Tenleytown Neighbors Give Octo-

Awakening 20 find her little home In
flames at o'clock this morning. Mrs.
Jane Addison. eighty years of axe. who
lived alone in lonely part OF Murdock
Mil lane. barely escaped with her life
after making a valiant but unsuccessful
EFFORT to save the little sum of money
she had accumulated by years of labor
For hours after the fire she tottered
about the ruins vsinly hoping TO find
some of the $500 she had kept hidden in
her bureau and unconsolable for the
loss OF her money and her home, on
which there was no insurance Finally
a neighbor Induced her to come TO his
home, and there she is now, recovering
from the exhaustion incident to the fire.
Aroused BY the Heat
Mrs. Addison was aroused by the heat
and the cracking Of the blaze in the
dry timbers OF her cottage. Dazed and
almost sunocated. her first thought was
Of the savings which she had gathered
for the support OF her old age,
Hurrying TO the bureau where the
money-more than S5O0-was concealed,
she tried to open the drawer. and as It
did not bulge, she remembered that Il
was locked. The key was in an apron
hanging in another part Of the room
ALREADY IN names.
Frantically the aged woman tugged at
the bureau, hoping 10 break the lock,
while every second the fire gained
headWay. Soon her escape TO the front
was cut on, ana flames were creeping
around the back Of the room.
Then when the heat became unbear-
able and she could see from the re-
hectlon on the trees outside that the
whole house was ablaze, Mrs. Addison
abandoned her savings and struggled
terrified TO the rear door. She wrenched
tered out. A few feet away she fell.
Searched In the Ashes.
In the meantime the flames had been
seen from No. 20 engine house and
local alarm had been turned in Al
though the dremen were on hand a few
minutes later the house by that time
was entirely consumed.
Mrs Addison slowly recovered
strength, and refused to leave the place.
With tears streaming down her cheeks.
she searched the ashes after they had
cooled, trying 10 recover some Of her
money, and with the help of neighbors
and the hremen, a thorough search
was made. The metal parts Of the
bureau were found, but everything else
had been consumed.
Although neighbOrs urged her TO 20
away with them, Mrs. Addison insisted /
upon sitting near the ruins of her home /

of the seed, yet they will drop great percentage
which the hogs will pick up and fatten on.
Both mutton and pork fattened peas are
considered par excellence by packers and curers.
So good is the bacon and hams of the pea-fed
hog that the Pacific Coast market last year CON
sumed almost the total output of the San Luis
Valley. The pea produces tirmer, more streak
ed meat than corn will produce. not so oily and
redder in color 1t is for this reason that the
meat cures better. Last year the pea fed pork
brought 30 cents per cwt more right in the San
Luis Valley than the pork of Iowa brought in
the Chicago market. SO profitable has the feed
ing Of hogs and sheep become that there is no
telling to what extent it will be carried
In 1902 5000 lambs were fed in the valley
In 1905 this had increased to 425OOO.
1t promises to be HALF a MILLION in 1903
These lambs dress about IS per cent while
the corn fed lamb dresses about 81 per cent.
This. according to packers, makes the pea-fed
lamb worth from 50 to So cents per cwt more
than the corn-fcd lamb
One acre of peas should turn off l5 lambs
at profit Of about 81 per lamb, thus giving
profit of SO per acre.
Besides taking care of the brood sows, one
acre should turn off three fat hogs at profit of
Sl5 per head or 50 per acre There is no work
connected with this crop as the animal harvests
the crop.
Besides. the pea takes nitrogen from the air
and enriches the soil in which il grows by inoc-
ulating the same. This combined with the
animal deposit left on the soil. greatly builds it

as those of wheat, oats and barley.
In 1902. the American Farmer offered a
prize for the best acre of potatoes. The San
Luis Valley captured that prize, the yield off of
one acre of measured land being recorded at 794
bushels.
Yields of from $50 to $50 bushels per acre
are common, and net profit of from 500 to
5000 per acre is very easily obtained, even igur-
