Testing the Burbank Cactus.

John o. Boyle of Goodland, for
merly member of the Kansas legis-
lature, is experimenting with the Bur-
bank thornless cactus in Sherman
county. 81 got fifty plants last july
Mr.. Boyle said. 81 hoed them some,
but the rains shortly after harvest
seemed to stunt the plants. Then when
it turned off dry and hot in Septem-
Der the plants did well, and 1 got 153
new shoots 1t was hardly a fair ex-
pertinent last year as 1 did not get the
plants set out until so late. I will set
out the plants this year in May and
ought to get enough from that patch
to cover ten acres next year. Burbank
says that three tons of the thornless
cactus have as much nutriment as one
ton of alfalfa and that the Kansas soil
ought to produce rs tons an acre. If it
does produce this well and is as nutri-
tious as asserted the growing of the
cactus in Western Kansas will mean
new life to the live stock industry
there, as the cactus is a sure crop,
easy to grow and to handle.''

Carried Mail on Pack Horse.

The bad roads which have been in
evidence almost everywhere this win
ter have probably been a sorer trial
to the mail carriers than anyone else
Many of them have made excellent
records in getting mails through, over
almost impossible roads and at least
a few have been compelled to use
rather unique methods in order to
make their routes. George Ellis of Cot
tonwood Falls, who carries mail on the
star route going by way of hatfield
Green and Thurman to Homestead and
making a 36-mile trip each day, has
had an unusually hard task this winter.
During the first part of February when
the roads were filled with snow, ice
and frozen mud he found 1t impossible
to make the trip with wagon or sleigh
so he rugged up pack-mule-or horse
rather-as last resort of getting I'm
Gle Sans mails through. One horse
he rode and the other animal laden
with mail sacks was led by a conven-
iently long rope. This mode of trans
portation he successfully employed
during the week or two when the roads
were at their worst Early each
morning the pack-horse was loaded
with mail bags which were securely
NAOo O1 Win d 1OpS DIS live
to fourteen sacks of mail were carried
the horse was sometimes pretty well
buried beneath it's load. The plan
worked well though, as there was on
ly one day during the entire winter
that Homestead failed to receive its
daily mail and that was when one of
the creeks over which the mail route
lay was so high that the horses could
not swim it.

New Use for euttermiIk.

E. L. .Tague, graduate of the uni

the past IA months, announces that he
has made a discovery which would
double the profits for farmers en-
gagged in the dairy industry His dis
covery will enable buttermilk to be
utilized for the purpose of making cas-
ein- As it is now, buttermilk can only
be used for drinking purposes. Butter
is made from the milk, and what is
left is for the most part thrown away.
1t is said that at Omaha where butter
is manufactured in large quantities,
that 100000 gallons of buttermilk is
emPtied into the sewers of that city
daily According to the report which
Mr. Tague has given out four pounds
OF casein can be made from one gallon
OF buttermi1k. Caseln is worth between
10 and 20 cents-a pound When farm
er or creamery has made all the
butter possible from quantity of milk.
the buttermilk which is left will be
worth as much as the same amount
of milk was worth for the making of
butter Casein is used for a great
many different things 1t is used as a
substitute for celluloid and meer-
schaum; it is used in the manufacture
of billiard balls; it is used almost ex-
ciusively for the glazing of paper; and
another use is as a substitute for the
manufacture of amber and tortoise.
