AS COLORADO EDITORS
SEE THINGS
The Colorado Hog Is All Right

There is no end seat hog in Colorado,
but when it comes to the real prize
porker the San Luis valley squealer is
cit" Listen to few cold facts from
the Antonito Ledger:
In January a Los Angeles, Cal, ship
por, hearing of the choice quality of
the uork from hogs fattened on peas
in the San Luis valley, came to Monte
Vista, Colo, and bought one carload
of pea-fattened hogs for trial ship
ment, sending them to Los Angeles,
nearly 1000 miles.
The pork from this trial shipment
had been barely tested by consumers
in Los Angclec, when the quality was
found to be superior to any ever before
sold in that market and the shipper
wired to his Monte Vista agent to send
Immediately twelve ears of pea -fattened
hogs.
These were shipped February %,
and from that date to January l, 105
carloads of pea-fattened hogs-S, 400
valley to Los Angeles, and the buyers
would have taken more if they could
have been secured. About ninety car
loads of this number We're shipped from
Monte Vista and the balance from
Mosca and Romea. The buyers report
that upon slaughter not single di
seased hog was found.
Packers in Portland, Ore, hearing Of
the popularity of pea fed pork in Cali
fornia, came to the San Luis valley
and bought eight carloads of fat hogs
shipping them alive to Portland, nearly
| 500 miles.
In both Los Angeles and Portland
the pork from 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
feed.

A BIG CONVENTION

The annual convention of The Colo.
RADIO State Commercial association will

The convention of the Commercial
association will be one of big affair
and will bring together one of the
most representative gatherings of citi

the association has sent out invita-

The qeustion of finance will not be
discussed at the meeting. No one will

Articles Defy Flames.

Professor Kruger, to test the quail
ties of his fire-defying liquid, performs
number of experiments. A shingle is
dipped in the fluid, allowed to dry, and
then dipped in kerosene, which is ig-
nited. The oil burns and the shingle
is eharred, but its strength and solid
ity is unaffected. Canvas prepared
with the fluid is soaked in kerosene.
The oil burns out and the canvas is
only blackened, except where it has
been heated to a white heat, and flame
lessly turned into ashes. The quality
of the canvas is destroyed by such a
test as kerosene, although it does not
become ignited.
A small stick of pine, heavy with
pitch, after having ben dipped in the
liquid, was placed across flaring gas
burner. The pitch was boiled out of the
wood and burned, the iron of the heater
grew red, but the little pine stick only
blackened and came out of the ordeal
as solid and hard as ever.
A soft pine box was sprayed with the
liquid and then stuffed with papers
drcnched in kerosene. The flames shos
up through crack at tho top, curled
around the sides and semed to be burn
ing the box as paper, but when the fire
had died down the box was only black
ened, otherwise intact.

A NEW INVENTION

That necessity is the mother of in
vention' seems to have found new
proof in the york of citizen of Glen
wood Springs.
Early last spring J. l.. Herwick Of
this city made a trip over the lower
portion of this county and after gazing
on the broad acres of land in the Di-
vide and MANN creek countries still
covered with the native sage brush he
conceived the idea of purchasing a
steam plowing outfit and turning these
desert areas into fertile fields.
Accordingly, Mr.. Herwick purchased
one of the latest improved traction en-
gines with number of gang plows at
tached, capable of turning over several
burrows at time. Then he contracted
to plow lot of land for several diff
ferent farmers and thought he would
make a big black spot, or rather sew
eral black spots in a hurry.
But the parties who built the machin-
cry had not reckoned on the obstinate
character of Colorado sage brush and
when Mr.. Herwick tried the plows in
sage brush soil he found they would
not work, or it may rather be said that
the results were far from satisfactory
Then in order to overcome the diff.
ficulties which he had encountered Mr.
Herwick set his brain in motion, that
is to say he "got wise' and invented
a machine for cutting off the sage
brush just below the ground thus al
most completely eliminating the trouble
with the brush and at the same time
leaving the ground loosened up nicely
% receive a crop.
The new invention consists of stee
plate of triangular shape to which is
bolted the shares that pass beneath tn,
surface and cut the sage brush roots
The mouldboards are removed from the
plows and these plates are attached tt
the regular plow beams that come will
the machine each plow being arranged
| to cut a width of 32 inches and five Of

strip over l2 feet in width.
To the rear and underneath the ma
chine is attached a rolling coulte
which extends about three inches fur
ther in the ground than the rest of tn,
machine and thus prevents the pillow
| from being swerved from one side t,
| the other.
Mr.. Herwick has applied for a paten

machine of the kind in existence, 30 i

office of the Post and is likely lookin,

prove thorough success both for til.

SUBMARINE BELLS FOR
DANGEROUS SHOALS
Operated from Shore, the Sound Win
Travel Through Water to Ship Ten
Miles Away.

Miles Away.
Washington, July 23.--A method has
been perfected to advise ship captains
of the approach of their vessels to the
danger zone, by the use of the sub
marine bell signal in places where the
warning bell cannot be placed on
light ship or lighthouse. The electric
bell is hung from tripod set on the
bottom of the sea on the edge of the
shoal at the required point, and this
bell is struck by mechanism operated
by current of electricity conveyed
through cable from the signal station
on shore. Such station at Point AL
trance to Halifax harbor are operated
through cables over two miles long.
The bell strikes any code that is de-
sired and the sound travels through the
water so that vessels from five to ten
miles away hear the bell and get direc-
tions accurately in a fog or at night
when equipped with the receiving ap-
paratus.
The lighthouse board has arranged to
place these submarine signals on all
lightships not already equipped, in
cluding five vessels nearing completion.
The board also has arranged for electric
shore stations at the Delaware harbor
of refuge and at Detour, Mich, the en-
trance of st. Mary's River and Lake
Superior.
The Canadian government is Install
ing the same bell at st. Johns, Louis
burg and Yarmouth and when the work
now ordered by the two governments is
completed every important harbor in
North America will be protected by
such signals.

c. E. KRUGER
TURNS INVENTOR

Our attention has been called to an
article in recent issue of the Denver
News, concerning the late discovery Of
Carl E. Kruger, the photographer. who
was in G.enwood several years ago. a
splendid likeness of the gentleman also
appears in the same issue. We reprint
the following:
Discoverer Is Carl E. Kruger, Who Il
Also Experimenting in Photography
of Colors.
Spurred to the labor of discovering a
liquid application of which wonld rem
der canvas and wood imperyious to
fire, by the disaster in the Iriquois
theater in Chicago, Professor Carl f.
Kruger of this city announces that he
is nog able to formulate a colorless,
odorless fluid, the presence of which
cannot be detected, at the slight ex-
pense of 10 cents gallon, which rem
ders combustibles with which it comes
in contact, absolutely fireproof.
l'rOIeSSoT hTueStT is IL peIhidu, W
years old, and photographer. He has
been in that business since 1856, when
he began polishing dagnerrotype plates
for his father. At that time it was nee
essary for the photographer to manu-
facture his own supplies, and know
ledge of chemistry was essential. Pro.
fcssor Kruger studied chemistry under
Dr. Vogel of Berlin, and at that time
began experimenting in the protogra
ply of colors. He says he has succeed
ed in catching light red, brown and
blue, with the camera, but will not at
tempt to make pictures for the public
until he is able to take dep red and
yellow also.
