cattle have little opportunity to eat
any but the thorn covered cactus
of the ranges and il is said that even
this is devoured with avidity when
other range provender is not avail
able. The eating of cactus by cattle
seems TO be an acquired taste some
what like the drinking of beer by
men. Ii is said by many experiment
ers however. that cattle once taught
TO eat the thornless varieties, quick
ly learn to like them and that the
food is decidedly nourishing and
healthful, while the tonnage that car
be grown on an acre is quite mar
velous.
Cactus. like any other plant grows
much better If il has at least a
reasonable amount of moisture. but
the fact that it will grow with very
little moisture. suggests its POSSIBLE
tiles as range food. Suggestions
have been made that the proper
course To pursue is TO Kill off the
thorn covered varieties on the des-
erts and replace them with the spine
less. So recently as the last conven-
ton of cattle growers in Arizona il
good idea to fence off certain por-
tons Of the ranges for protection
against the stock, while planting the
thornless varieties and getting a food
supply ready for actual dry weather
tests under range conditions. Some
contend that planted on the range
the thornless will again develop the
thorns Be that as il may, they
would not all come at once and the
experiment would at least be inter
esting and instructive.
Mrs. Yetter is an enthusiastic
grower of thornless cactus and has
hundred plants i'm her lot that are
growing finely without irrigation.
This she regards as a demonstration
Of the fact that they can get along
with very little water and still grow
prOlifically. But her energy is not
confined To the mere growing Of
thornless cactus She believes that
almost any kind Of cactus is good
for something if man will only find
out what that something is.
For instance from the heart of the
so-called barrel cactus, combined with
pure fruit juices and cane sugar she
manufactures a preparation that she
says is quite a dainty for the table
and that is also said Ia be good for
coughs. colds and heart trouble.
The fruit of the prickly pear cac-
tus Mrs. Yetter says is very rich in
nitrogen which may suggest various
uses for il and one purpose for which
she says il has been found good is
as a food for ostriches adding lustre
To their plumes.
Mrs. Yetter also puts up the cac-
tus I'm a form she calls crystaliZed
cactus. While this is sweetmeat.
she claims IL is more than that, be
says she is making it for its food
value as well as its toothsOme quail
tiles
Then there are many small varie
ties Of cactus for which there has
been discovered no particular food or
medicinal value but which still serve
more or less useful purpose as or
namental plants. There are many
cute little ones from the size of ones
finger up To as large as he might
want. They are hardy. easy To ship
or transplant and easy 10 grow and
still many Of them are dwarfed var
ieties and never attain any great
size but are interesting little plants
