helpless little ones improperly cared for. Slov- enly nwrses slip clean dresses over soil- ed and crumpled undercloflhing. They neglect 'Uhe baby's bath and allow the tiny finger nails {to be unsightly. There is also much carelessness in feeding in- fants.
