CACTUS PAYS BURBANK
$4,000 in a Month.

Chicago, Oct. duncan E. Nc
Kinley, Republican spellbinder, has
what is guaranteed to be the real,
true and anly answer to the question
how to reduce the cost of living.
He is willing to guarantee it, if it
is tried properly. Luther Burbank
Is the answer Mr.. Mckinley offers.
Burbank, the eat horticulturists
is McKinley's neighbor at Santa Rosa
Cal. Their homes are side by side.
"All the economic sharks agree"
he said, that the chief item is the
high price of meats. And they all
agree that meats are high because
the western range is gone.
Burbank has taken cactus and
made it so smooth that you can rub
your face with it as you would a
glove. And that is where its value
comes in. Every ounce OF that ac-
tus is just as good for cattle, sheep
hogs and chickens as alfalfa.
Now, cactus grows naturally all
over the Southwestern States. 1t
grows in sand and takes ~sustenance
from the air. There are $500, 900
acres Of land in the intermountain
States owned by the Government
that will grow cactus naturally,
without cultivation.
This is what | saw at Burbank's
place a week ago: On a single acre
there were 2,065 tons of cactus, and
the plants were but three years old.
Think Of where the price of cattle
and sheep would go if that much al
falfa could be raised to an acre.

DEMOCRATIC WOMEN
ORGANIZE A LEAGUE

The Woman's National Democra-
tic League was established on June
1st, 1912, in Washington, D. c.,
by prominent Democratic women. A
strong and representative Executive
Board has been elected, including ten
active officers, six additional direc-
tors, and headed by the wives of the
nominees Of the Baltimore Conven-
ton, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Mrs.
Thomas Marshall as honorary pres
ident and honorary vice president of
the league.
Each state will be under the ~ ect
supervision Of a State Vice-President
Each city, town, and hamlet should
now organize its W clubs accord
ing 70 its W strength. and deye-
lop the work most important in that
city through its local leader who
should be president of the local ell ID.
Who will organize the first wom-
ans democratic club as a branch OF
the Woman's National Democratic
League in your city?
This is the first national demo-
cratic movement ever attempted for
women, and It has swept the states.
enrolling members from the remote
corners OF the Union.
Who is ready to work for the aus
and assist in the election OF the
Wilson-Marshall ticket?
This is a Democratic organization
for women. each women is free to
choose her own line.of work. and its
object is to organize women,

EASY TO RAISE
BERRIES FOR FAMILY
All You Need Is a Barrel, Some Soil.
a Little Wire and a Fondness for
Berries.

The following is taken from the
current issue of Farm and Fireside:
"A strong box or barrel is need
ed-something that will stand the
general conditions of the weather.
Bore holes in the bottom of the box
or barrel for drainage, and also sew
eral rows of inch holes on the sides,
holes at least six inches apart, and
each row the same distance, with
the first and third rows of holes
directly above each other, and so
on alternately. Set the box or bar
rel on small blocks Of wood to as
sist drainage.
Soil of the same quality as that
prepared for a bed in open ground
is required, and in placing in the box
it must be sifted or sprinkled dur
ing the whole course of the work
of filling. Fill up in this manner to
the first row of holes, and after
placing a plant well in each hole,
cover up the roots of the plant by
this sprinkling process to the next
row of holes, and so on until full.
Unless this method is used to put the
dirt in, the plants will be drawn out
OF position when the mass settles.
Plants are, of course, placed on the
top OF the barrel or box. Strong
wires around the sides, if a box is
used. will assist in keeping it to-
gether If placed on before filing.
"Such a prepared bed of strawber-
ries will supply the wants of any
ordinary household, and more, too,
if more than one box is prepared.
There are advantages, also. in this
method OF raising them! there are
no weeds to keep down, a bucket of
water gently poured on will supply
all the moisture needed, the berries
are clean and easy to pick, and the
whole batch Of plants can be covered
with little trouble if necessary to
protect from late frosts.''
