Producing Sanitary Dairy Products When milk is produced from cows in * normal state of health, it is pure and provided the dairy is kept in a proper sanitary condition and the udder of the cow and the hands of the milker carefully cleansed before milk in<. Milk is one of the most wnolesome and cheapest of all animal products, and it is an article with which every farm home should be abundantly sup lied. since it may be easily obtained and will go further in the nutrition of the family than almost anything else which the farmer can provide. Milk is also one of the most easily 'on taminated of all products with whicn man has to deal and trouble in this di rection is generally aggravated by the indifference .and carelessness of the cow owner. Milk may be contaminated in a great variety of ways, but among the most potent causes is the use of improp er food. For instance, such strong smelling things as rape, ouions and tur nips give milk a most unpleasant odor and taste. If the cow be milked and then fed. however, there is much less likelihood of the milk having an un pleasant flavor than if fed Immediately before the cow is milked. When a cow is diseased the milk is likely to be affected. Tuberculosis, for instance, may be transmitted through a diseased udder to human beings and other borines as well. Every cow should be examined carefully, therefore, to see that she is in a perfect state of health. While one may be deceived occasionally. It is not a difficult matter as a rule to tell whether a cow is in a normal condition or not. Carelessness in hand ling the milk may result tn the trans mission of .yphoid fever, for the germs And a splendid media In which to grow once they gain access to milk, and un leas the utensils and hands and cloth ing of the milkers be carefully disin fected and a pure supply of water used, the disease is likely to gain a foothold in the dairy and may be the cause of transmitting typhoid fever to the con sumers of the milk. The milker himself should be a cleanly person and should see that his hands are clean and the udder of the cow washed off before ever any milk is drawn. This Is a matter of the utmost importance. Filthy cow yards and stables in which manure and dust are abundant should be avoided. Certainly where this condition pertains undesirable forms of bacteria will get into the milk and will multiply very rapidly The stable should be clean be cause milk absorbs odors very readily, and naturally -4t is impossible to <eep milk sweet and wholesome in a filthy stable. Unsanitary dairy utensils constitute one of the most certain means of caus ing undesirable ferments and the growth of unfriendly bacteria in giilk. Too much emphasis can not be laid on the necessity of washing dairy utensils thor oughly. and so cleansing them by propei sterilisation after washing as to leave them sweet and clean and free from odor and dirt of any kind. A dairy must. USES BUGGY . TEN YEARS Alabama Man Says His Ve hicle was in Constant Use —Wants Another Talladeca . Ala. W. J Carprater, writer: “I beogbs a boasp trwai rw abort tea yee-e a<o.

Washing dairy utensils in unclean water or that containing germs of disease is a suicidal policy. Milk should not be left in the stable after it is drawn, but should be removed immediately, run over a cooler, bottled and put in the ice box. The sooner this is done the more com pletely will undesirable ferments be kept out of it and their development checked if they gain access to it. Thus, the contamination of milk may be brought about in a great variety of ways, predominant among which are fooo flavors, though this is the exception rather than the rule. Second, visible dirt which is common and observable everywhere; third, bacteria, which though present in Immense numbers in the air of every dairy stable are not observable, and unless the man handling the cows and the milk is well acquainted with their insidious ways of working and the results of their energy, he may under estimate their effect altogether. It is Important that every one dealing with milk, therefore, have some understanding of bacteria and be able to recognise the results produced when they are pres ent in the milk in any considerable quantity. Many are unable to under stand why food flavors are transmitted to milk. The cause of it is due to a volatile oil which is eaten by the ani mal and is transmitted to the milk se creting glands. While there is no satis factory remedy for such flavors, milk ing just before feeding, as already sug gested. will minimize their effect. The number of germs obtaining access to milk may be greatly lessened if milk ing it done where the surrounding air is ppre and free from dust. This should not be a difficult matter to arrange if the dairy stable is properly construct ed and situated. The first few streams of milk should be rejected, and the milk should be strained through several thick nesses of cheesecloth into a thoroughly clean and sterilized vessel. While every precaution must be taken, therefore, against undesirable bacteria finding access to the milk, these orga nisms are of the utr».ost importance in the manufacture of certain dairy prod ucts. For instance, butter of a whole some and desirable nature can not be made without their aid. They are iluo essential in cheese making, though, of course, if undesirable forms find theii way into the milk, bad butter and cheese will result. It undesirable forms of bac teria gain access to tjie milk, they can be controlled or destroyed' by pasturix ing the milk at a temperature of 160 de grees F. It must be held at this tem perature at least forty minutes and then chilled immediately thereafter. Thia treatment destroys the most dangerous forms of bacteria. Milk can also be sterilized which means heating it to the boiling point and holding it at this Tem perature long enough to destroy all forms of germ life. Cooking the milk, however, gives it a peculiar flavor which to many is unpalatable, and also cause: a coagulation of the albumen which it> undesirable. It is true that some chem icals may be used to destroy bacteria but their use is only to be condemned for they’ probably interfere with its di gestion. and therefore endanger the wel fare of the consumer. Cleanliness and cold constitute th£ most satisfactory means known of producing a wholesome milk supply, whether it is to be used for Lome consumption, or handled in a com mercial way or manufactured into but ter or cheese. e e e MIXING COTTON MEAL AND HULLS TOR COWS. F. C. C., LaGrange, Ga.. writes: We hare installed a machine for mixing cotton -eed meal and hulls with the idea of sell ing them already mixed and sacked in the proper feeding ration, but before making any of thia feed we desire your advice as tc the protein the feed should contain. We will appreciate any suggestions you care to give us. In our experience cotton seed meal and hulls have made a very good ra tion for dairy cows, though, of course, a succulent food, such as silage, should be fed in association with the hulls and meal. In other words, hulls should not be depended on as the sole roughness. When succulent food is fed with the meal, better results are always obtained than where it is fed with dry feed, and this is due to the fact that the succu lent food helps to keep the digestive system of the cow in a better regulated condition. Silage ,as you know, makes an excellent substitute for grass and may be fed in Georgia for eight or nine months of the year with satisfaction. Some years ago we tested a feed made by grinding the hulls up fine. We ex perience a good deal of difficulty In get ting the animals to eat it and found it rather unsatisfactory. We have found it more satisfactory to feed meal and hulls in their natural condition, that is, without grinding together About one pound of meal should be fed to three or four pounds of hulls. In some instances as many as five pounds of hulls can be fed to advantage to unusually large eaters. Os course you understand that dairy cows vary much in their natural requirements as influenced by Individuality, size and breed. We do not think it advisable to feed the average dairy cow, weighing 800 to 1.000 pounds, more than three to four pounds of meal per day when it is to be fed for long periods of time. A row will probablj- eat from' fifteen to twenty-five pounds of hulls in a day. In some instances, with large cows, five pounds of meal can be fed. The exces sive use of meal, however, is wasteful and might tend to derange the system. • • • KAMODKG A BZMBKIgE, H. P., Orrum N. <?„ writes: I wish information about a Berkshire sow that 1 have. Part of the time h-r pigs are dead and again ehe will only have two « three. She run- on a rye (nature in the spring and a grass pasture in the summer nnd fall and is fed on corr snd wheat middlings. You do not state how old your Berk shire sow Is or how frequently you have bred her It is possible, of course to have bred her too young, and to have reduced her stamina and consti tution thereby. This might account In part for her giving birth to dead pigs. We are inclined to think, however, that the trouble is due to other causes. The sow should be exceptionally well nour ished and should be fed on foods con taining an abundance of mineral mat ter. Corn alone is not a satisfactory ration for a brood sow. and rye pasture along will not sustain her properly. A sow such as you describe should be fed very liberally and there is noth ing better than middling and corn in the proportion of two parts of the for mer to one of the latter. This mix ture fed as a Uug slop will THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEtKLY JOURNAL, Al LAN! A, GA., bKiUAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1916. be found satisfactory. Overfeeding is to be avoided, but underfeeding is equally objectionable. We would ad vise that the sow be given all she will eat readily of this-' ration and given the run of a pasture. She should be induced to take as much exercise as possible, and should be given clean, well-bedded sanitary quarters. There is no objection to her running on a rye pasture insofar as we know, though it is possible that abortion might result therefrom, owing to the fact that rye sometimes contain ergot. If attention to these suggestions fails to remedy matters, we would dispose of the sow. • • • TKE CAUSES OF BLOODY MILK. J. A. S„ Lamar, S. C., writes: I have a nice young cow with second calf about nine months old, and for the past two days there has been an appearance of blood in the milk. The milk clabbers all right. She has plenty of green feed and some dry feed. Will you kindly inform me m hat is the trouble and what I can do for her? . An injury to the udder may cause the bloody milk about which you in quire. A sudden blow often produces a result such as you have observed. There may be no evidence of contusion on the outside of the udder," and you may not be able to ascertain how or when the blow was received. Sometimes when cows are fed on richer food than they have been receiving heretofore, the cir culation is greatly stimulated and the milk will be more or less bloody for a few days. A condition of this kind may arise also during the period of oestrum. Sometimes if the milk froths up and shows a pink tinge it is the first sign of what is known as redwater. This trouble may also result from eating acrid or irritating plants like the Ranunculaceae. A tubercle or tumor in the udder may also cause the trouble. If madder or logwood have been eaten there may be a reddish tinge or sedi ment in the milk. If the milk becomes red after drawn, it is likely due to the Invasion of the udder by certain bac teria. The treatment will vary with the cause. If the glands are badly con gested, give one pound of Epsom salts, and dally thereafter one-half ounce of saltpetre with a dram of chlorate of potash. Bathe the bag with hot or cold water, and rub with camphorated lard. If the food is very rich or abundant reduce the ration somewhat for a few days. • • • TREATMENT FOR LUNG WORMS IN HOGB. C. A W.. Commerce, Ga.. a rites: I have a bog that makes on unsual noise. It seems to suck Ita breath back like it was choking. It has been this way for three months but seems to be getting worse. It ate heartily up until about a week ago. It will weigh about 3AO pounds. I feed this bog mostly on corn and slop from the kitchen. I wculd like to know what to do for this bog. It is of course dlfficut at times to diagnose a trouble such as is affecting your hog without an opportunity to see the animal. If you have interpreted the symptoms correctly, however, we judge your hog is more likely to be suffering from Infestation with lung worms than anything else. When attacked by these parasites, however, hogs usually fall away in flesh and present an unthrifty appearance, though this is not necessarily true in all instances. Most animals are sub ject to violetat fits of coughing and strangling. When this condition arises frothy mucus containing small thread like worms one-half to one inch in length are frequently found in the mu cus expelled from the mouth. Examine any mucus which you may observe care fully and see if you do not find these worms. There is often difficulty in treating this trouble successfully. When the ani mkls are fat and in good condition it is generally best to butcher them. The meat is not injured as use for food. Os course where you have more than one animal the well ones should be separat ed from the sick ones. Two methods of treatment can be followed. One is to place the animal in a close room or pen and fumigate with suphur by sprink ling it on live coals. The attendant should stay with the animals, keeping his head on the same level as theirs un til he can stand the fumes no longer. Then admit fresh air. This treatment should be given once daily for three or four days. There is another treatment which is very difficult in that it requires inject ing medicine into the wind pipe. We hardly think it advisable to outline this method at the present time as it would call for the purchase of a hypodermic syringe worth several dollars. THE COMPOSITION OF PEANUT . MEAL. J. M. M., Savannah. Ga., writes: I would like to know the analysis of peanut meal; that is, bow much nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash it contains per ton. Peanut meal with the hulls ground therewith will contain about 18.4 pounds of digestible protein, 15.3 pounds of digestible carbohydrates and 32.6 rounds of digestible fat per 100 pounds. A ton of this meal will contain 65.2 pounds of nitrogen, 15.2 pounds of di gestible carbohydrates and 12.8 pounds of potash. The peanut kernel without any hulls in it contains 85.8 pounds of nitrogen, 30.2 pounds of phosphoric acid and 13 pounds of potash per ton. Peanut cake from hulled peas con tains 152.4 pounds of nitrogen, 23.2 pounds of phosphoric acid and 20 pounds of potash per ton. I may say that in so far as I understand the situation, peanut cake is seldom placed on the market in a form free from hulls. In other words, we are inclined to think the first analysis given you would more nearly represent the composition and plant food constituents of a ton of pea nut meal than the latter figures. You observe of course that if a peanut cake was made pure and free from hulls it woold compare in fertilizing constit uents with cotton seed meal though in that event there would be only about one-half as much nitrogen and phos phoric acid in a ton of peanut meal as there is in a ton of standard cotton seed meal. • * • HANDLING A IKY BREEDER. P A. C., Milledgeville, Ga., writes: 1 ha*e a eo* that han not calved for three MM, I han a male in the pasture with n<r all summer but do not think abc la with calf, though I am not sure. I would like a remedy for her as she is a fine cow and I hate to sell her for beef. The causes of sterility are quite num erous, and are liKely to be promoted by breeding too young, or from Inherent weakness of constitution. In-and-in breeding practiced to a large extent is a frequent cause of this trouble. Some times the sire is Impotent, and a change of sire is therefore often desirable. Wo advise that you try this suggestion. A cow which has not been bred for three years Is difficult to get with calf for various reasons, one being advancing age. the closure of the openings, and the natural tendency to sterility which is likely to develop through a failure to keep the reproductive organs in use High feeding at the time of conception is a cause of sterility. Cows which are very vigorous and full-blooded should therefore be fed lightly for some time. Various diseases, of course, may ac count for the difficulty you are experi encing. The use of a very saccharine diet is also objectionable. You should examine your cow carefully and see that she is perfectly normal, and If this appears to be the case the dilation of the organs of reproduction may be undertaken and be of some benefit. Oth erwise* you may only proceed along the lines indicated in this letter. If relief is not obtained, we think you will not be able to overcome the difficulty in any other was. OUr Household SOME JAPANESE CUSTOMS. The farmer read a little notice of how the Japanese pet crickets and talking to him about it reminded me that I have not given you a Chat on foreign customs in a long time. How vividly it brought back to me scenes and incidents of my six years over there. Years so full of work and responsibility that 1 did not have time to be lonely. The men and boys catch the black and brown crickets and put them in cages. You would smile to see the cages, just about as big as a quart cup, round and with an oval top. They are made of bambo split to about the size qf ordi nary knitting needles. Any boy who has fished with the crea tures knows how they will fight and how the conqueror invariably eats his captive. I remember the first time that I ever saw a “champion.” He was in his cage, as contented as you please for he had just had a feast. Three men had brought their champions there and he had van quished all of them. Os course they had been rescued as soon as the fight was decided against them. One at a time they were put in and after each conflict the real champion was carefully examined by his proud master, allowed to rest and at it again was set. ‘‘Did I see it?” Oh no, that was for thi men, and when the “Mr. Master,” as the man of the house is called, has guests the ladles keep out of sight. Tea is always served guests, and if there is no maid to take it in then a member of the family very humbly assumes the duty. But in a prolonged affair, like a big (?) fight the box of coals is often taken in and tea is made after each fight, or interval. The Japanese firefly is much larger than our sort and gives a more vivid light. A great compliment is paid one by presenting one with a lump of fireflies. 1 taught the Bible to a class of young army officers, and a lieutenant once brought me a silk handkerchief full of them. The material was the thinnest of silk and the fire shone through like a gem. It was gathered together and tied with a certain gold thread that is always used with special presents. Wa hung it in a dark corner of the piazza and it was beautiful. The next morning some of the girls got a regular firefly cage, made of wire netting, and put them in it. They were fed on a lump of boiled rice. You have seen yellow butterflies over a damp spot in the road? Wall, that’s the way the fireflies took to the cold moist rice. The children used to h/ing me fire flies in very thin paper. Their paper is made from the pulp of mulberry bark, it is much tougher than any of ours ex cept our better grades of real linen pa per. Their cicado (locust), is much larger than the one in this country. When July comes, if several happen to select the same tree, or are neighbors it almost takes the flesh off of a foreigner’s bones, but the Japanese do not possess the same sort of nerves. I’ve seen them brush off mosqltoes about like we do gnats. Sometimes I would be saying a Japanese language lesson and a mosqui to, or several, would be nipping and fly ing around my teacher. It would make me want to get rid of it for her. She would brush it away as casually as a butterfly. I’ve stopped my lesson and said “Please kill that mosquito.” She was a Christian and could afford to kill mosquitoes but the unbelievers dared not for that mosquito might be a rela tive or friend doomed for sins commit ted in a previous life to return as an in sect. But the return to the cicado, the small Loys take a lump of bird lime, a very sticky combination of rice flour and water, I think, and put it on a pole and locate a “singer." By sticking the lump against the limb they catch the fly. When a Japanese is buried one or more canary birds is set free in the cemetery. That is for the benefit of the departing spirit. But as soon as the place is clear of the people who went with the ashes there are swarms of small boys with this Ums and the bird is again in the hands of friends. I never saw a canary flying around, and would not even if the boys did not catch them for the crows are too numerous. Some skylarks, a few nightengales, myriads of sparrows is a good way to mention the small birds of Japan. Crows and pheasants are plentiful. I wish that I might awaken a ‘writ ing’’ interest in birds among the readers of The Atlanta Journal. I know that a great many of you are interested in the birds, but you never write to us of your observations. What sorts are most plen tiful in your community? What bird's song do you hear first in spring an« which is last to leave you? This At lanta Journal not only covers Dixie like the dew, but goes all over the world. It w'ould be interesting to hear of the birds of different states. Cannot we have a bird number? Don’t wait to see what the others are going to do; Just get busy with your own eyes and pen your ideas. Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. Tuscumbia, Ala. ONE DAY’S WORK.

A HELPFUL LETTER. Dear Mrs. Thomas and Household; After reading "The Broken-Hearted Mother’s Letter,” I just must come again. , Such experiences just make me feel, “Suppose I were in her place.” And I must try to comfort. Let me say. dear mother, the old mot to of “Choose wisely and love fondly." always holds good. Again, “Whatever a man soweth. that shall he also reap." Be it the woman or man. I have seen a good many cases where daughters ran away and were married, and where a girl, just for spite of another, married, and reaped Just what this mother is reaping and even worse. Or it may be that her John is one among the hundreds that’s “living now. if so. dear mother, "let him live.” For, as sure as the sun shines, God is not ftsleep, nor dead. He has got His eye on your husband and In due time, when he can least help himself, God will send him his troubles and wttnout comfort or consolation. You rend the Bible for comfort, guid ance and to help you bear your cross. Begin In Matthew, the New Testament, and go on; it will get better and bet- ter. Keep your temper sweet, your per son tidy and as neat as possible. Never say anything wrong about his outside at tractions. God says "vengeance is mine, I will repay.” If you will pray God to help, comfort and guide you and for God to see after your husband’s conduct, that’s all you need do toward 1 it, and risk the care to Him, whose eyes behold the evil and the good. I still say marry for love and love one w’ho has a character and tnough you have troubles, if you do your part and pray, all will copie right. Yours in sympathy, MRS. R. J. FLEMING. Bussey, Ga. . P S.—l am sending the consumption cure straight to Mrs. Burnett. FROM ONE OF OUB FXONEEBS. Dear Household—lt has been seven or eight years since I visited you. I was then a Georgian, I am now a South Car olinian, but I don’t think I will ever love this state as I did dear old Georgia, my native state. I have just read a Broken Hearted Mother's letter and a sad one it is. My sympathy goes out to her, but I do not agree with her in regards to not marry ing for love, surely the happiest mar riages are those where true love really exists on both sides. There are some who rush into matrimony before they are sure that they really and truly love the one they are taking for a life part ner. I think a man s love is harder to re tain than a woman's. After marriage she sometimes has to work many ways to retain her husband’s affections. Dear broken hearted mother, don’t think 1 am trying to intimate that you have not tried to retain your husband’s affections for I am not, but we sometime do things unthoughtedly. Sometimes a poor woman can do all in her power, and hardly be respected in her home, but I think there is as a rule some neglect on our part. Just ask yourself the questions. "Have I done all that I could have done? Have I al ways had our home as attractive as I could when he comes home? Have I attended to my own personal appear ance.” Some women think because they have "landed" a husband she need have no further pride in her personal appear ance, but she makes the biggest mistake of her life. I don’t mean to say a wife should spend a great deal of her time in pressing and neglect her household du ties. I have children and do all my housework, washing and Ironing. But with our work and children there is no reasonable excuse for gross untidiness. Married women must keep up with their husbands regarding perfeonal appearance, manners and attractiveness. I have known a most attractive young lady degenerate into a most slovenly married woman, while the husband remained the same neat person she had admired be fore marriage. Without his knowledge his feelings were undergoing a change and in time he regarded her with indifference, when ,E littlte care on her part could have retained the love she had won. 1 think that after we are sure that we have acted well our part and then they do not show us due respect we should demand our rights and our chil dren’s also. I don’t think a woman should sacrifice all her health, strength and happiness for a man s comfort with no consideration. As a rule a mother has more anxiety than any other mem ber of the family and neither husband nor children will love her any more for sacrificing everything for them. She should be just to herself and not stay at home and work until she feels there is no time for anything else but work. I did not mean to preach a sermon, but I have not said half I wanted to say on the subject. With love to all. Anderson, 8. C. MRS. LEE. Powder Plant Blows Up FAIRCHANCE.

My hus band, G. S. Bailey, and his brother, J. P. Bailey, were at school at Covington from 1836 through spring of '3B; the year of ’3B and ’39 they were at Ox ford while still attending divine serv ices at Coxington under Pastor Steele. 1 barely met President Few, but Dr. Means was guide, philosopher anu friend. 1 would like to hear trom some family who had pupils at Oxford ir. those days. I have the Virgil my hus band reau there, together with the Latin dictionary of 2,000 pages. Faithfully yours with the other war mothers, MRS. M. E. BAILEY, Oakland, Route 1, LaGrange, Ga. BEMXNISOENCES OF MBS. M. E. BAXLEY. I am told you request articles from oldest citizens. My granddaughter, Miss Margaret Bailey, of your city, will be my amanuensis. I was born in Greene county January 4, 1821, and was educated at Brown wood, whose president was Dr. Portlus Brown, an alumnus of Oxford, Eng. Immediately after the closing exer cises of the summer of 1839 I married G. 8. Bailey, just returned from the senior class of Emory college. Two years after this the first rail road was completed in the state. My husband and I were spending some time in Macon. The train ran all day anJ all night carrying men to vote for W. H. Harrison for president of the United States. The train was decorated with a log cabin, hung with strings of red pepper, and we could hear cries of "hard cider!” I sent three sons to fight for the Con federacy, while the fourth, with his fa ther, served at West Point as members of the home guard. I have inherited promise, “thou shalt see thy children's children and peace upon Israel.” Very truly yours. MRS. M. E. BAILEY. Oakland, R. R. No. 1, April 29, 1916. A QUESTION OF MANNBBB. Murry Cross, Ala., Aug. 31, 1»1«. Dear Mrs. Felton, I am an admirer of yours and value your opinions and advice very highly. I am mother of two children and am anxious to bring them up in the way they should go. As you know it has become fashionable to teach children to say, “yes" and “no” and amit the “yes, ma’am” and “no, ma’am." What do you think of it, do you think it ad visable? Will you please tell through the columns of The Journal? Also please inform me who to apply to for a position of census taker or enume rator, if you will I will appreciate it very much. A LOVING FRIEND. REPLY TO QUESTION OF MANNEBS. I think it sounds brusque to say “yes” or “no,” to a question—although yes and no are emniently respectable words to use. The law is perfectly satisfied to accept yes and no from parties on the witness stand. I find that cultured and elegant peo ple in higher latitudes in replying to questions that I ask of them use the following—“ Yes, Mrs. Felton,” or “no, Mrs. Felton," as the case may be. That relieves the brousequeness of the plain yes and no. In southern latitudes where we were accustomed to servants in the house and around—the “yes, ma'am” and no, ma’am,” prevailed and it has con tinued through the years since the Civil war. Children were taught to say “yes, ma’am” and “no, ma’am” — because plain yes and no were account ed stubborn in their attitude to their elders. If I had to make a legal decision on this subject, I would say it is more proper and perhaps more elegant for me to say to a visitor or questioner, “yes, Mrs. Jones,” or “no, Mrs. Smith,” than to say only yes and no. The great majority of northern and western people do say plain yes and plain no, and I expect our “yes, ma’ams’’ and “no, sirs" are considered more or less servjle, when they listen to our conversation. I am glad this question has been presented and it has long been a question of man ners. THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION. How many of our youthful readers know anything about the wonderful Smithsonian institution located in Wash ington City? It is seventy years old and was located and arranged in lMt>. To the majority of our people the “Smithsonian” is supposed to be a museum. But it is not a museum. To use the words of late President D. C. Gilman “it is the greatest auxiliary of science throughout the length and breadth of the land!” It’s origin is ro mantic, for it was an Englishman who founded and endowed it. When a young man James Smithson devoted himself to scientific studies and the science of chemistry appealed to him. He was born in 1765 and died in 1829. He left his property to certain heirs and if they failed to live to enjoy it, he devised and bequeathed it to the United States of America to found at Washing ton City under the name of Smithsonian institution, an establishment for the in crease and diffusion of knowledge among men.” In 1836 this clause of his will became operative and Smithson s legacy was ac cepted by congress. When received it amounted to more than half a million dollars. In 1867 it amounted to $550,- 000. . What induced Smithson to make the bequest is not known. In Washington’s farewell address, we can read the fol lowing: “Promote as of primary impor tance. institutions for the diffusion of knowledge." The president is ex-officio trustee, also vice president the chief trustee. All the secretaries and members of the cabi net, also three members each of house and senate. Every science is represented and any visitor to Washington will be repaid by a visit to the institution. In connection with the library of congress there are two magnificent institutions that rival any in the most luxurious capitals of Europe, namely the Smithsonian and the Librarj of Congress. THE CHILD'S NATURAL NUBSE. It is unnecessary to tell you that the child's natural nurse is its own mother and the material instinct is exceptional ly keen in finding unpleasant symptoms when the baby is manifestly unwell, but the mother who does not nurse her baby and who relies upon the hired baby’s nurse to care for the child soon loses that keen instinct of motherhood, just as every human faculty grows dull by disuse and neglect. Maternal instincts hold no immunity from becoming blunted. Our grandmoth ers who raised large families would not allow a baby to cry and continue crying without prompt investigation as to what was hurting the complaining child. Now adays you find mothers who will not allow their own babies to nurse but must become bottle-fed babies until such a time as they can eat what attracts their appetite and they can cry as long as necessary. I saw some days ago a gooa old-fashioned mother with a strong healthy, perfectly forced, four months old baby. She took a delight in nursing her baby and the little follow “never cried,” as-she informed me and he “was such a good baby.” I said to myself that child has a good start and what his mother owes to him as he came into this world without his own consent and. his parents are responsible and they are giving him his chance to be a well bred man and with his good mother’s milk he will be naturally nourished at her breast and with that milk he will draw in sweet affection for her and it will last through her natural life. If it is beautiful to watch a genuine mother nurse her baby child it is even more de lightful to see a mature man show de ference and affection to his aged mother. She is the one unselfish friend of hit babyhood, and even down to old age. -'■"APE JUICE OB UNFEBMENTED WINE. Bequested Becipes.
