REST AND SLEEP.
Advice for the Tired Woman.

THE woman of the office or shop has
 more cauSG than the hOuSekcepcr
 to wear ont in days like these.
 The hOuSekeeper should find time for a nap; she can get into loose cloth ing. while the business woman must fight it out until the end of the days work. The tired woman comes home from the office completely Jagged out. She is nerv- 0uS; she finds she cannot rest; she rolls and losses through the night. victim of insomnia. The housewife, perhaps the mother of large family and doing her own hOuSewOrk, should take some little leisure in the middle of the day if it only be for ten minutes Slip away from cares and duties and throw yourself down on lounge or bed for a little while. Try to relax every muscle until your body feels heavy Then try and stop thinking; re- lax your mind; throw off worry. For those ten minutes or half an hour, lie perfectly still. This is the advice of the greatest wOman'S specialist of our time. Dr. R. V. Pierce, founder of the InvalidS' Hotel and Surgical Institute. at Buffalo, N. Y. Furthermore, he says. the woman who is employed in stores or shops, work ing at the highest tension all day. must above all things get good nights rest. A tepid bath and cup of cocoa or warm milk before going to bed, or perhaps a little light exercise, with the window open so that you breathe pure air, will act upon the nerves. quieting them and soothing the tired-Out woman into the first sweet Slumber which leads to a long, restful sleep. If such simple treatment, says Dr Pierce, has no effect on the nervous system, then the woman should resort to some vegetable tonic which will SOOthe the nerves.
 If there is headache, a backache. sen satiOn of irritability or tWitching and un- contrOlla6lc nervousness. something must be wrong with the head or back, a woman

An Astronomers Joke.

Sir Robert Ball, as is we'll known, blends humor with as- tronomy. But once, at least, he was beaten at his own game.
 He was dining with a small company of fellow scientists at Stratford. After the meal he called the landlady of the inn and said: Madam, I am going to give you a lesson in astrono- my. Have you ever heard of the great platonic year, when everything must return to it's first condition? Listen, madam. In 26,000 years we shall all be here again, on the same day and at the same hour, eating a din ner precisely like this. Will you give Us credit until then?"
 Gladly" replidc the landlady.
 'It is just 26,000 years since you were here before, however, and you left without paying then. Settle the old bill, and I'll trust you with the new"

 The boys next-seat neighbor said Johnny had pin.
 ''Take it from him and bring it to me, said the teacher. This was done, whereupon the teacher ordered Johnny to recite his lesson. The boy grinned and sat still.

One days team work in preparing the land and about 32 days, mems tiH1e, were required 10 bring it through, all though the work was not heavy and could have beer largely performed by boys.

TIMELY HINTS
 FOR FARMERS.
P. Ii. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural
 Experiment Station.
University of Arizona, January l5, l.I.7.

January b. INI.
 Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial noOd-p of the Colorado lies a little farm of T.2 acres which on May l. l905 was virgin bOttOmland, covered with saltweed, arrow brush and crcOSotc bushes. The original purpose of the tract was for planting selected varieties of date palms imported by the U. <. Department of Agriculture from the Old World. The Experiment station, May ?. be- gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the work of leveiing, bordering and irrigating the tract and the planting of i52 palms, was completed
 TEE;aa"I.AH OF WORK.
 Recognizing, however, that a farmer with his living to make meantime, cannot afford to wait for an orchard to come into bearing, it was planned tO plant crops for quick re- turns between the tTee-rowS, thus putting the worK on a feasible basis from the small farm CTS point of view. In order 10 econOmZe ground the irrigatng borders were so placed as to coincide with the rows of palms, thus utilizing space otherwise usually wasted. The tract was divided by the borders into lands, for the most part one-haf an acre in size. lrrgating water from the Colorado Valley r. G l. Canal was obtained in the GUS tOnary manner, and +. h. Crane, himself a Yuma Valley Farmer, undertook the care of what was nicknamed our play farm"
 In size, as well as in the intensive character Of the work planned, this farm" is the Op- pOSitc of the average holdings of this locality. The prevailing crops of the region are alfalfa, corn, barley, and forages in general, compara- lively little attention being given to Vege- tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of leVeilng land in this region is high, rarely falling be- low twenty dollars an acre at current prices for labor and teams. Moreover, the cost, cx- elusive of maintenance, of the Govern ment inigating system now under construction will be about S3.50 an acre annually for ten years To meet these and other heavy items of eX perse in connection with the establish rnenJ of a farm ill this region, intensive crops of a more renuneratiVe character than those now in vogue, are essential. It was partly, therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon these financial aspects of the general Situu- ton, that this cultural work was planned.

The soil of our tract, warm, sandy loam well adapted to gardening operations, was leVelled, ditched aud bOi idered at d contract price of &l7 20 an acre, considerably less than tue Nelage for the locality, reckoning the labor of men and teams at current rates. in addition, barbed wire and posts for fencing cost 2GO ljl lumber for headgateS cost S3g 5; a drive well point and pipe, a pitcher-spout pump and a barrel, $l3 45; a small lumber tyYo-roem house. including five and one half days carpenter hire, Sl52.75; and a bFush-roof shelter for horses, about S5 CO., Only skilled labor employed in levelling, bordering and ditching the ground, and for part conStruc- ton of the house, is included in the above estimates, as the common labor required or dinarily would be, and in this case was, fur niShed by the farmer himself
 To bring this ground under cultivation and make it hahitable for a small farmer and his family, as stated above, therefore required a cash outlay of about SI00h0. Jn addition, in the average instance must be included a team, wagon. blow, harrow, having equip nent, ShoveLs hoes and other small tools.

 he produce was marketed in Yuma with the exception of tomatoes, which, for the largest part, were expressed to Tucson and Bisbee. The following statements for the various crops are on the basis of net cash Ie- turns tO the small farmer, who with al. aver age family Of five and b team of horses is as stunned to do the work required. as explained below. Items neceSSitating cash outlay, as seed, irTigaling water, and crates are deducted from gross returns. Water costs an average of 50 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops grown. The yields in certain instances arc low, due to the unimprovcd condition of the soil, which, like desert soils in ge,--tlel, was low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some small salty areas also affected yields locally. White Bermuda onions; 1T acres; Seed planted Sept. 27-Oct. 3, 1905. Young onions trans Splanted, Feb. 5-9 19OG. Crop matured about June |.
