these things from experience and he
will learn irrigation the same way.
I Other places have been Irrigating for
years, and there is much the farmer
jof this valley can learn from them,
I but It Is doubtful whether It would be
I wise for him to attempt at the start

in use on older irrigated lands or to
lavishly follow their methods.
The objection to an elaborate sys

ways of irrigating this valley as yet
not dreamed of in their philosophy.
If one's finances won't allow him
to pay a surveyor to stake out the
levels on his land, then let him go
to a hardware store nnd buy the
longest level he can, the longer the
better. At the same place he should
also be able to get n set of Irrigator's
sights or peeps. These should be
placed on each end of the level. Now
he Is ready to go out and get ac
quainted with the bumps on his
land. When he has decided on the
best way to run the water, he can
Mtcb a team to a plow and do some
plowing, following this up with a
scraper, scraping the bumps Into the
hollows. In this work judgement
ought to be used. He should not try
to move one acre Into the next.
On tb market there are all kinds
of scrapers adapted to Irrigation pur
poses, many of them named after the
district in which they originated or
were first used. Fresno nnd Sunny
lde scrapers are examples of this
class, and there are many others.

To reach across low ground, flume
ought to be used by the ditch build

The objection to flume Is that II

building flumes nnd on how good the
work Is done depends how well It
will work, l'so judgment In placing

l or marking out channels not
more than 4 feet apart, n rough sb-d

co'iimonly used. The runners are ad
justable, so that channels can be
made from 1 to 4 feel apart. The
driver stands on the sled to give It
weight, while a little runner Is hung
out on the nlde to mark out where
tlm next channel should come. In
this way the channels are kept at an
even distance. This met hod of
channel making Is used on plowed
ground. On land In crop or when
the channels are far apart, a culti
vator can be used.
The above Is not Intended as a les

by flooding, sub-Irrigation with
pierced pipes, and even of attempts
to Imitate rain, a method which,
wnlle all rtebt for a lawn, Is rather
a poor method for growing alfalfa
or for use In a com menial garden.
Bum Irrigators would advise on the
wny to use the pointed Irrigating
line, and others on bow to handle

Advice, usually, Is (heap, but In
Irrigation valuable. Listen to It.

that eczema Is purely a skin disease,

people suffer with skin disease and

thereby prove they have no diseased

8meary salves cannot reach the

the skin. Ths only way to reach the
