will drift into the calling natur-
Al to his liking. Many a good
young man has been ruined by
being forced in to a business or
profession not congenial to their
liking, AID thereby fail
either by neglecting tusi-
ness, or drifting to the street
as a common s'bum." Give the
boy a chance to choose his fu-
ture business in life. If he is
inclined to the farm, his choice
is a wise one, insuring reace,
independence and happiness, if
to a profession, his choice will
bring manly struggle, privation
and perhaps success; if to the
shop his success will depend
upon his own effort to win sue
cess; but if they decide to be a
"bum,' their road to the poor
house or Jail is open to them,
and neither the voice of a pa
rent, personal pride, nor the
fear of the law can keep such
a boy in the highway to happi-
ness and prosperity. What then
is the whole duty Of parents to
their boys in this matter? We
answer: Set before them a good
example; give them a good ed

a sound body, and then "G.ve

Along with the announcement of

Along with the announcement Of
the Public Land Conference in
Denver, the news comes from the
west that the sheep and cattle war
has again broken out, this time in
Wyoming. People in the East do
not as a rule know what the sheep
and cattle war is, but it is serious
enough business for the country
involved, and for fatalities and
destruction Of property it is little
worse than a Kentucky mountain
feud. 1t comes over the eternal
dispute between the sheep and
cattle men as to the rights OF the
range. Cattle cannot live where
sheep have travelled, and many
thousand acres OF the best grazing
land OF the west are annually re-
duced to desert by the inroads OF
sheep men on the public range to
which they claim to have as much
right as the cattle men. The clash
of the two interests is inevitable,
and it has resulted in the killing
of many men this season in
Wyoming, and OF over 1900 sheep.
One phase Of the very land policy
of the administration which the
Denver Conference is meeting to
combat, would be the leasing Of
the grazing range and the elimina-
ton Of this death spreading feud.
The President is sending five
federal officials, including the
Secretary of the Interior, to
Denver to talk before the con-
vention. and win them over if pos
sible to his way Of handling the
western land question. One would
think that the recrudescence of the
sheep and cattle war would be a
good argument for following his
advice.

made with an old hand camera.

there were other studies
in the same line he would like to
make. Struck with his genius,
the Institution made him a small
grant for experimental work and

gave him the money to work with.

"Mind Your P,s and o,s.r

There are two accounts of the origin
of the expression. Mind your P's and
Q's." According to one, it arose from
the early method used in public houses
of charging customers for the amount
of beer they had consumed on credit
stood for pint, Q for quart, and as
the scores were settled weekly, it was
necessary for the topper to watch his
P's and Q's.
According to the other story, the
phrase owes its origin to the difficulty
the printers devil has experienced
from time immemorial in distinguish
ing between the lower case P's and Q's
of the Roman type The similarity
between the two letters is so great,
particularly when they are reversed
as in the process of distributing, that
the printers apprentice is always
warned by the foreman to mind his
P's and Q's."-The Sunday Magazine.

on in the Indian press on the subject
of the growing Discrimination of young
officers to undertake the responsible.
ties of matrimony, and the controversy
has raised the question as to whether
the married or the bachelor officer is
the better. On one side it is urged
that yourg married man is keener,
steadier and more reliable than his
less fortunate unmarried comrades,
yet many commanding officers have a
strong objection to their subalterns
marrying, their contention being that
1t detracts from the efficiency of reg
iment if many junior officers are mar

The questions. why should irri-
eating waters be measured ?" and
How can they be measured" are
often suggested to the mind of the
irrigator. Ordinarily, however, they
do not meet with a satisfactory solu-
ton and the matter is deferred to a
more convenient season
There are at least two strong rea-
sons which should urge the owner or
frequent measurements of the guam
tity of water carried in his bitches.
First, without such measurements the
appropriation of water can never make
any definite assertion as to how much
water he actually uses and in the
event of question he can furnish no
satisfactory proof as to his estab-
lished appropriation. In legal cases
involving water rights the evidence
is usually of the most chaotic and
contradictory character, composed of
much prejudiced speculation with lit
tie or no real evidence
The second reason why an irrigator
should know the amount of water re-
ceived through his ditch is because OF
the advantages offered in the manage
ment of his property. The duty OF
water, that is, the amount required
per acre per year or, preferably, pei
month, should be determined. The
| duty of water varies greatly on diff
ferent kinds of soil and with different
crops, and information regarding il
will assist in determining the more
profitable course of farming to be fol
lowed. This argument should appea

Of the various methods of meaSur-
ing water, the miners inch box has
long since fallen into disrepute, and
for good reasons. The use of current
meters is too expensive for general
use, and rating fumes are open to the
same objection, as the rating itself is
difficult and expensive. But in weirs
we have method which is both cheap
and simple.
What constitutes weir? Briefly, it
is a notch cut in the side of wide
board which is then set on edge in the
channel so that the stream of water
passes through it and falls into the
ditch again on the lower side. OF sew
eral forms of notches the trapezoidal
is to be preferred. 1t has level crest
and the sides are inclined to the verti-
cal with slope of one to four. For
example, a 12-inch weir is II inches
wide on the crest and if it be eight
inches deep, the width at the top is 16
inches. This gives the correct side
slopes. An 1S-inch weir ten inches
deep is Is inches wide on the crest
and % inches wide at the top of the
notch.
For measuring a small stream. such
a weir can be made of redwood or
pine board Is inches wide andssix feet
long. The board must then be placed
crosswise of the stream with its ends
held in place by earth and boulders or
by stakes. The following precautions
should be observed:
First.-The weir must be set high
enough to give a free fall of several
inches on the downstream side. This
will back the water upstream for a
short distance. 1t is best, therefore,
to select point on the ditch which
has considerable grade.
Second.-The notch should be
bevelled away from the inner edge SO
that the water shall touch along that
edge and no more. The inner edge
should be carefully laid out and cut
with a sharp tool so as to be smooth
and true to the intended dimensions
Third.-The crest of the weir, that
is, the bottom of the notch. must be
laid level. This can be accomplished
with the aid of spirit level.
