CACTUS USED FOR FORAGE
Botanical Wizard Robs Plants of
Their Thorns and Spines-
His Methods.

Luther Burbank, who is called the
botanical wizard because of his deyel-
opment Of steneless plums and other
fruit freaks. has just produced, after ten
years work, a spineless cactus, which is
half as nutritious as alfalfa, and will
yield more forage 10 the acre, says the
San Francisco Letter. By a series OF
crossings and recrossings of different
varieties from different parts OF the
world, Mr.. Burbank is aiming to make
the plant harder and to produce more
fruit and leaves. He has at his Santa
Rosa experimental grounds specimens
Of a cactus which he has robbed Of
thorns, having brought the leaves to a
state OF perfection in which a man can
RIB leaf over his face. The surface
is found as soft as silk. The creation of
a spineless cactus is OF worldwide i'm
portance. The plant Will grow luxur-
iantly on the driest desert In this and
other countries its leaves and fruit are
food for man and beast, and it will mean
TO some regions more than the intro
duction Of the potato means to Europe.

WHY DoNkEYs DO NOT SHY
Different from Horses Because of
Their Early Environment
Food Also a Factor.

The ancestors OF the horse were ac-
customed TO roam over the plains, where
every tuft Of grass or bush might con-
ceal an enemy waiting TO spring upon
them. Under these circumstances they
must often have saved their lives By
starting quickly back or jumping to one
side when they came without warning
upon some strange object This is a
habit which has not left the animal. even
after long years Of domestication. On
the other hand, the donkey is descended
from animals which lived among the
hills. where there we're precipices and
dangerous declivities. and from these
conditions resulted his slowness ana
sure-footedness. His ancestors were not
so liable to sudden attacks from wild
beasts and snakes Besides. sudden and
wild starts would have been positively
dangerous TO them Consequently they
learned 10 avoid the very trick which
has been SO useful 70 the horse. The
habit Of eating thistles, which Is pecu-
liar alone TO the donkey, is also descend
"a from these ancestors. In the dry.
barren localities which they inhabited
there was often little food. hence they
learned Is eat hard. dry and even prickly
plants when there was nothing else
