CACTUS FOR CATTLE.
4 Kind that IL Found In Hawaii
Which IL Spine1ess.


Which Ia SpincIess.
The announcement that Luther Bur- !!
bank, Of Santa Rosa, has developed or
was developing spineless cactus,
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 the
| New York Tribune
| The announcement recalled to some
of the older inhabitants the fact that
in their boyhood a spineless cactus
was found in these islands. Strangely
+, enough, however, and curiously con-
! firming Luther Burbanks opinion OF
its value as cattle food, the .speci-
mems discovered always grew where
they were protected from cattle. Not
Il single cactus was found where the
wandering herds had access to 1t.
When one of these plants was brought
to the cattle, however, they ate it, even
to the roots.
The spineless cactus was thus shown
to be cattle food, and further exper-
iments have proved still more fully
the same fact. The result has been
that several cattlemen, especially those
owning 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 re-
membered that the cactus stores mois-
ture and is source of water for cat.
tie, as well as food. In all cases, how.
ever, these paintings have been pro
tected from the depredations Of cattle
by fences, and are expected to be used
only In times of extreme drought.
, Cattlemen in these lands are famil
lar with the fact that when driven Il
: it by hunger and thirst cattle will
! browse on even the prickly cactus, the
q gigantic prickly pear, which grows IL
! these Islands. The younger growth O
Q the cactus, though just as prickly a

tongues, threats and the walls Of thel
stomachs soon become filled with tn
@ prickles. These seem to do them n
It particular damage, except In occasion
p al instances, though they must be

227, discharged, 2405.
The Sunday report would have been
the lowest one on record except for
the report of nest of infection in an
other convent and asylum, totaling six
cases, among the girls in the Mount
Carmel institute asylum in Piety
street. There have been several
cases in the Mount Carmel convent in
st. Cloude street, and as these two
institutions are closely allied it is
very likely that the infection was
transmitted from one to the other. An
other case is reported at the French
asylum IN Canal street.
Among the deaths was Sister Mary
Edith of the convent of Perpetual
Alteration
The total number of cases under
treatment in the city Is only 22I

Many attractions To Be Found in
This Nearby Region to Ne1o-York.

Long Island is more and more each year Nv
ing up to the original Indian name of Seawan-
hacky, "Wampum Country" as more and more
of the coin of the realm is invested in summer
homes and the attendant improvements upon its
territory Within the $50 miles of the coast line
of Long Island bounded as it is in the main by
the Atlantic Ocean, Long Island Sound and the
arm of the sea connecting them. called the East
River there is as great diversity of surface and
scenery, of crowded streets and untouched rural
solitude. of costly home and simple cottages. OF
wide outlook and restricted rural delight. as
can be found anywhere on the face of the
earth.
More and more each season the number OF
visitors for longer or shorter periods, to the
different regions of Long Island increases.
Whether they go to the thronged hotels and
crowded bathing beaches near the western END
or to the rugged moors of distant Montauk. TO
the level South Shore. to the hilly and diver
sifed North Shore each visitor is sure to so pre-
sent the attractions enjoyed as to induce some
other persons TO seek out the same. Brief trips
lengthen out into extended stays. and stopping
at hotel or cottage frequently results IN the
purchase of property and the occupancy OF a
permanent summer home.
The many interesting places on Long Island

which they can be reached are attractiveIy set
forth for the season of 1905 by the Long Island
