There are farmers in this valley who are making a good living from fifteen acres of land, but I should judge that a person ought to own about forty acres. to grow a little of everything. This land will produce from s75 to $500 an acre, depending. of course. up- on whether the land is planted to al- falfa or fruits. But when you con- sider that even the staple crop of the north, wheat, will yield forty bushels to the acre here, and that the produce of the south will do as well here as fin the south, and that the fruits of the north and of California grow here as we'll as in California, and on land that costs only one-half as much, then you will partly realize the wonderful fu- ture of this valley.

 I do not intend to mislead anyone by this letter, and I would not advise everyone who owns a good farm, is perfectly satisfied with his conditions and blessed with good health, to sell out and come here to farm. I do be lieve. however. that the average man farming in the Mississippi valley will find that he can take the same amount of money, invest it in lafids here and get larger annual net income. He will have the certainty of having his water delivered as he needs it for the scientific cultivation of his crops, and will not be bothered by either floods or drought.

But the only draw

back was that there was not, enough
 water here for general use; so Uncle

 150 acres.
 In order to tell the readers what can
 be grown here. l will have to be very
 brief. as I do not want to take up too much space in this paper. 1 have been told by old settlers here that a farm CT can engage with profit in fattening and raising beef cattle, dairying. cheese making. the poultry~a and egg in dustN. the raising of ostriches, hog farming. sheep raising, both for nut ton and wool, horse and mule raising. the bookkeeping industry, the raising of grapes, both for wines and the mak- ing Of raisins, berry farming, water melon and -cantaloupe growing. alfalfa raising for hay and seed, and in the raising of wheat, barley, oats, millet. corn, kaffir corn. sugar beets, sorghum, sugar cane. cotton. potatoes, Irish and sweet, all kinds of garden truck and winter vegetables. lemons. oranges. tangerines. grapefruit, dates, almonds. olives, peaches, pears, apricots, plums, figs, prunes, apples and quinces.

POISONOUS PROPERTIES
 OF ILLUMINATING GAS.

The poisonous properties of coal gas are generally attributed to its content of carbonic oxide, especially as no other substance of known poisonous properties has been found in it, and patients suffering from coal gas poi soning show-the symptoms associated with the inhalation of carbOnic oxide, including the peculiar bright red color of the blood From experiments made by Dr. Von Vahlen, at Halle. it seems probable that we must revise this view, For on making experiments with frogs. animals particularly resistant to carbonic oxide. it was found that they were poisoned far more rapidly by coal gas than by the cOrrespond- ing amount of the oxide. Other eX- periments with dogs showed that the poisonous effect of coal gas was twice or three times as great as that of cal, ,onic oxide it contained. Evidently there is some other constituent of coal gas which is poisonous, though what it is cannot yet be stated. Mere ly removing, the carbonic oxide from coal gas will not suffice to render it nOn- -poisonous.-The Ironmcnger.

INKS ANCIENT AND MODERN.

Ink in some form became a necessity
 with the step beyond inscription on
 clay or stone. Dye stuffs were com
 monly used by the ancients. The earliest inks were in the form of pig
 ments held in suspension by some summy substance, either vegetable or animal They were used with a brush or a reed pen. Blue and black have
 been favorite cOlors from the begin Ming, while red was used in the early books and papers for Illuminating capital letters and headings Lamp
 black, very commonly used. was made by the burning of oil, tar or rosin. and mixed with gum or honey and kept in cakes or waters until wanted for use. when water was added, making sticky colored mixture which was used in India and Egypt long before the Christian era. The quill pen came in
 to use about the sixth century. This allowed a greater degree of latitude Tn writing. and the inks were made thinner than those used with brush and reed pens. and were necessarily of a less durable character. depa rting often times from the lampblack and indigo, which were always good Two cen ttiries later the black ink formulas showed marked improvement. India or Chinese ink was really the first practical ink. so far as durability or lasting qualities are concerned This. | having a finely divided carbon as It's base, was to be relied upon, but, being made into cakes and used with a brush. as .Ssed by the Chinese at the present day, it was not suitable for use with any kind of pen. In the twelfth cen 1 tury nut-gall ink was first brought in ! to use. The term .-galI-ink' refers to !, that made from nut-galls or tanpin with iron sulDhate and some gummy vehicle For several centuries this | was the standard used, and many are the documentary monuments standing to its credit. some of the specimens being several hundred years of age. :. written in the original latin and, Span ish, the characters of which still re- tain their pristine blackness.

So I say to all those who are partially broken down in health in the north, and can't stand the cold winters. you can come here. buy small piece of land in this val ley. and work on it. and it will make you good living and pay you good rate of interest on your investment. It will improve'your health. you will grow strong. and should you ever want to return to the north in years to come you will always be able to sell your holdings here for much more money than you paid for it.

Dir Huber then made incision into
the windpipe at the neck. A tracheal
windpipe was introduced into the incision,
and guided by the shadows which X-rays
