CATTLE EAT PRICKLY PEARS
Experiments Made at the New Mexico
Experimental Station Show 1t to
Be Good Feed.

by Prof. B. F. Hare. New Mexico Elk
pertinent Station.)
The increased use of the prickly
pear (the fiat-jointed members of the
genus opuntia) as feed for all classes
of runfnants, especially for range and
diary cattle, makes it important for
the proper preparation of ration that
the feeder know how much digestible
nutrients to expect from feeding
given quantity of the plant either
alone or mixed with other feeding
stuffs
Experiments seem t. show that
when prickly pear is fed with cured
folders or grains, the digestibility of
both is increased.
The nutritive ratio is very wide for
this feed, and in feeding it to all
Glasses of animals, for whatever pur-
pose, much better results should be
obtained when it is fed with some sub
stance of high protein content.
The steers experimental upon sell
dom drank water when fed prickly
pear alone. In fact, in feeding a ra-
ton of 100 pounds of this feed per
day the animals obtained from the
feed over eight gallons Of water,
which is more than was usually drank
by them when fed cured fodder alone.
While no digestion experiments
were made with any of the cacti other
than prickly pear, the digestion CO.
efficients of the latter could probably
be safely used for all other members
of this family, since their composition
and other characteristics are similar.
Animals scour quite badly when fed
prickly pear alone; besides, other
feeds are needed to supply the proper
amount of proteids; for these reasons
it is better not to feed it alone.
A ration for 1,000-pound mich cow
of so pounds of prickly pear. ten
pounds of wheat bran and ten pounds
of alfalfa would furnish about
the correct theoretical amount of nu-
trients, in which the ratio of pro-
teids to carbohydrates would be l to
SAG.

The Finished Tank.

draw a line from that to the upper,
corner, cutting along this line.
This makes the ends in a level or,
wedge shape two feet ten inches wide
at the top and two feet four inches
wide at the bottom. These are nailed:
inside the two sides. and if yau have
used one-inch lumber you have the
correct width, three feet wide at top
and two feet six inches at the bottom.
This will not require a bottom, but
nail two strips of four-foot length
across the top SO as to rest on the
two sides of the outside part of mold.
This will support the inside or cone
in proper place in the center.
In constructing the tank lay
foundation of small stone covered with
concrete grout. This should be from
four inches to six inches, depending
on the soil. Then set your mold upon
this, leaving out the core form at
first, but having the firebox form in
place.
Now fill this with concrete, tamped
in we'll to depth of six inches. Then
put your fue in place; this can be
common six-inch stovepipe and ex-
tend to the end of tank and then up
to the end of chimney, as shown in
sectional view.
After you have this in place cover
with concrete to the top OF same or
more, about seven inches thick; then
upon this lay your reinforcing rods.
These are not absolutely necessary,
but as they make the permanency of
the work a positive fact it is advisable
to use them These rods can be quar-
ter-inch iron rods and are laid two to
the foot each way. as shown in Sec
tional illustration.
After reinforcing rods are in place
fill with concrete until your depth of
bottom is exactly II inches from the
foundation This gives the bottom
about firebox a thickness of four
inches, which is ample, and for usual
purposes three inches would do.
Place the inside form of core in
position and fill to the top with con-
crete and allow to stand in the forms
until it begins to harden.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

If your ewes are poor at breeding
time they will be greatly handicapped.
Plenty of good feed to push the
youngsters to market.
Oil meal will often prevent indiges-
ton and keep the young sheep on
edge.
Keep the ram by himself in the day
time and turn him with few ewes
at night.
Dirty water troughs breed filth and
disease very quickly. Keep them
clean by pinch of copperas now and
then.
We won't be so free in feeding old
corn to the young pigs now, in view
of the high price of that old standby.
All the better for the pigs.
Not too early to begin getting the
animals ready for the fair. Study the

Winter Feed for Cows.

To provide green feed for COWS in
winter and other times when there is
no green pasture, every dairyman
ought to have a silo, and fill it with
green corn or grow a good crop of
stock or sugar beets. The great value
of grass. silage and green roots, be-
sides their actual food content, is in
giving the cows an appetite and in
helping to digest the dry and more
solid foods. All of these green feeds
contain a large percentage of water
and rich vegetable juices that act as
stimulating tonic to the animals.
Owing to the high water content, the
food in general is not only better di-
gested and assimilated, but the bowels
are kept loose and the COWS enjoy
better health, which is a necessary
condition for high production. If you
have no silo, plant several acres of
beets or other roots in the spring for
n supply for the COWS during the win

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Oats 1t stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment

ion, and yet it is the least expensive
iood one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
olentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than if
led on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
lessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Oats is packed in large
sized family packages either with or
