prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The propaganda carried on in pOr-
tions of the South in advocacy of the
commercial planting Of spineless
prickly pear, or spineless cactus,
should be viewed with suspicion by
farmers who are seeking thoroughly
proved forage crops for that region
For any portion Of the South this is
no more than an experimental crop,
according to specialists of the United
States department Of agriculture. The
experiment station at Gainesville, Fla,
some years ago tested out 30 or
more varieties furnished by this de-
partment and found them entirely un-
suited to the conditions there. While
the reports from some Of the coastal
sections are more favorable, the plants
have not been grown on sufficient
scale to warrant more than an expert
mental planting by the man of limited
MEANS. Prospective growers should
confine themselves to q small number
of plants, from which a nursery can
soon be established if the crop proves
to be adapted. 1t should be borne in
mind that this crop is to be consid-
cred a SuccuIent to be fed in connec-
ton with a concentrate ration and pre-
ferably a little dry hay. 1t contains
88 to "a per cent water and no stock
can be maintained on it alone. 1t is
necessary to decide whether, in re-
gion where green feed Of more nu-
tritious forage crops can be had near
ly, if not quite, the entire year, there
is a place for such crop.
Stocks for planting are widely dis
tributed In small quantities In the
South, and there are number Of
in Florida who are offering cut
tings for sale at reasonable prices. so
there is no need Of paying fancy fig
ures. There also are many such grow
ers in California.
Activities of promoters during the
past season have not been confined to
the South. They have operated and
actually sold carloads of cuttings as
far north as Colorado. of varieties that
are known to be too tender to stand
the temperatures OF San Antonio Tex.
There Is but one spineless species
known which will withstand the tenn
peratures in Texas as far north as
Waco. This Is Opuntia EIllssiana, a

medium-sized species of about the
same habit as. the common natives of
southern Texas. This hardy species
seems to have its origin at Corpus
Christi and there are evidences that
it was grown there IA years ago. 1t Is
known to be grown there still, The
stock Of it is quite limited, there be-
ing but few growers known to the
department who have propagated it
on any scale, and even their supplies
are not large.
So far as the types which are now
being exploited are concerned, they
cannot be grown except In the very
warmest sections Of the country. 1t
is yet to be determined whether any
spineless cactus can make an econom-
ic crop in the humid South, where
legumes and other forages of a high
er nutritive value can be had in a
green, succulent condition nearly the
entire year. Low temperatures limit
the possible cultivation Of these ex-
plotted forms to the coast and inte-
rior valleys of California, southwest
ern Arizona (under irrigation), Tex
as, south of the Texas-Mexico railway,
and favored localities on the immedi-
ate Gulf coast. The experiments men
TONED above appear to exclude the
crop from central Florida. Further
data are necessary to determine its
value on the coast.

too determined a way to be denied.
Much of the pep shown by the Su-
perbas should be credited to Mike
MOwrey and Ivan Olson, two veteran
infielders, who have been even cast
offs and yet who are skipping about
the infield for Brooklyn with a great
show Of spirits. Much of the enliyen-
ment of the rest of the team may be
attributed to Mowrey and Olson. who

An interesting departure from the
usual scope of experiments with live
stock has been made by the Kansas
agricultural experiment station at
Manhattan in cooperation with the
Animal husbandry division. bureau of
animal industry, Washington, D. c..
A breeding experiment has been start
ed with beef breeding cows that is
to run for 20 years, the purpose be-
Ing to ascertain whether or not there
is a specific type of cow which can
be relied upon to produce beef calves
Of prize-winning merit.
Twenty Shorthorn cows have been
put into this experiment and were Sc
lected by Prof. w. A. COchel of the
Kansas State Agricultural college and
w. F. Ward, senior animal husband
man in beef cattle investigations of
the department of agriculture, from
the herds of the best Shorthorn breed
ers in the country. They were not
selected upon the basis of their merit
and breeding but because each had
produced an outstanding calf.
Shorthorns were selected for this
experiment as the beef breed most
widely distributed throughout the
United States and because of the natu-
raj tendency of the Shorthorn COW to
product both beef and milk In profit
able quantities.
An inspection of this group of
females furnishes the evidence that
Professors CocheI and Ward had
clear and definite conception of the
purpose In hand. They adhere to the
type generally accepted by experienced
breeders as the most reliable pro-
ducing type. They are of breedy ap-
pearance, distinctly feminine in char

windows cannot help but combine to
make a home which will be Of the
maximum comfort and usefulness to
its occupants.
The roof and walls are finished In
shingles stained dark color In the IL
lustration. but If it lis desired. the walls
may be finished in dark-colored stucco.
This finish gives very good satisfaction
since It is now possible to color the
stucco by either a mixture Of the color-
ing with the material when the house
is being constructed, or one of the
stucco paints may be used. which win
also serve as waterproofng material.
1t is desirable to finish the walls In
some dark color In this design on ac-
count Of the pleasing contrast with
the white trim Of the windows and
roof. On account OF the large num-
Der Of windows, with their white
frames and sashes, there are no broad
expanses Of wall surface to present a
monotonous appearance.
Following the type Of construction
used in the cooler parts Of this coun-
try this house is built well above the
ground, which not aly allows large
basement space but llso protects the
house against the I'D and dampness
of the ground, which may be a very
desirable feature in some climates. It
also allows enough headroom In the
furnace room so that the heating ap-
paratus may be easily installed.

~Well, pitchers rarely work their
heads off against cellar champs. Glass

game is practically sewed up. There

Of the basement Is considerable, and
on account Of the nearly square design
Of this bungalow and Its generous pro-
portions the basement may be divided
of Ia manner which will render It Of
maximum value. Not only Is there
room for the usual cold-storage room,
furnace room, and laundry, but a very
handy little worlrroom may be fitted up
with bench and other useful equip
ment Such a little workshop is not
only Of value In repairing and building
articles for the home. but It offers the
younger generation means of spend
ing time at something which win later
prove to be Of considerable value in
the training which 1t gives.
The Interior arrangement of this
bungalow shows the results Of careful
thought on the part Of the designer.
The entrance is into the reception hall,
which continues back through the
house, leading of into the various
rooms. A cased opening on one side
Of the reception hall leads into the
living room, while similar opening on
the other side leads into the dining
room.
The living room offers an exceeding
ly pleasant gathering place for the
family, with its six windows to assure
room which will be bright and cheer
full. There is plenty Of room for some
attractive rugs, wall decorations and
furniture.
The dining room is well lighted and
with its well-placed buffet and gener-
GUS floor and wall space, could be
made into very attractive room by
careful selection Of finish and furni-
ture.
The kitchen contains many features
which should be Of interest to the
housewife. It Is hard to overestimate
the convenience Of the little pantry,
with It's cupboard and refrigerator,
which is iced from the rear porch. AL
though this kitchen Is large enough to
be well ventilated and far from stuffy,
the arrangement gives it all Of the ad-
vantages of the small kitchen.
The front porch Is very cleverly
placed back under the main roof with

posts. The broad steps blend well

Joe Jackson averaged somewhere
around 80 while he was with the
Cleveland club. He was shipped to
the White Sox, a team that was in the
pennant hunt for a while in 1915 and
Joe turned in an average of .30S last
year.
Practically every batsman in the
game hits far better during the last
month of the season than he does dur
ing the first four weeks. But that
is easily explainable. During the
opening month of the campaign most
Of the pitchers are on edge. They
twirl their darndest. And only the
star fingers work during that period.
But toward the fag end of the sea-
son managers of clubs that are out of

batters find it easy to connect with

The rapidly growing popularity Of
the modern bungalow type Of home
for the average-sized family is a strik-
ing evidence of the tendency of the
American home-builder to get away
from the old stately mansion with it's
many rooms, only few, of which were
ever Of any real use; a home In which
the family was spread over the entire
house and the work required to main
tain order was no small item. This
new tendency is one which brings the
family closely together and by the con-
centration Of all their efforts upon the
improvement Of a few well-designed
rooms a new standard of home life is
set in which each member Of the FAM
lily has his little part to play, and
where the results of his labor will be
evident to anyone who happens to
come into the little bungalow home.
Not only this, but the bungalow offers
the family, tired Of climbing two or
three flights Of stairs. an opportunity

Why children like Candy.

Children like candy because Of It's
properties Of sugar, food quickly alb
sorbed by the human system. The
purpose of all food Is to supply the
energy that is wasted by physical ex-
ertion. Some foods more than others
contain the elements necessary to fur
nish this supply and vary in the time
required to feel their benefits.
Sugar Is actually turned into real
energy within few minutes after it
is eaten and candy gives a quick sup
ply Of the energy called for by the ac-
tivities Of youth. Thus the constant
need Of energizing force by children
leads them instinctively to crave cam

flesh and also displaying pronounced
milking qualities. The shoulders are
well laid, hips well covered and there
is ample depth of middle. Without ex-
ception they adhere decidedly to the
breed type. 1t is remarkable that this
number Of females could be obtained
from nearly as many herds in yari-
Gus states representing different strains
Of breeding so nearly of one type.
This demonstrates at the outset that
ShOrthorn breeders are working def
nitely toward standard.
1t Is the purpose to mate with these
females, Scotch bulls bred along show
yard lines. The first sire to be used is
Matchless Dale, the present stock bull
In the college herd, massive son OF
the noted sire of show winners, Avon
dale. Matchless Dale has made rec
ord as sire of show steers, being ac-
credited with having sired more cham
pion Shorthorn steers than any bull,
living or dead.
The experiment is now under way.
The first crop Of calves will be dropped
in September and it is needless to say
that more. than ordinary interest will
center in this first group Of young
sters.
The purpose is to follow a process
of elimination, dlscarding those cows
that do not measure up to the required
standard as producers and substitute
ing others bred within this group.
Whether the specific purpose for which
this experiment Is being conducted
will be fulfilled or not, there is GER
tain to be a vast amount of light shed
upon the problems that confront cattle
breeders who will attentively follow
the progress of this undertaking. The
result should have far-reaching in
fuence In the important field Of cat
