1t is a good thing for boy or girl
to be busy. If a boy has to work a
little out of school hours; let him be
glad that ne is getting in training to
be useful man. And if girl finds
that she must help her mother about
the house or run ON errsDds, she may
do so cheerfully, because she can be
sure that she may be happier and
more contented woman by and by
than though she had grown up idle
with no knowledge of home arts.
Try to busy yourselves, boys and
girls, and yon will always be glad
that you have done 80. The Chinese
have a queer maxim which they
teach to their children. 1t is on this
very subject-that of never being
idle. The maxim says: For every
boy who does not work, and for every
woman who is idle somebody must
suffer of cold and hunger"

William Hossack. just north of the
city. is practically demonstrating the
value of irrigation. He has, with
team and scraper, dug out a pond in
the middle of field where the water
can be led off in any direction, ard
rugged up horse power to an ingene
Gus water elevator of his own make
He has taken a newer drive wheel
and bolted wooden strips onto it TO
make drum wheel, over which runs
rubber belt, the belt running over a
small wheel in the water. Coming up
out of the water the belt passes through
a wooden spout or fiums about 4x12
inches, reaching from the water to the
surface of the ground. On the belt is
bolted 2x4 wooden Stats, about one
foot part, which, coming up through
the fume brings the water up in large
volume. The "spring" or "well" he
has dug down about eight feet, and
has now in the bottom of it sheet of
water 18 inches deep 10 feet wide and
about Is feet long. Mr.. Hossack tells
US the spring will have to be made
larger to supply the great amount of
water the elevator will raise. The
power used is an old fashioned horse
power, such as is used for running a
corn shelter or feed mill. 1t will he
worth your while to drive out and see
this homemade irrigation plant a

Walnut, are preparing to put in a

ting the water from the Walnut creek
which will always assure them a good
supply.
