CACTUS FOR CATTLE.
A Kind Found In Hawaii Which Ia
 Spinclcss.

Kind Found In Hawaii Whicn ID
 spinclcss.
 The announcement that Luther Bur- bank of Santa Rosa, Cal, had develop ed or was developing a spineless cac- tus which, if spread throughout the arid regions of the southern United States, would add greatly to the value of stock food and render the fear and damage of drought in those southern cattle regions needless has led to some remarkable results in Hawaii. says special cable dispatch from Honolulu to the New York Tribune.
 The announcement recalled to some of the older inhabitants the fact that i'll their boyhood spineless cactus was found in these islands. Strangely enough, however. and curiously con firming Luther Burbank's opinion of it's value as cattle food, the specimens discovered always grew where they were protected from cattle. Not single cactus was found where the wandering herds had access to it. When one of these plants was brought to the cattle, however, they ate it, even to the roots.
 She spineless cactus was thus shown to be cattle food. and further experi- ments have proved still more fully the same fact The result has been that several cattlemen. especially those own ing grazing lands subject to droughts, have planted thousands of cuttings from these spineless cactus for the purpose of providing forage and drink for their cattle in time of extreme drought, for it must be remembered l that the cactus stores moisture and is | a source of water for cattle as we'll as | food. In all cases. however. these I plantings have been protected from l the depredations of cattle by fences | and are expected to be used only in times of extreme drought.
 Samples of the spineless cactus found | in Hawaii have been sent to MT. Bur | bank. with all the information about 1t obtainable. He has replied that this is probably a species which is found in Africa and was brought to Hawaii at some time. It has longer and thin, ner leaf. so called. than the prickly cactus and is less juicy and nourish
 ing. Mir. Burbank says that the spine
 less cactus he is developing will be of the more succulent variety, afford
 ing much more valuable cattle food
 than any of the spineless varieties
 which have been found in various
 parts of the world.
 The demand for cuttings of the spine
 less variety found in Hawaii has be
 come extremely great, as the grazers
 more and more recognize the value o
 a plant that affords both food ant drink during the periods of drought.

 to temperature. The observed egg pc. riod is from four to eight days. |. The Ns larva seats. .voraciousfyst and grows with great rapidity, attaining full maturity in from ten days to two weeks after matching. It molts four times; hence there are five distinct stages, the first mott taking place Gin warm weathsrD in about two days from the hour of matching, the second stage lasting two or three days; the third and fourth. one or two days each, and the fifth. four or five days. The duration of the chrysalis stage is from seven days to a fortnight during the summer time, but the last chrysalides formed in the more northern states remain undeveloped during the win ter until the following spring.
 The life cycle occupies periods vary ing between g days and five weeks. Even in New England this species is credited with being triple-broodei l, but in the District of Columbia and vicinity there must be one or more additional generations, and there Is a possibility of at least six in the ex- treme south. The first generation de- yelops on wild plants.
 In the treatment of this species it should be kept in mind that other worms" and other cabbage pests are more often present than not.
 Arsenlcals.-The best remedy is one of the arsenicals; and paris green and arsenate of lead are preferred to others in common use. If the former is used it may be applied either dry or wet. preferably. however. as a spray, at the rate of about one pound of the poison to 150 gallons of water. It should be applied when the plants are first set out. so as to insure the poi son reaching the young larvae before they have burroved far into the heads. Other applications should fol- low as required. These can be made with absolute safety until the heads are about half formed. and. for that matter. even later. as the poison dis. appears from plants almost complete ly within three or four weeks after application.
 Bran Mash-A mixture of bran with paris green. one of the standard rem edies for cutworms as well as grass hoppers. Is. according 10 the testimony of some who have used 1t. successful against cabbage worms" and should be tried against the present species Any arsenical can be employed in tho preparation of this mixture. IL Is best to mix the brand with water and sugar before adding the poison. Ths proportions are two or three ounce, ' of sugar or other sveetenins and about one pound of bran. to a gallor of water: so as to make. when stirred . mixture that vill easily run throust the fingers In its application it il merely sprinkled. either vet or i-y over the affected plants

world is full of envious people. Some hate man because he IS successful in business, or occupies q prominent position in the social circles of the community.
 People have no animosity tc- ward the quiet, unassuming man who otfends no one or gets in no one's way. It Is the man with push and energy, who Is fearless in the discharge of his obligations in any station of life, who has ene- mics; but blessed be he for he is usually the man with principle. The poorest excuse for a man Is he who is generally beloved and has no enemies. " To say that of a man is simply to declare in gen teel terms that he has no back boneo whatever; that he is so lack ing in moral courage that he would never dare to say that his soul was his own. Such men consider themselves extremely popular, but their popularity is only bub- ble-nothing more. That class of men are afraid to have any other than the puny emotions, and true friendship is too rugged for them. They have no enemies, but it is just as true they have no friends.

ASSOCIATIONS CONSOL IDATE
Southern Cotton Association Ab- SOrbs the National, and Will
 Solidify Organizations.

1 WHICH WdS OiSduiZcu db CuIcNG- port, La, Dec. II, 1904, bas been merged into the Southern Cotton Association, which was created by the New Orleans convention, Jan. 9, 1905. Col. E. $. Peters of Calvert, Texas, and Oswald Will son of Fort Worth, were the President and Secretary respec- lively of the National Cotton As sociation.
 The merger of the two Associa- tions was the outcome of negotia- tions which have been pending along this line for the past few weeks. The Southern Cotton As sociation is now fully organized in all the states east of the Mississip- pi river and in taking up the work which has heretofore been carried on by the National Cotton Associ- ation west of the river, it is conf- dently predicted that in a very short time, every cotton growing state and territory in the South will be combined under it's splen- did system of organization.
 The merger is very gratifying to the officers of the Southern Cot ton Association, in view of the fact, that Col. k. $. Peters who was president of the National Cot ton Association is also vice-presi- dent of the Southern Cotton Asso- citation, and who will now have ac- tive charge of the work of the lat ter association west of the Missis- sippi river.
 The consolidation of the two as- sociations will avoid any friction in the future and eliminate the confusion which has existed in the minds of the business people with reference to the two organizations, both, apparently working to the same end. The Southern Cotton Association looks to the combined organization of the entire people of the South, including not only farmers, but every allied business interest. The great object of the Southern Cotton Association is to protect and safeguard the cotton crop of the South from the devas- tating 'bearo raids which have so often financially depressed the price of the staple in the past.
 The South's supremacy, agri- culturally, commercially, indus trially and financially are the four great blanks in the platform of the Southern Cotton Associa- tion, and in the success of it's work the Association calls to it's aid and cooperation not only farmers, but every merchant, banker and al- lied business interest in the South.
 The success of the Southern | Cotton Association has been very marked in all the old states east of the Mississippi river and in Arkansas. The consolidation of the two Associations guarantees perfect harmony i'll the future, and indicates more than all things else, that the officers of the two Associations are more deeply in- terested in the success of the peo- pie of the South than any advance ment of the personal interest of any particular organization.
 The department of publicity west of the Mississippi river will be under the direct management of Col. k. $. Peters, vice-presi- dent of the Southern Cotton Asso- citation, whose headquarters are al Calvert, Texas.
