This is one of Eli Perkins favorite
stories: IF was on a train going
east one summer night he says,
when there was a wreck. The train
was derailed and all the passengers
were more or less shaken up. Every
body in the sleeping car tried to get
out as hurriedly as possible, and In
the confusion our clothing got consid-
erably mixed. had worn a pair OF
white duck trousers, but I could not
tii.d them. Finally | did find a pair
of trousers. | put them on quickly
but | couldn't leave the car! You
see they were not mems trousers
Here there is always general laugh
ter, and Perkins looks about in a
panied sort of way, then goes on:
They were boys trousers. Fix

San Luis Valley Famous Field Peas

The following unbiased review
of field pea culture in the San
Luis Valley is taken from Fertile
Lands of Colorado" issued by the
d. e. r. G. railway:
For five years the San Luis Val
ley in Colorado has been growing
in fame, in population and pros
perity, at rate hardly before
equalled by any similar area of the
United States. But while the
population has doubled, and while
the annual production has nearly
trebled, there are now more oppor-
tunities for the homeseeker than
when the new era of immigration
first began.
The San Luis Valley is a plateau,
at an elevation Of from 1900 to
5000 feet above sea level, almost
completely surrounded by high
mountain ranges, with it's land
stretching in long even slopes for
mile after mile, with hardly a rip
pie in its surface. From the noun
tains on every side flow streams to
irrigate these slopes, and when ir-
rigated the soil possesses a fertility
hardly to DO equalled elsewhere.
Homeseekers to the valley first fall
in love with the level, even farms,

Anson's charge.
Mr.. Arson also deals in hay, grain
and feed of all kinds. This he buys
from the farmers of the valley at
standard prices. At his office and
Warehouse is large set OF scales
for the weighing of hay. The bust
ness, in fact, is conducted for the
benefit of the farmers, and that this
is realized is shown by the rapid
increase in business that is being
done.

the best place in the world for the
production of live stock fat for the
market, it seems to make the tale
complete.
The new settlers for the San
Luis valley come from all parts of
the country, the great majority
from the corn belt. They are men
who have learned that, after all,
there is another crop for feeding
stock better than corn, and that
crop is the field pea.
The field pea is no new crop.
But every condition of soil, of eli
mate and of weather in the San
Luis valley is such as to exactly
suit the field pea. Therefore, the
crops produced in the San Luis
Valley every year are larger than
the crops produced in the East in
the most favored years.
The field pea is not the "cow
pea" raised in warmer climates.
1t is true pea, similar to the gar
den peas. 1t is planted by broad
casting and blowing under, or by
drilling into stubble fields without
blowing, in the spring. 1t is given
no cultivation, but is irrigated I'M
til the vines cover the ground. In
moist, warm, cloudy climate, the
vines would simply rot on the
ground. In the San Luis Valley
the sun shines always, the air is
always dry and cool. The pea
vines grow and set on blossoms
and the blossoms make pods and
the pods fill with peas; and the
vines grow and set ON more BIOS
SONS and more pods and peas, until
frost comes in the fall.
The San Luis Valley farmer does
not gather in his crop, as general
thing. The same dry weather that
prevails in summer continues into
the fall and winter. The ripened
crop of peas is left on the vines.
The vines themselves cure into n
superior hay. Sheep and C tile
are turned into the fields and fat
ten on the crop more rapidly han
il it were gathered in racks. Fogs
are turned in with them or after
them to pick up the peas that
scatter out on the ground. The
result is the production of many
more pounds Of beef or mutton or
pork to the acre than would be
produced on an acre of corn, and
with not one-tifth the labor.

Avoid DiSputation.

The disputatious person never
makes a good friend. In friendship,
men look for peace and concord and
some measure OF content. There are
enough battles to fight outside, enough
Earring and jostling In the street,
enough disputing In the market place,
enough discord in the workaday
world, without having to look for con
tention in the realm OF the inner life
also. There, if anywhere, we ask for
an end Of strife. Friendship is the
sanctuary Of the heart, and the peace
OF the sanctuary should brood over 1t.

noise of contest are excluded.-Iiugh
