PLAT OF FARM SHOVKG LATERALS,
ncls must be fitted in and the ground
leveled. Theoretically they should be
given sueb a grade as will result in a
moderate velocity for the water, bul
not sufficient to wash the earth along
the sides and bottom cf the ditch.
One irrigator of considerable experi
ence recommends that field laterals
should have a fall of at least ten feet
per mile. The laterals should be lo
cated nearly at right angles with the
direction of the greatest slope of the
land, so that the water will flow from
rather than along them.
If the surface of the ground is some
what uneven, the problem of locating
the permanent laterals becomes corre
spondingly more difficult, often render
ing the use of the-engineer’s level nec
essary. It may be possible to cover
nil the ground by locating the laterals
along the ridges, or there may be high
points entirely surrounded by lower
ground, making it necessary to build
ditches on artificial ridges or dikes to
carry the water to them.
The inexperienced irrigator often con
siders that the ground occupied by the
laterals is waste land because it bears
no crop. Accordingly lie makes them
far apart, so that the water must flow
a long distance to cover the surface
between any two. This usually results
in the overirrigation of that portion of
the crop near the lateral in use. as the
water must be kept flowing there until
the entire surface to the next lateral is
Irrigated.
It will usually pay to do some work
in smoothing off the little irregularities
in the surface of the farim This may
be done with a plank scraper or drag
after the ground has been plowed. The
drag cuts away the higher points and
leaves the dirt in the hollows. This
preparation of the surface is quite im
portant, as it reduces the time and la
bor required in irrigating. A more uni
form distribution of water is also ob
tained, which increases its efficiency.
Theoretically the surface of the ground
should be a plane surface, with just
slope enough to allow the water when
delivered at the highest point to flow in
a thin, uniform sheet.
We will assume that the farm is
planted to such crops as are ordinarily
found in the arid region, say ten acres
of alfalfa, ten acres of grain, five acres
of potatoes, five acres of garden, five
acres of small fruits and five acres of
orchard, as shown on the plat of the
farm.
If it be assumed that there is a fall
of four feet across the farm from north
to south and two feet from east to
west, the water can be made to flow
either west or south from any point.
The greatest slope of the land is a little
south of southwest, and this is the di
rection the water takes if left to itself.
If the laterals are run south from the
main ditch, they will make an angle of
about seventy degrees with this line.
Cleveland, Nov. 74th, 1901. -- A
woman hanging in mid air, scream
ing in agony field ihn gcza of hun
dreds of horror stricken people u h >
hid gathered near the Wright
House on Ontario Street,
Attracted by a slight fire ;n that
vicinity, a number of employees
and others got on the roof of the
very much discouraged and feared
i w. uhl never regain my health.
"I heard of a case similar to mine
which Dr. William’.-. Pink Pills for
Pale People had cured. Then I tie
ermined to try this medicine. Ply
the time I had taken half the see-
• od box I could notice a marked
improvement. The headaches dis
budding to see the b'azr Ida Jaoiz, appeared, tny nerves became slead-
wss one cf the number and, whiie ler and I slept well. I took the pills
looking over the coping, unthink- for a month and after I resumed
coping, , t
ingiy took hoid of a live eiectric
wire.
The shock from the heavily charg
ed wire threw her writhing, oyer
■he edge of th-' roof upon the wire
tad she hung there while the crowd
below locked on, powerless to help.
my work I continued t’.ii I was per
fectly well They certainly did won
ders for me and I take pleasure in
recommending them.”
The above is a pi am, straight fr.r-
ware statements of facts. The h.or
ribie incident occurred-on the even-
PLANK SCRAPES.
Such an arrangement permits the water
to flow away from rather than along
the laterals. The main ditch divides at
A, as shown in the diagram; one branch
runs south to L, while a second runs
west to D, the middle of the north line
of the farm, where it turns and flows
south to M. The field laterals receive
their supply of water directly from
these ditches.
Alfalfa is irrigated by the method
known as flooding, which may be de
scribed as follows: Nearly parallel
ditches, BC, EF, etc., are made 1G0 to
150 feet apart through the field. In the
present case six ditches are made, UG
feet apart, dividing the field into sir
strips. ’

Parsley Honey.
It is very seldom that wc come across
j honey that is not fit lor human con
sumption, but it is just possible that
you may have that experience. Bees
gather honey for themselves, not for
us, and they naturally study them
selves ouiy. It generally happens, for
tunately for us, that what suits them
is also good for mau, but there are ex
ceptions.
The honey that bees gather from
parsley is likely to make man feel very
ill indeed. Probably that honey dues
not disagree with the collector, or it
may occasionally be gathered and plac
ed with the rest by mistake. There is
just the chance that it is done for pur
poses of revenge by one member of the
community who considers himself ag
grieved and vents his spite on his fel
lows.
CemlocA j.-oney may bo innocuous tj
the bee, but it is likely to poison man
and give him a decidedly bad time if
not kill him.
The plant known as green fly w ! !i
yield honey with a taste that will make
a humau being lose ail desire for the
treasures of the beehive.

ATTORNEY’S SALE,
School Director Thomas H. Be l, j j ns 0 f June 17, 1895, and th e story of
was near and saw tiie woman’s ter- j W8S published by the newspapers
ribie predicament. The oniy way { a t tho time. Tho sequel, which
be could reach her was by a win- j known to many and is fold in Mr
.low overlooking Ontario Street,and j Beit’s own words, cannot be doub*
o this he rushed. He climbed out. j {n j He is well known in Cleveland,
and up a tire escape till he was op- j r ,ot oniy through his prominence in
posite the woman, who by this time school matters, but as a hero—ihe
was unable to cry out.
On a level with the roof, Mr. Bril
reached out, and with great effort
raised her from the wire uniil she
was within reach of tho-e above
who lifted her senseless form over
the coping.
But, when the strain was oyer,
Bell’s foot slipped To save himself
from a frightful fall to the pavement
he grasped widely and fell across
the same wire from which he had
just rescued the woman. The shock
rendered him powerless to move
and he hung there helpless .vhile
the silent, deadly current burned
into his flesh. No one was brave
enough to attempt his rescue and it
was several minutes before the c-ur-
reut was turned off, and he was re
moved to a piace of safety.
The woman died but Mr. Bell was
taken to the General Hospital,
where the doctors found him suffer
ing from a very severe nervous
shock in addition to being fright
fully burned. A few days later he
was removed to his homo where he
was confined for eleven months.
During the first three month-; of his
illness it was found necessary to re
sort to skin grafting in order to heal
his wound. His many
friends responded and over three
thousand pieces of skin were used
to cover over the raw flesh. In
speaking of his restoration to health.
Mr. Beil said to and interviewer:
“My recovery from the dreadful
shock, of course, was slow. I suffer
ed untold tortures. My nervous
system was a complete wreck ;I had
spells of dizziness, and when I at
tempted to walk, a numbness came
over my whole body. My sleep was
not at all restful or uatural aDd I al
ways awoke tired out. My appe
tite was poor and at times I suffer
ed from vioic-nt nervous headaches.
The powerful electric, shock bad un
dermined my whole system. Ia
spite of tbe doctor’s care I didn’i
seem to improve. I had been idle
a whole year and grew anxious to
return to my work, but my condi
tion remained so bad that I was
man wo risked h ; s life in a vain at
tempt to save a woman from a ter
rible death.
Mr. Bell’s accident was not one ot
the sort which fails to the lot of
many people but the results that
followed were the same, in kind, as
the many nervous troub’es with
which thousands of persons are af
flicted Oniy in his case they were
unusually severe. His nervous sys
tem was wrecked-almost beyond
repair —and no medicine did him
any good until be tried Dr. Wil
liam’s Pink Pills for Pale People.
They cured him.
These pills have become famous
all over the world for their wonder
ful efficacy in cases of this kind
They have cured when the trouble
was as severe as Mr.Beli’s and they
cure lesser nervous disorders with
out fail. Acting directly on the
nerves and blood, they are an uu
failing specific for such diseases as
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis,
St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the
after-effects of the grip, palpitation
of the heart, paie and sallow

weakness either in male or fe
