Smoking a NarGhiIe.

'The narghile is the best instrument
to smoke tobacco through, provided you
use it in the right way" said a man
who knows. "NIost people use it in the
wrong way. They load it with tobacco
and light up with match as though
it was a pipe they were smoking. This
is incorrect, and the narghile so
abused, has an abominaule taste and
odor The right way to use the mar
CHILE is first to dip your tobacco in
water, squeeze the water out and place
the soaked, damp mass in the pipe
bowl. Then you take lump Of burn
ing charcoal and set it on the top Of
the wet tobacco and begin to smoke.
The tobacco itself, you see, is not really
alight; it's the charcoal that's ahght; 1t
is the burning charcoal that eats the
tobacco up. This is the secret Of mar
CHILE smoking And q narghile, smoked
properly, is .delicious-makes, in fact
the very best smoke in the world

Promising For the Tenors.

Three tenors while strolling in Paris
began to talk Of their engagements for
the coming season.
where are you two fellows going:'
asked one.
"I'm going to Rio Janeiro," answered
one of his companions.
$50 am l." answered the other one.
"That's very queer" said the first
speaker, "for I'm going there too"
They then compared notes and, tnd-
ing that the same theatrical manager
had engaged each Of them, they called
On him and asked for an explanation.
81 don't see why any of you should
be dissatisfied" he replied. 1--WE en-
gagged each Of you because l don't want
to be left without 4 tenor in Rio Ja-
neiro. 1t is very probable that before
YOU are acclimated there yellow fever
will carry OFF two Of you, and Wouldn
I be in a nice fix then if l hadn't a
third tenor on hand?'

n~!ial Dec P. 1901. During January I sOwed 16 acres to barley, using about 20 pounds of seed per acre, plOwed in lightly with a gang blow. From the 16 acres 1 cut over three tons of hay Der acre. In May l planted ten acres to sorghum and in July ten acres more. I estimate that the whole will turn off eight tons of cured sorghum per acre. 1 turned in eighty head of cattle on seven acres of the early sOWn, for 90 days which gave them abundant feed for that time. The hay crop on the 16 acres is worth at pres ent price of hay about $45 per acre, and the sorghum about S30. My land and water cost me $975 Der acre. be- ing one of the first purchasers. Very truly yours, J. P. HASKELL.
 Take the statement of F. G. Ravens, for instance. MT Havens has been a
 prominent citizen of Riverside, for many years. He went to Imperial in December. 1901, because he thought it a good place to make an investment. He could not get water on his own place at first so utilized another tract where water could be had He raised prOfitably two crops a year on a DOT tiOn of his land.

Sec. 22-16-13, April 25, 1902, and plant ed 100 acres to Egyptian corn in a manner similar to the method adopted on the leased ranch, and have fully as good a crop now being harvested there. During October I brought in 250 head of hogs from Arizona and now have 150 head in the fattening pens. 1 feed the entire herd of 250 about One-quarter of an acre per day of Egyptian corn. I estimate that the increase per day amounts to 1 :! pour ds each, which at present value of meat represents a value of $60 per acre for the crop. My crop on the 100 acres of leased land, on which I had both bar ley and corn, will give me about $50 per acre. Allowing for unavoidable misfOrtunes to individuals resulting from ineXperience and other causes, I consider $50 per acre low valuation for Imperial lands. Very truly yours.

 How much is the land worth?
 Thomas Beach was one of the first settlers to locate under the Imperial Canal System. moving in from the Val ley lands below Yuma in December. 1900. In 1901. he raised a sorghum crop that sold for $520O. one-half of which amount was profit
 Mr. Valentine Cant came from the Salt River Valley in Arizona. He is a wealthy rancher and stock man whose word is considered as good as wheat all over Arizona. Last month he planted alfalfa and has now cut four crops the first season. His eN- perience with alfalfa. sorghum and Egyptian corn, induces him to say that his experience demonstrates the superiority of this land for producing Iced crops over any he had ever seen either in California or Arizona
 J. P. Haskell formerly of Cuca- monga. San Bernardino county. bought land for $9.75 per acre and the first season produced two crops that yielded $75 per acre.

Sec IT,, TITS R. 5 B. just east of CaleXico. planted 200 acres of barley during January and February, 1902, using about 50 pounds of seed, sowing on the dry ground and simply discing afterwards. I irrigated six times for the crop, and harvested 260 tons of hay in May, which at present market price for hay is worth $2730. In July planted 100 acres of the barley stub ble to Egyptian corn, using 2l pounds of seed per acre at a cost of about 10c. I disced the stubble ground and plant ed with a twO-rOW Challenge corn planter. l am now harvesting the corn, which is averaging about 5000 pounds per acre, worth $25 per ton in

Up to the present time l have cut the al falfa three times and will cut it again now in a few days. During May sOwed 50 acres in sorghum. which will average me at least twelve tons of cured sorghum per acre. In addition l had about 14 acres of Egyptian corn which, as far as I have harvested. will turn off about 5000 pounds per acre All of my land was only disced.
