IN MISSOURI.

Whenever you meet
A stranger here,
You should fill him with
Missouri cheer.
Walk up and greet him
And quickly say:
I'VE are glad to see
fou ont this way"
Go on and tell him,
Here's where yOn rest,
All things considered,
Missouri's best" =
And also tell him,
Though You are late,
There's lots of room in
This grand old state"
A man who gets lonesome,
Who starts to roam;
You want to make him
Feel right at home.
Just pause and tell him,
"NOw here's my hand,
A welcome, friend,
To the Promised Land.
The brand of friendship
Without alloy
Is what is needed
And yieldeth JOY.
So, greet the stranger
And say, Hello!
This is as far ns
YOu need to go"
In life be friendly
With those You meet,
And always scatter
The sunshine sweet.
Remember life il
SO often sad,
And that, If cheerful,
Im make it glad.

Grow Egyptian Cotton.

Say, you fellows down in the Impe- rial section, where you have the linn itless fertilizing waters of the mighty Colorado to draw upon at will, why don't you stop trying to raise stuff that can be raised in thousands of other places just as well as you can, and go to raising something that can not be raised but in few places in the United States?
 What is it?
 Egyptian cotton, to be sure.
 Now we expect you to ask what Egyptian cotton is; whether it differs from any other cotton: how it is raised; where the market it; what it is worth; what it looks like. and 'steen other questions.
 But you may as well save your breath for you will want it all when you tackle job to chop cotton. In the first place, we don't know but mighty little about Egyptian cotton. We never were introduced to that kind. But We remember reading in some consular report-don't know which now-that a good many millions of dollars worth of Egyptian cotton is imported into this country every year. And there is an agricultural department circular somewhere that says that Egyptian cotton doesn't grow worth shucks. Then here comes along an Arizona paper that says it has been tried in the Salt River valley and it was a success.
 Now, you fellows, get a hustle on and find out about it and make the experiment this season n-RedlandS Citrograph.
 We have Egyptian cotton on the list for the Imperial farmers. It will come in due course of time.

Feeding on Alfalfa.

Last Friday Req Bros. the South St Paul feedehs, shipped from this point 4000 head of three-year-old wethers which were as fine lot of sheep as ever left the State. the aver age weight per head being 12S pounds.
 Some time ago the Rea Bros. decided to give the question of fatten- ing sheep on alfalfa a thorough test and accordingly they purchased several thousand head of wethers among which were those mentioned. They were three-year-old Cotswolds and Cotswold grades and were fed by J. w. and c. A. Bailey, who had 2523 and Robert Vestal who had 1500. The Bailey lot averaged 127 3-4 and the Vestal lot 129 pounds. The sheep were turned over to the men at a cost of two and one-half cents pound and were to be delivered on January 15-a period of sixty days-at three and quarter cents pound. Towards the latter part of December it was discovered that the hay would run short and as ,he sheep then showed up in excellent condition the Messrs. Req accepted them about twelve days ahead of the time agreed upon.
 During the time they were fed the sheep consumed about four pounds of hay a day, the Messrs Bailey feeding out 300 tons and MT. Vestal propor- tionate amount.
 These sheep are the same of which mention was made in these columns a few weeks ago as being fed for export
 on screenings for forty days and are expected to increase in weight at the

Result of Irrigation.

The Colusa Sun after quoting an article from the Imperial Press rela- tive to the ability of this settlement to supply feed for Southern California, says:
 The above is from the Imperial Press, published where but couple of years ago there was nothing grow ing but the yucca and the cactus No living creature but the horned toad. A corporation rubbed up the old lamp Irrigation" which summoned the geni Prosperity" and city and life and energy took the place of "Desola- tion!" And now it talks confidently of supplying all Southern California with feed for stock in dry year!

rate of half pound day per head and will then be exported.
 All parties to the deal are highly pleased with the results. The Messrs. Bailey and Vestal realized about $10 a ton for their hay and the Req Bros. will net nice profit.
 Both the Messrs. Bailey and Vestal are we'll fixed to care for feeders in the matter of sheds, water, etc, and the coming season will SOW much larger acreage to alfalfa so that next winter they may have ample feed for such feeders as they may take in. They say that had these sheep been fed the full sixty days they would have shown gain of not less than thirty pounds per head.-Big Timber Pioneer.
 This is the result of feeding alfalfa in cold wintry country. What would it be in balmy country like Impe- rial?

They Want Land for Colonization.

County Recorder John F. Forward has received letter from Warner & Andrus, St. Paul, Minn., requesting information regarding land desirable for colonization purposes. The con cern say that they are looking in other States and will invest where the best inducements are held out. and where the best bargains are offered. The conditions are somewhat exact ing. For instance, they desire agri- cultural farm land, something located we'll as to market and that will pro- duce crops without irrigation; the land must be free from stones with good soil and subsoil, land that could be put under cultivation and made to produce crops the year in and year out without fertilization; level land or land that is unbroken or rough. In quoting prices they ask that MT. For ward give legal numbers with par ticulars in full and bottom prices San Diego Union.
 If those Eastern enquirers after California land that is desirable agricultural land, something located well. as to market, and that will pro- duce crops without irrigation" land that is "free from stones, with good soil and subsoil" and especially "land that will produce crops year in and year out without fertilization" would come out west they would know more than they do now. They failed to mention barbed wire fence around the land but we presume that is understood. Land that can be cropped eternally and not fertiized must be very peculiar land. These gentlemen, we presume, will also want a bank account against which they can etern- ally check without making any as the other. They evidently don't know yet lat irrigation is cheaper than rain, for they desire to depend on the uncertain clouds-a program that no one would desire who knows anything about irrigation.
 Those men had better take a short cut for Heaven-if they can get a through ticket, for they are evidently hunting for something that will be found-if found at all-beyond the confines of this earth. They ought not to spend any time or money hunt ing for what they are after in this world.
