Buffalo Increasing.

Announcement that at the end OF
the current year New York will send
IA buffalo to stock the Wind Cave
National park in South Dakota leads
the New York World to cite some
interesting facts and figures relative
to the downs and ups of the North
American bison Forty years ago
large herds of these animals still
roamed the western plains; Is years
later the total number in the United
States was said to be less than 200,
and early extinction was freely pre-
dicted; now we are told that the buf-
falo tribe is again increasing.
Ten years ago The World tells us
the specimens in captivity numbered
.1,119, while it was estimated that
there were "a running wild in this
country and 800 in Canada. Today
the number is put above 1000, not
counting the half-breed "catalo, with
which experiments have been made.
There are about so in New York
and smaller numbers in other east
ern cities, while various western and
Canadian reserves contain from so
to 100 each. In Europe there are
specimens in some of the public
parks and small herd on the estate
of the Duke of BerforL
That the present increase will con-
tinue is no apparent reason why buf-
falo raising shall not be made a COM
mercial venture If the precaution
is taken of checking in breeding and
so keeping the herds in health, by
exchanging specimens from time to
time, buffalo, as we are told, are
nearly as easy to raise as ordinary
cattle, while the claim is made that
the "catalo' is even more hardy than
the Texas steer.

A Vanishing Race.

Charles w. Eliot, president emerl-
tus, of Harvard, says that there is a
lack of power and vitality in the
American people which the immi-
grants possess; that they have, for ex-
ample, the power of reproducing their
own kind while ten classes of Har-
ward graduates failed to reproduce
themselves.
The generations that follow the i'm
migrants Americanize, but the
change in the racial stock of the
country must be very great, If not
very important. 1t is noticeable in
the cities and in the country also.
Forty years ago Chicago was city of
American stock, with the principal
additions from Germany, Ireland and
the Scandinavian countries. 1t has
taken in many foreign nationalities
since then, and the percentage of
persons of remote American ances-
try must have greatly decreased.
There are country districts in which
the American farming communities
have disappeared to give way to peo-
pie from north, central and southern
Europe. In certain places one peo-
pie will be predominant, but, taking
the country as whole, there is great
variety, so that there is no solidarity
whose influence is generally felt.
1t is fact also that the tendency
toward small families is not confined
to the highly educated classes. 1t is
comon among all classes of Ameri-
cans who desert those employments
that the immigrants take up.-The
Chicago Record-Herald.

WEALTH IN CACTUS RANCH.
Mrs, Pickerell, ~, Says the Spine
less Variety Will Pay.

A woman IA years old is to es-
tablish the only spineless cactus
ranch in tt e Southwest. She is Mrs.
E. V. Pickerell, of Ell Paso,> and she
intends to go into this peculiar busi-
ness on a wholesale scale. She is en-
thusiastic over the proposition, and
has but recently returned from Cali
fornia. where she thoroughly studied
and investigated the spineless cactus,
it's growth and uses. Mrs. Pickerell
has ordered 700 Burbank samples.
and will plant these on her farm near
Ell Paso, and later increase the
amount. Each plant will grow 35
slabs a year, and make excellent and
cheap fodder for horses, cattle, hogs,
and even poultry. Little has been
done with the plant so far except in
an experimental way, but Mrs. Picke-
rell sees an opportunity to make it
pay.
The spineless cactus is semi-trop-
ical plant and will rot grow or thrive
where the temperature reaches zero.
That low temperature, however, is
rarely reached in Ell Paso. In addition
to the slabs used for forage the plant
also bears fruit that is pleasing to
the taste. 1t resembles the orange.
The plant also may be cut into strips
and fried or boiled. Those who have
sampled the cactus food have found
it appetizing. Luther Burbank not
long ago gave a banquet, at which all
dishes served consisted of the spine
less cactus cooked in various forms.
A test was made at the Burbank
ranch recently with the cactus. One
COW was pastured on the spineless
cactus and another was fed on alfalfa.
The animal which ate the cactus pro-
duced one-third more butter than the
alfalfa-fed COW. To prove the value
of the experiment the cows food was
then reversed and with like result.
Hogs fatten when given cactus alone.

No American need be ashamed of this

as 1.-THE Wilson Rule"

correct Interpretation or repetition ra-

to the effect that an governments de-
rive their just powers from the consent
