plants roots can feed upon it,
helps the water to pcrcolate more
freely by loosening the soil to a
greater depth, and destroys the
larvae of injurious insects by ex-
posing them to light and air.
Land is generally leveled with a
drag made of few boards weighted
with iron or large stone, the soil
after blowing and narrowing being
loose enough to work readily into
shape. In their haste to satisfy the
requirements for proving up many
of the settlers have done no more
leveling than was absolutely neces-
sary, causing almost endless trouble
when the water is turned over the
land. AS a result, a number OF
farms are cut by gullies and crops
have been washed out by the water
when beyond control. Even where
the land is not badly washed the
yields are uneven, owing to the
fact that the lower portions receive
too much water, while the knobs re-
ceive barely enough to mature the
crop. Where the leveling has been
properly done, the yields have been
even, and the soil has not been cut
by unmanageable streams. The inn
portance of leveling the land can not
be too greatly emphasized. For a
uniform yield it is essential, not to
speak of the added ease in irriga-
ton and the saving in the length of
laterals required. The average cost
for leveling has been about 81 per
acre. This unavoidable disturbance
of the upper layer of soil, which
contains more or less humus, tends
to make the crop uneven the first
year or two, but will not cause any
lasting injury. Uneven irrigation
is a much more serious detriment.
The cost of marking the burrows
which act as bitches in carrying the
water over the field is generally in
Guided in the contract for clearing,
blowing, and leveling. After the
land hes been plowed and cleared,
the burrows are quickly and easily
made by some form of marker. A
combined marker and roller in use
on one farm gave very good results,
correcting the smaller irregularities
in the surface at the same time.
The burrows, except where The
grade Is too steep, are general,
run in the direction of creates
slope.
The amount of ditching required
depends on the distance of the farm
from the main lateral and the char
acter of the ground surface. Wher
conditions favor, ditching has cos
as low as ST. per acre. 1t has COS
as high as SIS per acre, averaging
btween So and So.
4 Contracts for applying water hav
been made for So per acre for tn
season. The contract usually call
for three or four irrigations, an
above that number being paid fo
extra.

BONI WANTS TIME
COUNT WANTS DELAY IN DIVORCE
PROCEEDINGS,
lane Are Very Numerous and
Some Are for Fabulous
AnnOunts.

Paris, Sept. 21.--While no move has
vet been made by the Counts lawyer.
the attorneys for the Countess de Cas-
tellane evidently anticipate an at
tempt on his part to force delay In
the trial of the divorce case which has
been fixed for October. IT, unless the
creditors attachment caAe is previously
settled.
1t turns out that the bills filed by
the Counts creditors are very numer-
Gus. While the exact total is not
known the amount Is described as
fabulous" In spite of the pre-nup-
Nal settlement, the French law regards
the marriage partnership as making
husband and wife equally responsible
for the household expenses and debts.
The attachments proceedings, how
ever, do not belong to this clAss. They
are almost entirely for money borrow
ed from usurers at ruinous rates and
consequently they could be legally re-
sisted. The count has an advantage
In the disposition OF the children who,
under the law are French citizens and
subject to military service.
He could enter q plea before the
French court that II the children were
given into the custody of the mother
they might be taken beyond the ju-
risdiction of France. Such action II
taken, would doubtless result in the
imposition by the court of restrictions
embarrassing to the Countess in the
future.
If the creditors attachment is set
tied out of court, the count Is not Eek
pected to make defense and 1t Is be-
lieved that the divorce will be grant
ed October IT.

Enforcement OF Eight Hour Law Gives
Impetus to Labor.


washington, Sept 21.-Impetus has
been given to the labor movement In
politics by President Rosevelt's order
directing the rigid enforcement of the
eight hour law. declared Samuel Com
pers, president of the American FED
Grafton of Labor yesterday!
I'VE are much gratified that the
President has issued the order. al
though we conceive 1t to be little
late" said Mr.. Gompers. 1.-THE original
request for the enforcement of the
eight hour law on government work
was mtde by me nearly three years
ago. During the intervening time. l
have repeatedly called the Presidents
attention to the continued violation or
the law and have cited specific IN
stances backed up by affidavits.
On March %. 1905, the President re-
ouested Frank Morrison, of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor to bring to
his attention specific instances of the
violation of the law which he would
refer to Mr. Neill for investigation.
This was done on April 81, with the re-
suit that the order requiring the en-
forcement OF the law was issued yes
terday.
1T certainly will encourage labor 10

campaign. which has been mapped out
In the hope that larger degree OF
justice may be attained.

produced severe itching irritation, and
which caused me great deal of annoy

physicians Of my town. After q thor.
ough examination of the dreaded COM
plant they announced it to be skin
eczema in its worst form. They treated
me for the same for the length of one
year, but the treatment did me no good.
Finally I became Respondent and
decided to discontinue their services.

tire outfit, and after using the-contents

The Review.
If the Bible is a ring of gold, Je-
sus Is its solitaire He is worth all
the rest. In point of fact all the rest
is for Him. All prophets give witness
to Him. They mark stages in the evo-
luton of the ideal life, which is clear
and incapable of erosfon--the life of a
man filled with God.
Jesus Is the unapproached Teacher of
men, not so much for what He said as
for what He was. In point of fact,
what He said, He was. His life is a
Divine comment upon His Divine words.
His own character Is the Irresistible,
irrefutable argument for His dostrine.
incidentally 1t may here be noted that
the true defense of religion still takes
this form. 1t is not a book. but life.
1t is not philosophical statement, but
righteous conduct. Ethical living is
the salt" and Tight" of the world. The
true defender of the faith is armed with
neither pen nor sword He just lives
the good life.
The training of the twelve apostles
taxed the skill and endurance of Je-
sus. The controversy as to which
should be first is an example of the
misconceptions OF which they were full.
1t was a master stroke when He placed
child in their midst And from the
parable, as was His wont. Jesus passed
