feeding. From sixth week to the third month: Milk (top 16 oz.) 12 ounces. Milk-sugar 2 ounces. Lime-water 3 ounces. Water to make 32 ounces. Seven to eight feedings in twenty-four hours; 2-1/2 to 4 ounces at each feeding. From third to fifth month: After this age two bottles of milk are required, 16 ounces being taken from the top of each bottle and mixed. Milk (top 16 oz.) 18 ounces. Milk-sugar 2 ounces. Lime-water 4 ounces. Water to make 40 ounces. Six feedings in twenty-four hours; 4 to 5 ounces at each feeding. From the fifth to the seventh month: Milk (top 16 oz.) 21 ounces. Milk-sugar 2 ounces. Lime-water 5 ounces. Water to make 42 ounces. Six feedings in twenty-four hours; 5 to 7 ounces at each feeding. From the seventh to the ninth month: Milk (top 16 oz.) 27 ounces. Milk-sugar 2-1/2 ounces. Lime-water 6 ounces. Water to make 48 ounces. Five to seven feedings in twenty-four hours; 6 to 8 ounces at each feeding. From the ninth to the twelfth month: Milk (top 16 oz.) 35 ounces. Milk-sugar 2-1/2 ounces. Lime-water 6 ounces. Water to make 56 ounces. Five to six feedings in twenty-four hours; 7 to 9 ounces at each feeding. It will be observed that 16 ounces of top-milk is used to make the various formulas from.

The ordinary milk that is delivered in New York City may be assumed to have stood the four or five hours necessary. This may not be so, however, in the country, as it is frequently delivered there as soon as it is milked. In such cases the mother will permit it to stand in the ice box until the cream has risen. When the mother is about to make the mixture called for in feeding from the third to the fifth month she will observe that 18 ounces of milk is called for. Now since she only uses 16 ounces of the top-milk from one bottle this will not be enough. She
