Cactus For Cattle,

The Department of Agriculture for
some time has been making expert
ments in feeding prickly pear to stock
in Texas. In some parts of the South
west forage for stock Is scarce, n
cactus is abundant. The cactus makes
a good green feed for cattle, but the
spines have been an obstacle to it's use.
In the departments experiments the
prickly pear was singed on the range
and her collected and chopped, so as
to break up the spines. After it was
treated in this way cattle readily ate it
without injury. Although low In nutri-
tive value, it forms an excellent sue
culent feed. When used in experiments
with both dairy COWS and beef steers
the pear gave good results in connec-
ton with other feeds, and the cost
was slight. The utilization of cactus
as stock feed will be of great advantage
u the Southwest.

Waste of Soil Material

A good German farmer was talking
about growing wheat at In Illinois in
stitute. In his odd, pointed way he
said in regard to tillage on wheat land,
I'VE are lazy too much in working land
for wheat" Many are lazy too much"
in making the most out Of the straw,
says Practical Farmer. In his corn sec
ton, where there is no end OF corn
stalks, it may not often be advisable to
try and feed straw to stock. 1t can be
fed, however, with proper grain to good
advantage. But there is no business
sense in letting great piles Of straw
lie and rot down, almost a total loss,
when the land is hungry for the hui
mus this straw would make if 1t was
worked into manure or otherwise got
into the soil evenly. There is no sense
in burning straw, and still that is not
much worse than letting it ret down In
great stacks. 1t may be best sometimes
to burn stubbles. when insects are tax
ing crops, as the lesser of two evils.
But otherwise do not burn straw or
vegetable matter in any form. Get it
back into your soil. The land it grew
on needs it. And don't sell straw for
a mere song. Nearly all this land is
short Of humus now and getting more
So, Better crops would be the result Of
rotting the straw evenly in the soil
instead Of in huge piles. Lay cement
floors in all stables. Draw in the straw
and use Il freely for bedding. Take it
out saturated with liquid
which now goes to waste, liquid worth,
pound for pound, much more than the
solid manure Get twice as nauy loads
Of manure in a winter and worth about
twice as much per load If you want to
attain the highest success and are not
LAZY too much"
