IAFI'S VISIT GUT SHORT
Secsetary of War Ordered by the President to Proceed to Berlin
 At Once.
WILL LEAVE PHILIPPINES ON SUNDAY

Reports From Manila Say That Mat
 ter of Utmost Importance Is Pending
 In Germany and That Presence
 There oi Secretary Is Necessary
 Immediately.
 Manila, Oct. 31.-As the result of voluminous cable correspondence be- tween President Roosevelt and Secre- tary Taft it is understood that the lat ter will leave Manila on November 2 in order to reach Berlin at the earliest possible moment. It is impossible to communicate with the secretary at present and the officials are silent re- garding the change in his plans.
 It is understood, however, that he will leave here on the flagship Rain bow. Rear Admiral Hemphill received & cablegram on Monday asking wheth- CT or not he could make the cruiser ready to sail on Sunday. He respond ed in the affirmative and was informed unofficially, that a matter of the ut most importance Is pending in Ger. many, and Secretary's Taft's pres ence there is necessary immediately.
 The hasty departure of Secretary Taft will cut short HIS stay in the Philippines one week. He originally intended to leave on Sunday, but re- gently changed Eis pans so as to per init of a longer stay so as to clear up important business. The summons he has received from President Roose- welt will cut short the programme made for his entertainment in Manila. He and his party are due from Baguio Thursday evening when he is expected to attend banquet in his honor given by the American residents of the city.

coast, have increased the already high
appreciation of Colorado consumers for
this pork, and have started farmers all
over the state to raising hogs.
Nearly every farmer in the san Luis
Valley is raising pigs this season, and a
much larger acreage than usual Of peas
has been sown, but there are not
enough farmers in the valley to either
raise or feed the supply of hogs needed.
The valley needs $4,000 farmers who
know how to raise hogs, and II these
come they will find good profits, not
only in pea-fed hogs, but in sheep, cat
tie and grain growing.
The average price paid the farmer
on track in the valley for 2OO-pound
fat hogs has been s13 q head. Good
peas sold in the valley last fall at $6 an
acre, the growers making profit. An
acre Of good peas will make 400 pounds
gain ON fattcniny hogs.

PROFIT FROM H0GS

The Colorado Agricultural College
has been collecting information from
stockmen over the state showing what
profits they are making in the hog bus
mess. A few representative examples
are given:
F. w. Hart, near Denver, put 1872
pigs on eight acres of alfalfa pasture
when they were 10 to IL weeks old.
The area was divided into two fields,
and the pigs changed back and forth,
as they ate the alfalfa down. No grain
was fed. The pigs were sold in the
fall for LOO. They were worth $3.50
when turned on the alfalfa, giving $3.50
returns from the acres.
Sven Peterson, Sanford, sold from
six sows, in 1906, pigs for pork for
$500.
w. H. Vassar, Romeo. bought three
sows with litters of pigs, June 5, 1906.
November 20, 1906, he sold the pigs,
retaining the sows, and, after deduct
ing cost of keeping them during the
summer on TX acres of pasture, had
s52. so profit per sow. This in less than
six months.
G. w. Baer. New Windsor, raised,
in 1906, 165 pigs from Ia sows, at two
litters. The lot we're kept through the
summer on 7T acres of pasture, with
very little grain.
A farmer, near Wray, mixed wheat
with corn and fed to fattening hogs.
He realized 95 cents per bushel for the
wheat. Another farmer from the same
neighborhood sold in 1906, for pork, s24O
worth of pigs raised from one SOW.
A stockman, near La lara, fed his
brood sows, while sucking, all the pea
hay they would eat and no other feed.
The sows became thin from giving an
unusual supply of milk, but the pigs
thrived accordingly. After the pigs
were weaned, they had no other feed
but pea hay. They were sold at 4
months old and averaged 1O2 pounds
each.
The result of our investigations show
that at the present time the Colorado
farmers who are raising hogs, and who
understand the business. are doubling
their money every six to twelve months.
At the same time, we find many be-
ginners, who, having learned of the
large profits made by experienced hog
raisers, start raising hogs without any
knowledge of the business, and they
often lose, and frequently heavily.
Early this spring company in the

sold in that market and the shipper
wired to his Monte Vista agent to send
Immediately IL cars more of pea-fat-
tened hogs.
These we're shipped February q, and
from that date to January lst, lO5 car
loads of pea-fattened hogs-S. 400 head
have been sent from the San Luis
Valley to Los Angeles, and the buyers
would have taken more if they could
have been secured. About 80 carloads
of this number were shipped from
Monte Vista, the balance from Mosca
and Romeo. The buyers report that
upon slaughter not single diseased
hog was found.
Packers in Portland, Oregon, hearing
of the popularity of pea-fed pork IN
California, came to the San Luis Valley
and bought eight car loads of fat hogs,
shipping them alive to Portland, nearly
l 300 miles.
In both Los Angeles and Portland,
the pork from the pea fed hogs was
found to have more delicious flavor,
to be more tender and sweeter, with
the fat firmer than that made from
any other feeds.
Stockmen south of Alamosa made
through the winter, shipments Of pea
fattened hogs to Albuquerque, New
Mexico, the pork meeting the same
favor there that it did in Los Angeles
and in Portland.
Early in June, Los Angeles buyers
were in the San Luis Valley trying to
contract for pea-fattened hogs for de-
livery next fall and winter.
For the year ending June /, 1907,
Is, 1000 pea-fattened hogs were shipped
out of the San Luis Valley one half
going to the Pacific coast and one-haIf
to Denver, Pueblo and the mountain
markets. Denver wants 10O,OOO hogs
a month through the year, and the Los
Angeles shippers state that they will
need 100, 600 head of pea -fattened hogs
during the coming year.
Besides these large demands already
existing, it is the opinion of the best
meat men in Denver, that il a regulsr
supply of pea-fattened hogs could be
secured through the year, that on &C.
count of its flavor, the pork could be
sold at an advanced price to the best
hotels, clubs and private families
throughout the East and South.
These shipments have opened new
era in meat production in Colorado.
They have established a permanent
market for pea-fed pork OH the Pacific

Of the COLORADO Agricultural College

western part of the state, after an in
vestigation of the work of successful
hog raisers, became convinced of the
large profits in the business, and pur-
chased 125 head to start with. The pigs
were bought in small lots from farmers
where they had been fed grain and
given good shelter. They were gath
cred together and the entire lot turned
into an alfalfa pasture where the first
growth was very watery. The pigs
were watered from well, where the
water was strong with alkali. In a
short time all but nine head were dead,
the owners thinking they had died of
cholera.
A successful cattleman decided to 90
into the hog business. He raised $50
pigs this spring and all but l6 died be-
fore they were weaned. He found that
the feed and shelter were all right, but
that the lice were so thick that they
had actually killed 1874 head.
A farmer, new to the hog business,
noticed that in fattening hogs with
peas, a considerable portion of the
grain passed through the animals undi-
gested. He got the idea that if he fed
the hogs concentrated lye, it would
soften the peas IN the hogs stomachs
and make them digestlble. He killed
most of his hogs before he learned that
concentrated lye is not good hog feed.
Examples like these are SO common
that they indicate that farmer who
has not handled hogs should start very
slowly in the business. We would ad-
wise the beginner not to start with
more than five sows. Watch these and
their pigs very carefully. The next
year, if reasonably successful, double
the number of sows kept and increase
the number slowly each year until the
full number that the farm can carry is
reached. Handled in this way, hog
raising will become one of the most
profitable lines on the farm.
A NEW ERA IN COLORADO MEAT PRODUCTION
In January, a Los Angeles, Cali
fornia. shipper, hearing Of the choice
quality of the pork from hogs fattened
on peas in the San Luis Valley, came
to Monte Vista, Colorado and bought
one car load of pea-fattened hogs for
trial shipment, sending them alive to
Los Angeles, nearly 200 miles.
The pork from this trial shipment
had been barely tested by consumers
in Los Angeles, when the quality was
! found " he superior to any ever before
