The preceding article discussed
general phases Of cactus while this
is intended to discuss the specific
food value Of this forage plant.
Compare the green and succulent
feeds such as young green corn, tur-
nips, beets, rutabacas, green grass,
etc., cactus stands shoulder to shoul-
der in line and answers its share of
all the questions and problems put
to il. Not only that, but it actually
stands at the head of the class Of
green succulent feeds for reasons
that are to be precisely stated.
Back of the coat Of piercing
thorns, thorns that have made both
man and beast beware Of it and
which has caused il to be despised,
back Of those thorns is green feed
that is as good as grass when grass
is at its greenest and best. Long
after the grass has become dry and
unpalatable to stock, the greenness
of the cactus stands out in refresh
ing contrast. Long after the turnips
or sugar or stock beets that were
raised extensively are gone the in
expensive green feed Of the cactus
smiles at us and chides us for being
so impracticable as to feed expen-
sively produced feeds when it was
profit we was wanting and could have
fed this plant which costs so nearly
nothing.
The chemical coefficients Of cac-
tus and the green feeds mentioned
are strikingly similar. Two all-im-
portant matters often overlooked in
stock feeding is the necessity Of both
bulk and succulence. All animals
imam included) are so constructed
that the natural and therefore the
most healthful food is bulky feed Of
low nutritive value. The concentrat-
ed feed has its place, but can never
displace the natural arrangement
All succulent feeds from green grass
to turnips and cactus are bulky and
juicy, about 979o Of their bulk being
water content. Yet the digestive or
gans of animals are so constituted
as to extract therefrom vigorous
existance. II is natures wav. The
same nutritive values in n dessicated
and concentrated form would fall far
short of answering its same physical
requirements. The desert dairyman
by feeding the bulky and succulent
cactus as an additional feed to 9th
erwise dry feeds such as the dried
range grass. alfalfa, bran. etc. is
complying with uatue's demands for
bulky and balanced ration and
thereby secures the ideal results at q
cost that is ridiculously low. Cactus,
green the year round, makes it lead
in feed value the other green forage
plants. The balance of proteids and
carbohydrates required for perfect

number cannot establish or maintain
homes. Dried grass, and It some
what scattering, win do - Q make
shift, but dependable forage Of low
production cost must supplement the
local grazing conditions.
Cactus, growing and thriving To-
cally when it can get the advantage
Of the rainfall, the desert rainfall,
furnishing an all-the-year round
green feed at almost no cost and
yields heavy tonnage is the logical
forage for the desert habitat. It il

the prosperity of thousands Of fam
lilies throughout the Southwest. for

our families through the magic Of

IL IL impossible to estimate the
enormous annual losses to live stock
farmers through the lack Of silos.
Production of feed crops requires
much time, entails considerable ex-
pense, and Their, under the usual
method of handling in the form Of
dry fodder, fully so per cent Of the
gross yield is wasted. II is conserv-
alive to say that enough feed goes
to waste every year on the average
farm to pay for a silo. Silage is
rightly considered a winter pasture,
as il gives summer feed for livestock
during the winter months. Silage al
so supplements summer and fall pas
lures, when adverse conditions make
is necessary. II has been shown that
the livestock farmer without the silo,
gives one-half Of his products to the
elements, when silo would save full
ly 90 per cent Of it.

What We Want Most

Every one of us, working man or
capitalist, like the word home. The
ordinary citizen who hasn't home,
longs for one. He is sure he will
have it before old age comes on,
but many times he is disappointed.
How about you, young mani Why
not clinch your opportunity while
your earning capacity is at its best.
Buy few lots now, while the price
is cheap and the payments small,
and when you are old you can enjoy
yourself taking care Of the cows,
chickens, etc.
II you wait until you are old to
buy these same lots, you'll find the
price so sigh that you might have
hard work getting land enough to
keep the chickens on, to say nothing
Of yourself and family.
Lots in any part of the city at
from $50 up, and for few more
days you need only pay IS month
on every two lots you buy. 1t is
the fairest proposition ever offered
you.

In this way in few years an accu-
mulated tonnage Of from seventy Ave

about 30 ton. Thus at a cost Of
almost nothing, besides il is difficult
to exhaust this supply by the small
dairyman as the increased growth
each year will be from fifteen to
twenty tons per acre. Thus an acre
40 planted can easily be valued at
from $500 to $1,000, figuring the
green feed alone at the end Of a few
years from planting.
In a desert country the most val
liable thing grown is feed for stock.
Sometimes this is raised at consid-
cradle cost, too costly usually for
profit to the average farmer, but here
is forage plant that will make pos
sible the prosperity Of thousands Of
families in the Mimbres valley and
the Southwest generally.
In a subsequent article the writer
will treat the subject Of the proper
handling Of this forage plant, also
its specific feed value.

II is with supreme satisfaction that
the writer observes the increasing in
terest in the subject Of dairying and
its possibilities in the Mimbres valley
For some time the Deming Chamber
Of Commerce has noted the feeding
value Of cactus and some months ago
distributed slabs for planting, hoping
hereby to determie by test the variety
best adapted locally. The important
matter is that cactus ms feed is rec
ogriixed as Of especial value. This is
not new or recent discovery, but a
very belated recognition Of this valu-
able forage plant, it appears to the
writer, for the world over this plant
has for thousands Of years been a
valuable stock food and in addition
has furnished nutritious fruit fol
mans consumption.
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1914-11-13

more or less expensive feeds, cactus
is the one cheaply produced green
feed that can be the staple green feed
to make dairying, also poultry rails
ing a profitable desert industry. 1t
is the expensiveness Of feed that
takes the profits from the desert
farmer and when this problem is
solved for him the rest will be Of
comparatively easy mastery.
When the word "cactus" is used,
the writer does not refer to the
thornless or spineless varieties for
the Mimbres valley. These varieties
unfortunately will do no good locally
for several reasons which are to fol-
low in this article, and as the aver
age person generally has these in
mind when cactus il mentioned. ex-
act reasons why the thornless kinds
will not succeed locally must be given
and equally precise reasons why the
thorny native varieties will succeed
and also are better than the thornless
varieties must be given. Thornless
varieties will not succeed locally b, =
cause:
(a) They are so sensitive to cold
they easily wither kill. They will
begin freezing at fifteen degrees
above zero and will die when the
Thermometer registers 20 above and
