But no such relief will come. We must look In some other direction for THE DESERT. In two great forms of endeavor the United States government Is striving to add largely to agricultural areas of the national domain. Each of them worthy the careful attention of thinking men. On the one hand it is pro posed to reclaim vast wastes and literally to make the desert blossom as the rose by the application of water flowing In ditches and Irrigating otherwise dry sands On the otherhand the agriculturists at the head of the national department seek to wash other portions of other great deserts rdear of the objectionable substances now in the soils that are a preventative of strong vegetation. T. P. Means of the Bureau of Soils of the United States Department of Agriculture Is conducting an agricultural experimental drainage farm in the Salt River valley In Arixona. He says that demonstrations Is better for the farmers than tons of reports and manuela, so experiments are being tried with various crops. Including fruits. Mr. Means says that some of the crops that are common in the valley of the Xile ought to do well In the Salt River valley. He believes Arizona will yet put out a good grade of cotton, but there Is the alkali In the soil that has to first be eliminated. "In reclaiming a piece of alkali land, says Mr. Means, "ordinary drains are laid under the ground and water la applied until alkali In the upper layer of the soil has been dissolved away. After that the problem Is to Irrigate to just such a degree that, while the crops have plenty of moisture, the lower alkali will never be stirred up. If the land Is Irrigated too heavily the alkali that lies deep will be disturbed and then the land will be spoiled. How shall the agriculturist find out Just how much water to place on the alkali land to leach It to Just the right extent? That Is Just what the United States department of agriculture is trying to find out for the farmers' ben' eflt. Wherever there are deserts, generally speaking, there are high temperatures in the season when there are agricultural crops to mature and fruit to ripen. Heat and water with only fair soil, are sufficient to produce rank vegetation. Mr. Mean says that there la a mistaken notion that Egypt is irrigated by turning loose the whole Xile. The greater part of Egypt Is freshened by similar methods as those In use In Southern California. Quite a large amount of Arizona land may be reclaimed In the primary work of the department of agriculture. It is estimated that about of can be irrigated by the present water supply when fully utilized, but still that erea will be respectable as measured by standards supplied by eastern states. ' The Tonto dam which Is being constructed above Phoenix, will supply water for about 200,000 acres. The dam on the Colorado river will lrrl gate a similar area. It Is safe to al low 100,000 acres more to be irrigated by small streams on the Gila river drainage system so that half a million acres of Arixona lands that are no tnste may be turned into farms.

A quick purgative only palliates the case. If the constipating habits remain, the constipation will return. What to the use of giving a physic to a man who has sluggish bowels? If he continues right along to eat too much or to eat Improper food, and continues the other habits that have provoked constipation, his disease to sure to return. Of course, one to tempted always too think of physic, Just as one is tempted to go into a cluttered up home and kick about of the old junk Into the street, but this, like physic, will not cure the complaint The habits of the home should guard The against household constipation. first move should be made by the wife, to whom the following advice 1s submitted: Call the Junk man to your home tomorrow. Persuade you husband to stay at home with you all day. Go over the house from top to bottom. Take away all superfluous stuff chairs, benches, boxes, bottles, papers, old magazines, old clothing, worthless books, everything that Is not needed. Trim It down close. The more you get rid of the better you will be off. Make clean every vacant place that to left by the absence of these things. Put on a coat of paint or varnish or whitewash.
