small lot The hogs made gain
of over 100 pounds for each acre
of peas consumed.
Hogs fed peas alone fatten un-
evenly, some finishing quickly.
while others gain, but become un-
thrifty, showing that diet of this
ons grain does not agree with
them. Denver packers report that
one half the pea fed hogs marketed
from the San Luis valley in 1908
were in an unfinished condition.
There are three reasons for this:
Peas is concentrated feed. rich
in protein, and feeding them alone
to hogs is like giving man beef
steak only. Where the leaves are
eaten with the grain. they help
dilute the feed, and it is profitable
to feed barley or wheat once day.
A few trials indicate that light
daily feed of potatoes or roots is
beneficial for hogs fattening on
peas.
Hogs drink a much greater
quantity of water when eating
peas than they do when given a
starchy feed like corn. When hogs
are confined in a small lot, and
the peas are fed close to a trough
of water, they will take drink of
water between every mouthful or
two of peas. When turned into
large pea fields to fatten. hogs
often have to travel from one
fourth to three-fourths of a mile
to water and they wait too long
between drinks. Most hogs will
travel too much in large field to
finish well.
The peas are often stacked and
the unthreshed vines fed through
the summer to breeding stock and
growing pigs. Sows on this feed
give milk abundantly but become
very thin.
The quality of the pork and the
cheapness of its production merit
wide development in pea feeding,
San Luis valley has tillable area
equal to the entire state of Con
necticut, and if one half its tillable
area was devoted to hog raising,
there could each year be marketed
from the valley over three million
well fattened hogs. The area of
land in Colorado outside the valley
adapted to pea growing is probably
greater than that in the valley.
Barley-This is adapted to every
tilIable section of the state, except
possibly the Arkansas valley. The
feed and mailing varieties of
barley yield we'll in irrigated sec
tions having an altitude of from
5000 to 5000 feet, and bald barley
is adapted to the plains and higher
attitudes. The yield of barley in
the irrigated sections will produce
more pork per acre than will the
average yield of corn in the corn
in the corn belt Barley is pro-
duced at less cost per acre in the
irrigated sections of Colorado than
corn in the Mississippi valley,
The English market is the most
critical in the world for bacon from
barley-fed hogs to the value of
over eighteen million dollars.
Danish bacon from barley-fed
hogs sells on the English market

above the average of the American
bacon from corn-fed hogs. The
high yield of barley, the cheapness
of its production, its adaptability
to all sections of the state and the
superior quality of the pork made

town contracts that had been previ-
ously made.
The Girl from Rector's' is declared
by the Metropolitan critics to be one
of the most humorous Of high-class1
productions made there in many years.
The plot deals with the actions r. a
young society woman of Battle Creek,

spends most of her time in her own
circle at home but her husband. a
judge of the Court of Shanghai, is
away for such long periods she de-
cides to go to New York for recreation
and rest. She is attracted by the
glazing lights at Rectors and there
she makes her headquarters. In the
course of time she earns the sobriquet
of The Girl from Rector's'' and on
her next visit to Battle Creek she

She had been posing as the daughter
of Buffalo man and while The
Girl" in way is endeavoring to ex-
plain her dual identity complications
arise which reveal a series of situa
lions that keep the audience in roar

toward the South pole, with the posi-
bility that the Stars and Stripes might

Commander Peary's reference to the
personnel was taken by many of the
diners to mean that he himself might
lead such an expedition into the An
