FOR BABY'S BED.
Chaff is greatly to be recommended as a filling for baby's bed. It is inexpensive, and can be bought from a corn chandler's or from some of the large stores. Before it is put in the cover it should be freed from dust and dirt and fumigated. Both processes arc simple and can be done at home. To clean the chaff place a large piece of muslin over a zinc bath or other receptacle and lightly beat with the hands, turning the rhaff" over and over. "In this way the dust is pressed through the muslin into the bath. The chaff is then ready to be fumigated. Place in a large tin in a moderate oven, and turn every few minutes to prevent burning. Chaff is also an excellent filling for baby's pillow. Being firm, the head does not "sink into it, so that over-heating is avoided.
