CACTUS FOR CATTLE.
4 Kind that 10 Found In Hawaii
Which Is Spineless.

4 Kind that 10 Found In Hawaii
Which IL Spineless.
The announcement that Luther Bur-
oank, OF Santa Rosa, has developed or
was developing a 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
or the Older inhabitants the fact that
IN their boyhood a spineless cactus
was found in these islands. Strangely
enough, however, and curiously con-
flrming Luther Burbank's opinion Of
Its value as cattle food, the speci.
mems discovered always grew whera
they were protected from cattle. Not
a 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.
The spineless cactus was thus shown
to be cattle food, and further exper-
lments 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
Tor 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 we'll as food. In all cases, how
ever, these paintings have been pro-
tected from the depredations of cattle
oy 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 to
1t by hunger and thirst cattle will
browse on even the prickly cactus, the
gigantic prickly pear, which grows in
these Islands. The younger growth of
the cactus, though just as prickly as
the older, Is not so harsh, and the cat
tie are able to eat it, though thei,
tongues, threats and the walls of their
stomachs soon become filled with the
prickles. These seem to do them no
particular damage excont in occo Sim
al instances, though they must be a
source Of more or less irritation.
Samples Of the spineless cactus
found there have been sent to Mr.. Bur-
bank. with all the information about
1t obtainable. He has replied that this
Is probably species which is found
In Africa and has been brought there
at some time. 1t has a longer and
thinner leaf, so-called, then the prickly
cactus and Is less juicy and nourish-
ing. Mr.. Burbank says that the spine
less cactus he is developing will be
the more succulent variety, affording
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
spineless variety found there has be-
come extremely great, as the grazers
more and more recognize the value of
plant that affords both food and
drink during periods of drought.

The end of a sensational and dra-
matte case came in the police court
this morning. "Scotty" will not

anxiety and the nervous tension
lately pictured in his usually tran
quill countenance having entirely
disappeared.
"Scotty" has an electric piano in
his Smoke House that brings Joy to
the hearts Of those on whose ears
fall its melodious strains. An an
cient ordinance was found ii the
book forbidding music in such
places of amusement. The officer
was sworn to enforce the law and
he arrested "Scotty." "Scotty"
said he'd "be hanged if he'd pay
fine for the offence.
This morning the case was call
ed and Scotty was given a trial by
a jury of his peers and it didn t
take them long to reach a verdict
and il was acquittal. Scotty' 5
Smoke House is a high class place
