THE THORNLEss pRIcKLY PEAR.
The Spineless Forms of Prickly Pear Are Scattered Over Most o
the Warmer Regions of the Globe.
BY ID. GRIFFITHS.

1hornless and spinelcss are only
relative terms. There is no species
Of prickly pear entirely without an
annoying needle-likc arnlaturc. The
plants discussed here are nearly
free from spines. They bear spike
lets, which arc simply small. frag-
lie and easily detached spincs, in
varying number, but not enough to
prohibit their being fed to cattle
without previous preparation.
Spineless forms are most. album
dant in the Mediterranean regio,is
IT the three continents. They are
common but never extensively cui-
tiyated in Mexico. Frequently
they are met with III the tropical
and S~ub-tropical islands, while SIM
liar forms arc found in South Afri-
ca. Australia and South America.
in the United States an occasional
plant is found along the Florida
coast. In California they are
more Or less common in parks,
where they were introduced many
Years ago. Recently they have
been distributed by the Depart
mc.t at Agriculture ON the imme-
diatc coast Of the Gulf OF Mexico
and in southwestern Arizona and
southern and western California.
Vt various times attempts have
been made 10 prepare commercial

cotton plant for food. When con-
fined in bottles, the weeyil will
partake of various substances.
such a apples or. Bananas; but
this is only under the stress OF
starvation. Under natural condi-
tons they would pay no attention
TO these substances.
The boil weevil is strictly dur
nal IN its habits. Repeated OBJ
servationS made III the field al
night have shown that it is not &C
tive after SHUTDOWN. Unlike some
related insects. it IS not attracted
TO light.
An interesting habit OF the boil
weevil is to fcign death that is to
play possum,' as it IS popularity
called. When disturbed the insects
generally contract their limbs and
drop to the ground.
The age TO which WccvilS live
varies under different conditions.
During the winter the longevity j.
much greater than III the summer.
During the summer season the ma
ilority Of wceyils do not live long
CT than sixty DAYS. During the
cooler part Of the year many o.
them live as long as six months.

there are hundreds Of species Of

easily mistaken for the enemy OF

have been due to mistakes that
have arisen on account Of this

getlicr with the accompanying
high average salt content, makes
it a laxative feed when eaten in
large quantity
There have been few direct conf
parsons between this and other
feeds. One conducted at San An
tonic, Tex, ONE years ago indi-
Gated that six tons of green, ste
culent prickly pear Of 4 native
spiny form is equal to one toa Of
good sorghum hay.
Although practical dairy1nen
have used the native prlckly pear
successfully for months at Il time,
with almost no other ~roughage, it
is more than probable that the best
results could be secured By using
some dry roughagc in connection
with it-feeding the pricklv pear
i'll 4 manner comparable 10 silage
as commonly employed. i. G.. as a
part of the roughage i'll the dairy
ration. This conclusion is reached
Upon both chemical grounds and
the experience of some Of the hes:
posted feeders. On the other
hand, some Of the best herds If
southern Texas have thrived on 3
continuous roughaSe ration Of
prickly pears and have kept in the
best condition with a rather heav,
concentrated ration of cottOnseet
meal and rice bran. In one instance
4 herd OF so to o. cows had nC
other roughagc for nearly two
wears. No inconvenience was ap
parent and the milk flow was good
Although the feed has 4 tendenc,
to scOur. it was considered by thu
dairymen that nc injury resulted
from this cauSe.
No one in this country. 50 far a;
known, has much accurate inform
alton regarding the yields which
the thornless prickly pears vii
make. They have not been grow
extensively enough SO that anyon'
: justified in making a statenen
concerning this point. At Chico
al. under expert cultivation b,
government authorities, the yiel'
IS stated to pc somewhere between
twenty and twenty-five tons to tn

means sufficient roughage for on
s COW from one acre without irrlga
