The increased use of the prickly
pear as feed for all classes of rumi-
nants. especially for range and dairy
proper preparation of a ration that
the feeder knows how much digestible
nutrients to expect from feeding a
given quantity of the plant either
alone or mixed with other feeding
stuffs.
Many chemical analyses have been
made of a number of different mem
bers of the cactus family to determine
their value as feed for animals, and
while this data gives, with fair de-
gree OF accuracy, the amount of the
various nutrients contained in the diff
ferent species of the cacti, no reliable
record Of digestion experiments has
been found, so that 1t has been i'm
possible to say Just what proportion
of the different nutrients were avail
able to the animals.
In order to determine the digesti-
bility OF the prickly pear and thus
guide the feeder in the preparation
of rations from this plant, extensive
investigations, have recently been
made In Texas. New Mexico and other
southwestern states.
The principle Of conducting a diges-
ton experiment is very simple. First,
the animal is fed the feeding stuff the
digestibility of which Is to be deter
mined until all other feeds have been
removed from the alimentary canal.
The animal Is then placed in a stall
specially designed for feeding and for
collecting refuse without waste. II
is then fed weighted amount OF the
feeding stuff. the composition OF
which is determined by analysis. All
the refuse is collected, weighed, an
alyzed, and the amount of the sew
eral nutrients which II is found tn
contain is subtracted from the amount
of the corresponding nutrients fed.
A good idea of the stalls used In
these experiments may be obtained
from the illustration. They are made
of proper length and breadth, so that
the animals may lie down comforta-

During the evening, as was the Gus

Pollution of SPRINGS.

In limestone country there is more
danger of pollution of springs and
wells than where any other rock for
nation prevails. The reason is that
the limestone is the most readily dis
solved and open underground cham
nels are formed which may carry con.
material long distance.
If, on the other hand, polluted water
percolates through gravel or sand
stone for instance, 1t becomes puri-
fed in a comparatively short distance
from the point of contamination.

MAKING FARM
HOME PRETTY
Something of Beauty, as Well az
Order, Convenience and Good
Sanitary Conditions
Are Need ed.
(By WALTER b. LEUTZ.)

Something of beauty, as well as of
order, convenience and good sanitary
conditions, is needed to make a farm
home attractive. In planning such q
home, let not this be forgotten. A
wide sweep of lawn between the house
and the road; background of trees
and shrubbery; low Towering bushes
planted close to the foundation and
serving, as it were, TO bind the house
to the soil; vines over the porch or
bordering the window frames-all
these do much to beautify the house.
From the erection of the first house,
however, modest, the home-maker
should plan for the future as well as
for today. He should avoid building
too near the road; remembering that
prosperity may ere long enable him
to build a larger home, which may
often be most satisfactorily placed IL
front of the old one. Barns and other
buildings should be located In such
relation to one another as to allow
for improvements which will result
in harmonious whole.

Woman Dies for Her Claim.

James Blackwell, farmer, brings to
Seattle the story of an aged womans
fight with the elements in the Cascade
mountains and her subsequent death.
The woman was Miss H. E. Conrad
son, spinster. aged So years. Miss
Conradson had mining claims In the
mountain. Braving the snow and icy
blasts she determined to remain on
her claim this winter rather than run
the chance of losing It,
About ten days ago she contracted
a severe cold. In desperation she
started toward civilization and med
lcal aid. Her strength, however, was
not equal to the task. Racked with
cold and fever and further weakened
by the lack of proper food, she stag
gered into the Blackwell home on
Thursday night barely able to tell her
story. She died before medical aid
could reach her.-Seattle Correspond

portrait may not mean much now, but
in years to come. after the lines and

young sapling. And, no doubt, even
at present, there are score of dear
ones who would give much to possess

them to turn around.
The experiments developed the fact
that animals scour badly when fed
prickly pear alone; besides, other
feeds are needed to supply the proper
amount of proteids. For these rea-
sons II is better not to feed 1t alone
When prickly pear is fed with
cured folders or grains the digesti-
bility of both is increased In feeding
a mixed ration of prickly pear and al
falfa or prickly pear and cottonseed
meal, the general effect is to increase
the digestibility of all three feeds.
If the ration of prickly pear will
increase the digestibility of all feeding
stuffs, as it apparently does that OF
alfalfa and cottonseed meal, then this
feed has greater value than Is shown
by its own digestible nutrients. The
probabilities are that the addition OF
this green and succulent feed to any
dry feeding stuff will increase the d.
gestibility of both.
During the experiments the animals
being tested, chen fed prickly pear
alone, seldom drank water. In fact
in feeding ration of 100 pounds of
this feed per day the animals obtained
from the feed over eight gallons OF
water, which is more than was usual
ly drunk by them when fed cured fod-
ders alone.
