the leading magazines upon al
most every reading table, and if
one does not take time to peruse
them, he feels that he is far be-
hind the times. Almost every
young lady is interested in intri-
cate patterns of crocheting or 9TH
or fancy work to which she turns
her attention during the evening
hours. All these things tend to
weaken the eyes.
When the eyes ache and become
in1amed, they should be cared for
at once to keep the injury from
becoming permanent. Put half a
teaspoonful of boracic aid in a
cupful of warm water, battle them
frequently and put one or two
trops in each eye with a dropper.
It clears and strengthens them
wonderfully, in fact this boracic
acid solution is unequalled for
soothing and healing diseased
eyes. Avoid walking in the wind.
Those who live in windy prairie
countries suffer more with their
eyes than those who are sheltered
from the wind by timber and hills.
Wearing heavy wells is also inju-
rious to the sight. After the eyes
have been used constantly an hour
or two, close them five or ten min
utes to rest them. One should
plan the work in such way that
il any part of it must be done af-
ter dark, it will be something that
does not injure The eyes. No
greater disaster can befall any one
than the loss of sight, and we
should see to it that we do not
bring it on ourselves.

Busy People Seldom Trou-
bled With Blues.

Work is the best possible anti
dote to woe. When in trouble of
any kind go to work with all your
might. Work when feeling "a
little out of sorts" is a surer cure
than any medicine the doctor can
give you. A busy person is not
often troubled with the "blues."
Busy persons seldom become
misanthropes, anarchists or fire
brands" in the community. There
is nothing better to keep mischief
out of the head than to keep busy
at something useful. The secret
of success in life is to keep busy,
to be persevering, patient and un-
firing in the pursuit or calling you
are following. The busy ones
may now and then make a mis-
take, but it is better to risk these
than to be idle and inactive. Keep
doing, whether it be at work or
seeking recreation. Motion is life
and the busiest are the happiest.
Cheerful, active labor is a bless
ing. Idleness, when long indul-
ged in, promotes grief, and often
selishness. Help such sufferers
by, encouraging them to be up and
doing; rouse them to a sense of
the duties that await them, and
the welfare of others that depend
upon them, and you have done
more to comfort them permanent
ly than you could by many words.
Yet such efforts, to be effective,
should have no touch of harsh
ness or roughness. An old philo-
sopher says: "The FREELY only
shines when on the wing; 80 it is
with the mind. When once we
rest we darken." "What is your
secret" asked a lady of Turner,
the distinguished artist, II have
no secret" was the reply, "but
hard work." And that is the only
secret that will make a really sue
cessful man out of a boy, rich or
poor. Work cures more ills than
all the doctors in the world.

cessary water. This would natu-
rally mean that more deep wells,
which have cotton to be sine qua
non of the rice belt, would BE
sunk on numerous individual pro-
perties. thereby causing a surety
in the production of the crop that
can apparently be attained in no
other way.
The value of deep wells, owned
by farmers individually. has got
ten to be recognized by reason of
the unreliability of water supply
from the small streams that flow
through the rice belt. Farmers,
too, would find it more profitable
to drill deep wells for themselves
and furnish their own water as
needed, than to pay annual 1.-THE

seem that the formation of irriga-
ton companies has reached its
zenith, and from now on will be

Failure in Water Supply for
Rice.
Sugar Planters Journal.

sugar Hlanters journal.
From the rice belt comes the
news of suit entered by farmer
against an irrigation company for
the latter's failure to supply water
to his rice crop as contracted for
this season, which practically re-
suited in the total loss of the crop.
In this particular suit, Geo. w.
Ford vs.. Calcasieu River Irriga-
ton Co., the plaintiff alleges that
he seeded 900 acres with good
quality of rice, and had everything
prepared to produce a crop. Ow-
ing to the irrigation company's
failure to supply water to the crop
as contracted for, it proved a fail
ure, and he therefore claims
$500 damages from the company,
the estimated value of the crop
that would have been produced
with proper water supply.
All rice farmers will watch with
interest this and other similar
suits against the purveyors of wa
ter on which depends the success

try of the State. If for no other
reason than that it would make ir-
rigatiOn companies more careful
as to the amount of land they con-
tract to furnish water to, it would
be of benefit to the industry if
judgment were rendered in this
case in favor of the plaintiff, for
such action would have the effect
of making farmers independent to
a great degree of these irrigating
companies by reason of many be-
ing forced, through reluctance of
irrigating companies to contract
so freely, to find other means of
supplying themselves with the me-

Caring For The Eyes.
Word and Works.

Word and Works.
Our eyes are our most precious
possessions, yet they are often me-
elected and overworked. If our
feet grow tired, we sit down to
rest. When the arms ache from
over exertion, we stop using them
for time. When we have been
sick, we lie quietly and allow ma
ture to build up the muscles, but
quite often We while away the te-
dious hours of convalescence by
reading, never realizing that the
eyes are weak as we'll as the body,
and the sight is often injured. We
sit in a moving train and watch
the landscape, straining the eyes
to take in as much of it as posi-
BILE. There was never a time when
young people found it necessary
to wear glasses and SO many ocu-
lists fiourished.
The abundance of literature
which can be bought at prices that
would have seemed ridiculously
low a few years ago, has helped
to increase the amount of reading
done. Fifty years ago, one or two
papers a week and book occa-
sionally comprised the reading
matter of the ordinary family.

The Midway Method.

Writing from Fort Lupton. in Weld
county, a correspondent says: "As a
grower Of tomatoes for over thirty
years l do not hesitate to say that un-
til one has grown an acre or two after
the midway method he does not realize
the possibilities of this plant. The plat,
whether large or small, is checked off
3 by 3 feet with stake firmly driven
in at each check. Seeds of selected va
rieties are sOwn in well made cold
frames about six weeks before the
plants are wanted for setting out in
the open ground. When the time ar
rives three well grown, stocky plants
are set around each stake in a triangle
II by II by ~ inches. Before the
plants are set the soil has been well
prepared with pillow and harrow, work
ing in plenty of good manure well fined.
The tomato does its best in a soil well
supplied with the mineral elements
such as are so plentiful in our Colorado
soils. The crop is pushed from the
start with all necessary shallow cult.

or even three times after each irriga-
ton or rain. About the time the first
fruit begins to set the vines are en-
circled with a band Of cloth or coarse
Irvine. drawing them slightly in to the
stake. This band, placed twelve or fif.
teen inches from the ground, ordinarily
keeps the fruit from the earth. Some.
times l have varied the plan little by
using two plants to the stake, one on
each side, and having the rows twenty
eight or thirty inches. One acre grown
in this manner will usually produce as
much merchantable fruit as two acres
in the ordinary way. 1t is equally sat
