Porch Cushions.

If you wish to make porch cush-
ions which will defy rain and will
not always be constant source of
worry, make serviceablc bags and
fill them with excelsior. 1t is
cheap and can be bought at any of
the furniture dealers, and some
times in the stores. If the cushions
are left in the rain the excelsior
soon dries when they are placed in
the sun. The covers may be re-
moved, but there is nothing more
serviceable for porch cushions I'M
less it is jute, and this is rather
expensive.

Advice to Young Men.

Remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle pick or a
pen, wheelbarroW or a set of books,
digging bitches or editing paper,
ringing al auction bell or writing
funny things, you must work. II you
look around, you will see that the men
shat are most abet0 live the rest of
their days without work are the men
that worked the hardest. Don't be
afraid Of killing yourself with work.
1t is beyond your power TO do that on
the sunny side of thirty. They die
sometimes but it is because they quit
work at 6 p. N. and don't get home
until a. m. It's the interval that kills,
my son. The work gives you an appe-
tite for your meals; it lends solidity to
your slumbers; it gives You a perfect
and grateful appreciation of holiday
There are young men who do not
work, but the world is not proud of
them. 1t does not know their names
even; it simply speaks OF them as E'old'
tSo-aEd-so's boy De5el3g slAss them;
the busy world doesn't know they are
there. SO find ont what to be and do,
and take off your coat and make dust
in the world. The buster you are the
less harm you will likely get into, the
sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter
and happier your holidays, and the bet
ter satisfied will the world be with you.

Boy for October.

sir, we do things on rather a siZable
scale. Nv seen man on one of our
big farms start out IN the spring and
plow straight furrow until autumn,
then he turned around and harvested
back. We have some big farms up
there, gentlemen. A friend of mine
owned one, which he had to give
mortgage on, and l pledge you my
word the mortgage was due at one end
before they could get it recorded at the
other. You see, it was laid out in
counties.
"And the worst of it is it breaks up
families so. Two years ago saw
whole family prostrated with grief
women yelling, children bowling and
dogs barking. One of my men had his
camp truck packed on seven four-muIe
teams and he was going around bid
ding everybody good-by."
"Where was he going?'
"He was going half way across the
farm to feed the pigs" replied the
Dakota man.
"Did he ever get back to his family 2"

themselves liable to arrest, they might
not be where they now are. But man
is always capable of performing some
foolish stunts only to repent after
wards of his narrow mindedness. To
think twice before you speak is an
apothegm one should place alongside

this particular apothegm is hoary with

THE AREA OF lRRiGA-

Prof. w. H. Olin OF the Colorado
Agricultural college at Fort Collins.
has the following to say regarding the
area of irrigation:
been reclaimed is conservatively esti-
mated as ten million acres. Today
private wealth and enterprise, supple
mented by state and national legisla-
ton and money. are developing mighty
irrigation enterprises which rival In
magnitude and economic value the
Assouan dams Of Egypt or the artif-
cial waterways Of central Europe.
When the enterprises now planned are
completed, they will reclaim millions
OF acres of desert land and truly make
1t blossom as the rose.' The irri-
gated farms in many sections OF the
west are producing the finest quality
Of grain. sugar beets, fruit. hay and
live stock. 1t Is because Of the quality
as well as quantity In acre production
that crop values yield farmers such
profits on the capital invested. The
water flowing from our mountains
outvalues the gold, silver and useful
metals which they contain. since 1t Is
converting. through irrigation, IS and
$40 land into $50. 500 and In some In
stances $1,000 land. Can we not, then,
truthfully say that mountain water
intelligently and judiciously used for
irrigation, is the founder Of homes,
builder of cities. the harbinger Of good
and a benefactor which carries civili-
zation and prosperity wherever 1t goes
in the so-called "Great American
Desert?"
