Spineless Cactus, the Wonder Plant

Most delicious jams, jelies, syrups, etc., in enor-
nous quantities. at nominal cost, made from
the fruits alone or in combination with other fruits
besides various foods and confections such as Tuna
Honey (Miel Tuna), Tuna Butter (Melcocha) and
Tuna Cheese (Queso)
Cactus have been used (even the thorny onesl
for making confectionery by the MeXcans and
others for long time. Some of the finest candies
of Mexico are candied cactus of various forms.
The fat young leaves are sometimes used for
pickles, and are fairly good and wholesome food
when fried like egg plant. They also boiled and
used as greens and are prepared with sugar, pro-
ducing a sweetmeat similar to preserved citron.
which may be favored with ginger or other spices.
The abundant mucilaginous juice from the
leaves is extracted for mixing with whltewash to
make it lasting when exposed to the weather. For
the purpose of obtaining this muciage the leaves
are simply cut in thin slices or crushed and placed
in water A leaf or two will make gallon OF good,
thick transparent muciage of superior tenaclty,
used on cotton fabrics especially for waterproofng.
When this substance dries sowy it produces gum
which is hard brittle generally white or OF pearly
color and not readily dissolved in water 1t should
also make valuable addition for giving more ten
acity to some of the compounds used in spraying
trees and plants for parasites.

President Hughes and Assessor O'Brien of the board began work on the lists yesterday and have been, hard at it ever since.
 Tn September property owners will hegin to file their tax lists and then the assessors will be busy until spring so that the preparation of these lists later in the year would entail much work after hours. It is estimated that the. lists will be ready within ten days
