Keep Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with body full of blood
that cannot do its duty to every part
because of it's 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 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.
Brandreths Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

permanent bitches already contruct-
ed than to locate and excavate bitches
to suit land that has been graded and
leVeled.
Farm bitches should be located in
the right place at the start. 1t is
mistake to build bitches for the lower
part of a farm and then in after
years, when there is desire to irri-
gate the remainder, to be obliged to
build a second series of bitches 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 various subdivisions.
In laying out these permanent bitches
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 curved location
through fields should be chosen.
These curved locations for supply
bitches 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 bitches around the margins
of square or rectangular tracts is per-
haps more convenient for farm opera
tionS the curved lines produce q more
pleasing effect
It often happens that farm is
more or less cut up by rayines or de-
pressions which intersect or separate
fields, and the supply bitches 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
fumes are built on grade from side
to side, and, lastly, the water may be
carried across in 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 fiume
answers the purpose well, but it is
subject to early decay, and the clay
or cement pipe laid beneath the sur
face, although dearer in first cost, is
really the cheapest in the end.

IRRIGATION DITCHES-M METHODS
OF SOIL PREPARATION
Much Depends Upon Right Location of bitches and
Thorough Cultivation

The margins of supply bitches 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 lrrigatlng
stream. The banks of bitches 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 bitches 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 carpenters spirit level at
tached to a portable wooden frame,
sketch of which we show. When first
made and placed on level surface
the bubble should be in the center OF

the amount Of the grade per rod (see
table Of grades). The device is Oper-
ated by one man, who first places the
shorter 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 To-

This operation is repeated until the
line is laid out and q 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
forwards removed and the surface
thoroughly narrowed, graded and
smoothed. In blowing for the first
time two acres is fair days work
for a man and three horses, and the
cost of removing the larger plants sell
dom exceeds so 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 diff
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 rallied by dragging 6O-pound
rail from IL to Is 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 heavy tim
Der. Others use a chisel-sharpened
plow-share steel bolted to 12X12 inch
timber and dispense with the rail The
loose brush is then gathered into wind
rows or piles by brush rake and
burned. These rakes are made either
of wood with teeth of round oak or
pine joists or of steel and resembling
strong and 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 $3.50 per acre.

THE TIMBER SUPPLY.

Every person in the United States
IS using over six times as much wood
as he woud use if he were in Europe
The country as a whole consumes every
year between three and four times more
wood than all of the forests of the Unit
ed States grow in the meantime The
average acre of forest laps up a store
of only ten cubic feet annually, where
as it ought to be laying up at least
thirty cubic feet in order to furnish the
products taken out of it. Since 1880
more than seven hundred billion feet of
timber have been cut for lumber alone,
including eighty billion feet of conf
erous timber in excess of the total CO.
niefrous stumpage estimate of the Cen
sus in 1880.
These are some of the remarkable
statements made in Circular 81 of the
Forest Service, which deals with the
timber supply of the United States and
reviews the stumpage estimates made
by all the important authorities. A
study of the circuar must cad directly
to the conclusion that the rate at which
fores products in the United States have
been and are being consumed is far too
avish, and that only one result can fol
low unless steps are promptly taken to
prevent waste in use and to increase
the growth rate of every acre Of forest
in the United States. This result is a
timber famine This country is today
in the same position with regard to
forest resources as was Germany one
hundred and fifty years ago. During
this period of one hundred and fifty
years such German States as Saxony
and Prussia, particularly the latter, have
applied a policy of government control
and regulation which has immensely in
creased the productivity of their for
ests. The same policy will achieve even
better results in the United States, be-

near a white boarding house. This
is no compliment to the colored eX-
hibitors. 1t is to be regretted that
the American white people, that IS
some of them, are so preJudlced
against the colored Americans. II
the colored Americans would only
admit to the white man of the Till
man order that they are inferior to
the white people they would be rec
ognized as citizens no doubt. This
class seems to be so inconsistent,
The colored American is the equal
of the white man in every particu-
lar and in many instances he is his
superior. No respectable colored
person will go to Jamestown and be
insulted by those Southern Crack
ers. The colored Americans have
too much respect for themselves.
Until the American white man can
respect the colored American lei

WASHINGTON AS HE NOW I

| WASHINGTON AS HE NOW IS.
From the Chicago Conservator
Neither Mr.. Washington nor his most
ardent admirers will deny that the peo-
pie had the very best ground for the
long and hard fight which they have
carried on against his doctrine Of sur
render and submission for the past ten
or fifteen years up to within the past
few months.
Nor will those who fought Mr. Wash
ington all these years deny that Mr.,
Washington, in his speeches at least
had made radical changes for the bet
ter. The people have not changed, nor
have they modified their belief that they
should enjoy, regardless Of race, all
the rights, civil and political, nor have
they agreed that it is a part of the
order of good citizenship nor in keep
ing with their ideal of self-respect and
self-preservation to change one iota.
Now that Mr. Washington has come
out fat-fOoted for his people, why not
stand by himf When ne used his great
influence to belittle and betide the real
progress of the Negro, we Justly fought
him; it was our duty and right But
now that he has declared for his race,
We, being part of that race, must ac-
cept his services and encourage him.
We are just as much in debt to the
people today as we were when Mr.
Washington was preaching his doctrine
of submission, and should stand just as
firmly by the people now as then. As
a race we must take sides at once.
