The hands crack- ed open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off. I had often heard of cures by the Cuticura Remedies, but had no confidence in them as I had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen three doctors, but got no relief. Final- ly my husband said that we would try the Cuticura Remedies, so we got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the one cake of Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment It is surely a blessing for me to have my hands well, and I am very proud of having tried Cuti- cura Remedies, and recommend them to all suffering with eczema.

No one can be happy, light-hearted and healthy with a body full of blood that cannot do its duty to every part because of its impurity; therefore, the first and most important work in hand is to purify the blood so that every organ will get the full benefit of a healthy circulation. There is no rem- edy+so good as that old family rem- edy, Brandreth’s Pills. Each pill con- tains one grain of the solid extract of sarsaparilla blended with two grains of.a combination of pure and mild vegetable products, making it a blood purifier unexcelled in character. One or two taken every night for awhile will produce surprising results.

The new settler in an irrigated dis- trict seldom appreciates the import- ance of preparing the surface of fields so that they may be cheaply, easily and properly watered. Crops in an arid climate are as a rule good or bad, according as they have received the proper amount of water at the right time, and when the ground is left so rough and uneven that water can not be evenly applied the effect ls shown in the reduced yield. The preparation of the land is a first cost, and if done thoroughly during the first or second year little expense need be incurred afterwards. The dif- ference in cost between a smooth, well-graded field and one which is poorly graded, and rough may not ex- ceed $5 per acre, yet this sum is often lost in one season by diminished yields due to imperfect watering, caused by a rough, uneven surface. Thorough preparation of the surface applies with particular force to a crop like alfalfa, which grows years after year from the roots, and which is cut from three to six times each season. But the preparation of land for ir- rigation should follow the building of supply ditches. While this rule is fre- quently disregarded it will be found better to grade land in conformity to CROSS GECTION OF BiNCH CEMENT FLUME : ' The margins of supply ditches on most irrigated farms are the breed- ing ground of weeds. The seeds of these fall into the water and are widely scattered by the irrigating stream. The banks of ditches should be graded and smoothed so that the weeds which grow along the sides can be readily cut and burned. A rapid- growing forage crop like alfalfa also tends to keep down the weeds and may be sown along the banks for this purpose. In laying out supply ditches an en- gineer’s level and rod are the most convenient instruments. The dis- tances may be estimated by pacing. When such instruments are not avail- able, a useful substitute consists of an ordinary carpenter’s spirit level at- tached to a portable wooden frame, a sketch of which we show. When first made and placed on a level surface the bubble should be in the center of its run. Then one leg is shortened by the amount of the grade per rod (see table of grades). The device is oper- ated by one man, who first places the shérter leg at the surface of the water in the main canal or supply ditch and swings the other end around until the bubble comes to the center. The lo- cation of the longer leg is then marked by a helper, who .carries a oa FLOODING FROM DITCHES AN WB RUNNING i. | DOWN STEEPEST SLOPE GRADER HOMEMADE LEVEL A GROUP OF IRRIGATION TOOLS AND METHODS.

It is a mistake to build ditches for the lower }part. of a farm and then-in after years, when there is a desire to irri- gate the remainder, to. be obliged to build a second series of ditches for the higher land. Sufficient water should first be conveyed from the canal or other source of supply to the highest point and from there dis- tributed to the yarious subdivisions. In laying out these permanent ditches an effort should. be made to locate them along field or fence boundaries, if possible, in order not to obstruct the passage of teams and implements in fields. When the grade is too steep to permit this a curved location through fields should be | chosen. These curved locations for supply ditches can be so laid out as to add greatly to the beauty of an irrigated farm. They become the margins of fields, by the side of which lanes. are graded, fences built, and shade trees planted. While the plan of locating supply ditches around the ‘margins of square or rectangular tracts is per: haps more convenient for farm opera- tions the curved lines produce a more pleasing effect. It often happens that a farm is more or less cut up by ravines or de- pressions which intersect or separate fields, and the supply ditches have to be extended across these low places. This is usually done in one of three ways. When the depression is not more than a few feet deep levees are built on each side; in other cases flumes are built.on grade from side to side, and, lastly, the water may be carried across in a pipe laid in the form of an inverted siphon. The earth levee is the cheapest, but it is subject to leaks and washouts for the first few years. The wooden flume answers the purpose well, but it is subject to early decay, and the clay or cement pipe lafd beneath the sur- face, although dearer in first cost, is really the cheanest in the end. me attached to three lower metal wheels cutting blade is 5% feet long, 20 inches or lowered by means of a hand wheel, utting off. the knolls the machine is driven to the nearest low place, where it ring out head ditches after being plowed. laterals are ‘usually located ‘on a grade inch to the rod and are spaced about, 75 feet apart in alfalfa fields. wn Steepest Slope.—Laterals may be ex- diteh.

The level’ is then car ried forward until the shorter leg oc cupies the position. -vacated by. its mate, when .a second mark is, made. ; This operation is repeated. until the line is laid ont and a furrow is run connecting all the temporary marks. Tracts which produce native grasses, low cacti, rabbit brush, and the’ smaller forms of brush can be readily plowed without first removing the larger plants. Such land should be plowed deep, the larger growth af- terwards. removed and the surface thoroughly harrowed, graded and smoothed. In plowing for the first time two acres is a fair day’s work for a man and three horses, and the cost of removing the larger plants sel- dom exceeds 50 cents an acre. Tracts which produce tall, coarse sagebrush from three to five feet high, in clumps | from four to eight feet apart, with more or less nutritious grasses grow- ing in the open spaces, are more dif- ficult to put in shape for irrigation. The methods used to remove native vegetation of this kind in the Yakima Valley, Washington, are described by Prof. O. L. Waller in the Report of Irrigation and Drainage Investigations for 1904, and the following brief de- scriptions of methods employed and estimates of cost have been obtained chiefly from that source. The brush is first railed by dragging a 60-pound rail from 12 to 16 feet long across and back over the same strip in opposite directions by hitching a team of horses or mules to each end. Some- times the rail is bolted to a heavy tim- ber. Others use a chisel-sharpened plow-share steel bolted to a 12x12 inch timber and dispense with the rail. The loose brush is then gathered into wind- rows or piles by a brush rake and burned. These rakes are made either of wood with teeth of round oak or pine joists or of steel and resembling a strong 4nd heavy self-dumping hay- rake. The brush which is not. torn out by the rail is grubbed out with a mattock. The cost of removing and burning a heavy growth of brush in the manner just described is about $2.50 per acre.
