SELVES ily: "but ties were dizzen ?"* proof® 11d BY DR. FLORE Conditions in which babies are born aro nowhere more variable than in our own country. such pictures as that of the baby in the Northern wilds, so buried in snow for many months of the year that even the windows are covered; or of the baby in Southern Ontario with the whole house open to air and sunâ€" shine but where the heat is often oppressive; of the baby in congested salums of a large city where he lives in one room with six or more othq children and adu‘lts and sleeps in a bed with three or more brothers and sisters and has his outings in the arms of an older sister in a crowded dusty street; or again of the baby in an exquisite, wellâ€"equipped nursery of a country home with un‘limited sunâ€" shime and fresh air. And babiss adapt themselves to In thinking of babies‘ varying enâ€" vironments there come to our mind And babics adapt themselves to their environment and thrive under a‘ll these varying conditions We by lieve, however, that healthier, hapâ€" pier babies can be fostered by ho‘lping them in this adaptation. We know that there are certain preâ€" parations which parents can make to provide the best environment possible under given cireumstances even with limited income. In discussing this subject of how to provide & Md enâ€" vironment for babies, we have in mind the rurat home of moderate means. * When a.young harried couple seâ€" lect or build their home it is we‘l to have in mind the children that may live in it. The site of the home should be on high ground where good drainâ€" ago is provided. There should be plenty of sunlight, with also some shade, andâ€"plenty of air space to proâ€" vide good ventilation. The ground should be dry enough to insure a dry cellar which should also be clean. There shou‘ld be near at hand a good source of uncontaminâ€" atod water. No stagnant pools should be in the neighborhood. The plumbâ€" ing should be in the best possible conâ€" dition. Garbage, rubbish, barnyard and huâ€" man wastes should be so disposed of that there is no chance for breeding of flies. The baby should be protected from _ diseaseâ€"carrying insects by screening of the doors and windows of the house in summer. Sleoping porches, so rapidly gainâ€" ing in popularity, provide excellent surroundings for such a nap. They aro usually quieter and less frequentâ€" ed by other children. Plenty of play space for the baby as he grows older is always avallable on the farm and should be provided for in the village. The best room in the house is not too good for the baby. 9 Provision should be made fer the best type of heating available. The house should be far enough away from the road to be fairly free from dust and noise. A porch so located as to be inaccessible to prevaiing cold winds furnishes a good place for the baby‘s outdoor nape. Babics need to be quisct and unâ€" disturbed. Especially in early infancy it is well for the baby to have a.room by himself if that is possible. At all events he should have a bed to himâ€" The heating of the room often preâ€"| sents difficulties A central heating| plant in a house is usually most satisâ€" | factory, but even with a good beatingl apparatus there are often one or moreé | rooms in the house not easily he.ted.; Such a room should be avoided as the: choice of a nursery, for the baby‘s room should be always warm. Even, heating can be accomplished by coa‘. and wood stoves, but this demands closer attention than is often given| to fire tending in many homes. l Open fires are enjoyable and healthâ€" ful in providing proper heat. They whould, however, always be carefu‘ly screened after the baby begins to cresp or walk. Many serious acciâ€" dents have happened because of unâ€" screoned fireplaces. of the day and. where the morning and oveving air is cool or damp, addiâ€" It should be a sunny room, preferâ€" ably with windows on two sides. Winâ€" dows to the south southeast or southâ€" west are. better for sunlight and warmth. Under such conditions the baby‘s room may be sunny the greater part of the day and, like plants, baâ€" bies thrive in sunlight. solf. The temperature of the room should at all times be even. This should be regulated not by the sensiâ€" bilitiecs of adults which are not to be trusted, but by a thermometer placed thres or four feet from the floor. Durâ€" ing the daytime the temperature should be from 65 to 70 de. F. and during the night about 10 to 15 degâ€" reesa lower. Well babies aro easily accustomed to a cool room at night. Oil or gas stoves in the baby‘s room should not be used as a regular heatâ€" ing device but they may be used for temporary service when other heating facilities are inadequate. . Special care shou‘ld bo given to ventilation of the room when oil or gas stoves are In summer the temperature is also difficu‘t to manage, particular.ly in hot weathor. There is usualiy one room in the house which is more comâ€" fortab‘e than others under such cirâ€" cumstances and the baby may be kept in this room. His clothing, of course, should vary to suit the temperature. In portions of the country where warm weath«r prevails in the middle BABIES THRIVE IN SUNLIGHT KEEPING HOUSE FOR BABY i Cross currents are most satisfacâ€" | tory for ventilation.

In addition to the cloth screen here described a standing «creen about five feet high should be used between the window and the baby‘s bed. The baby must also be carefully watched to be sure that he is always comfortably warm. The temperature of his hands and feet are good indications. Do not be afraid of night air. It is often purer than day air even though cooler, and does not harm the baby or anyone else. There should be nothing in the baby‘s room that is not useful and that cannot be kept scrupulously clean. All furniture should be such as will bear washing or cleaning with a wet cloth. _ This means, of course, that there should be no uphoistered furniâ€" ture, no heavy rugs nor draperies nor covers nor useless ornaments. The walls should be freshly paperâ€" ed or painted. P P Warm extra woolen covering shou‘ld always be at hand for ready use. If the baby must share a room with aduwlts it is even more important to see that the ventilation at night is adequate. Where more than one perâ€" son must breathe the air an extra quantity should be available. Mothers sometimes say that‘they or the baby‘s father do not like to s:eep in cold air. It is, of course, better for all adults as well as babies to have fresh air to breathe at night; but if those who share the baby‘s room cannot accusâ€" tom themselves to this good habit the baby should be a.owed to have a room by himse.f with the ample ventilation ho needs. If the room chosen is to be reâ€" decorated for the baby‘s use a waterâ€" proof paper will be found satisfactory or a paint finish that will allow wipâ€" ing with a wet cloth. Such papers with pleasing designs for children are now available in many stores. The figures may often be secured saparateâ€" ly and appliqued upon painted walls, thus adding to the attractiveness of the room and to the entertainment of the baby as he grows to appreciative intelligence. s The floors should be bare and preâ€" ferably of hardwood. If, however, soft wood is the only kind available this may be painted or varnished satâ€" isfactorily or a linoleum may provide an adequate floor covering. Rugs if used should be washable. Shades which regulate the light are all the windows demand. Cloth curtains covering the windows shut out the light. It is not necessary to have eurtains in a baby‘s room other than window shades. Howâ€" ever, cretonne or other attractive hangings at the sides of the window may be used if desirable providing they are washable. It is quite possible with a little time and thought to make a nursery entirs‘y utilitarian and at the same time pleasing to the eye. ~ There are many possibilities in deâ€" corating these glass bowls. gands of black with bright flower borders painted on them are effective. â€" Conâ€" ventional borders of many colors, or, oné can choose a motif from the figurâ€" ed draperies of the room, and make a flower bowl to match.â€"F.

Patterns sent by return mail Control experiments, involving tho: treatment in three series of 5,000 early and late cabbages, with pyre thrum powder and lead and calcium arsenate dusts and sprays, lead to the conyiction that under local conditions dusting with lead arsenate and hyâ€" drated or airâ€"slaked lime in the proâ€" portion of one part to fifteen parts is the most satisfactory form of treatâ€" ment. The dusts were found more satisfactory than the sprays in that they can be moved and applied with the aid of ordinary hand dusters, in oneâ€"fourth the time occupied in sprayâ€" ing. They spread and adhere well if applied when the leaves are wet with dew, whereas sprays to which soap has been added as a sticker have a low surface tension and much of the liquid is â€"«lost in the soil, so says the Dept. of Horticulture, O.A.C. In these experiments calcium nrsen-‘ ate dusts gave less satisfactory reâ€" suits than the arsenate of lead dust, the latter giving perfect cofttrol. Calâ€" cium arsenate applied in the liquid form gave extremely poor results as well as éausing some burning to the foliage. Pyrethrum powder used with four times its weight of hydrated lime proved satisfactory, but can hardly Judging by this season‘s observaâ€" tions early market cabbages escape serious injury and whether treatment is ordinarily necessary or not must be left to the grower‘s discretion. For late cabbages and cauliflowers two applications should be sufficient in a normal season, the first about the middle 6f July and the second four or five weeks later. When the butterâ€" be used on a commercial scale as it costs ten times as much as the arsenâ€" ate of lead dust. flies are very abundant a third appliâ€" cation may be necessary early in Sepâ€" tember. Not only is the purity of hay .a‘ necessity if the trade is to be susâ€" tained, but the requirements of the market as to character must be con-l sidered. Where the demand is from dairymen, clover and alfa‘lfa is usualâ€" ly wanted, points out Mr. W. R.\ White, Chief of the Feed Division of the Dominion Seed Branch. This deâ€"‘ mand comes in particular from areas surrounding large cities where farmâ€" ers cater to the milk requirements. In} the cities themselves there is always‘ a certain call for timothy hay for the horses, and clover and grassâ€"mixed! hays are not wanted. Owing to the greater ‘demand and: higher market price, Mr. White continues, timothy, has been regarded as a more valuable cash crop than other types of hay in districts which are specially adapted to its production. Because of the‘ farm value of clover for general feedâ€"‘ ing purposes, and its lime content, for pasture and as a.soil builderâ€"as well as for the increased yield, the proâ€" duction of cloverâ€"mixed hay rather than straight timothy is common‘y recommended for those areas where clovers can be successfu.ly grown.

The man who has the Spirit of Christ, therefore, will not give way to selfish indulgences. As the apostio guta it: "You, brethren, are called for reedom; only do not make your free dom an occasion for sensual (or inâ€" temperate) living,, but through love seek to serve one another." V. 14. If a man has loveâ€"the love which the Spirit of God sheds abroad in Christian heartsâ€"he has gru_Fed the whole principle of obedience, "The whole law is fulfilled in one word, namely: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." St. Paul is here repeatâ€" ing the teaching of our Lord himself. Compare Matt. 5:43â€"48 and 7:12. One mi‘k pail, made of good heavy tin, will outlast three or four of thin, { poor material he«f VÂ¥, 15. On the other hand, if men give way to selfish and unbrotherly passions, woundin% and undoing one unothe}- by spiteful words and deeds, they fall away from the Christian way of life, and need not wonder if such conduct leads uitimately to their own destruction.

LESSON _ ANALYSIS Are these picnics a joy or are they an added burden to the already busy country mother? The answer to €his pertinent question is really up to mother herself. If a picnic presupposes the packing of huge baskets with fancy cakes and desserts, the tedious making of many elaborate sandwiches and a subseâ€" quent painstaking serving of these dainties, mother is pretty surq to come home faggéd and inclined to dread the mention of another picnic. If your family are real lovers of picnicking they will enjoy the easy picnic, and best of all mother may also find rest and recreation in it. \._To move in summer time to a point ‘inside the range of flight, first move . the bees to‘a point outside of it, or down cellar for a week, then to the | ultimate location. | If the move*is a short one, use a wheel barrow and bump the bees well, | place an object to attract their attenâ€" ‘tion in front of the entrance and change the appearance of the old locaâ€" \tion as much as possible. This picnic dinner was enthusiasticâ€" ally declared the best ever and has been repeatedâ€"with suitable and seaâ€" sonable variationsâ€"many times since. Beet tops and tender young bests are a favorite vegetable combination. Often a perforated basin is set over the kettle top where a simple pudding or brown bread, easily stirâ€" red up at home, is steamed to perâ€" fection. The kettle picnic is well worth a trial.

E. The best time to move bees is in the spring or fall when the weathe?> is coo.er and the homing instinct weaker than in the summer. Moving bees consists not only in transporting them to the new location, but in making them stay there. As bees range two or three miles from the hive in search of nectar, they will, if the new location is within this awrea, likely return to the old home; if, however, it is outside they will remain where placed. The bottomâ€"board and cover should be fastened to the hive body by staples sold for the purpose or by wooden cleats and naile. To close the entrance and give venâ€" tilation, take a piece of wire gauzo six inches wide and as long as the enâ€" trance is wide, and fold it along 4ts longer centre line. Thrust the "V" edge into the entrance and fasten one leg of the "V" to the bottomâ€"board and the other to the face of the hive by laths and nails. + The colony should bé prepared for trapsportation in the evening or early morning to prevent loss of field bees.
