Prickly Pear Is
Valuable as Feed
Particularly Advantageous
in Times of Drought on
Stock Ranges.

prepared by the United states Department

A silage crop that keeps without
need for silo Is substantially the
description of the prickly pear as it
grows in the four states bordering on
Mexico. 1t has proved a valuable
stock feed, particularly in times of
drought on the range, such as may
be expected from time to time. AS
forage crop 1t stores itself, and the
three or four-year-old sections Of the
plants are relished by cattle.
Variety Of Cactus.
The prickly pears are varieties of
cactrs, and may be divided roughly
into spiny and spineless forms, ac-
cording to Farmers Bulletin 1072-F,
"Prickly Pear as Stock Feed" just IS
sued in a revised edition by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
The "spineless" varieties are not
smooth but are relatively free from
spines and cattle can eat them with
out inconvenience. The custom is to
burn the spines off the sping varie-
ties with a gasoline blowtorch or to
chop them by machinery.
Although able to survive severe
droughts for months at time. the
prickly pears require good water sup
plies at some time each year. They
do not thrive under severe cold, and
the spineless varieties. as a rule, do
not thrive if the temperature falls be-
low 20 degrees at any time. The
spiny varieties may tolerate tempera-
lures five degrees lower. The best
prickly pear region in the United
States is in Texas southwark from
the Edwards plateau.
Valuable as Feed.
In times of drought the prickly pear
has proved a great value in carrying
herds of cattle until pasturage is re-
vived by rain. Prickly pear is grow
ing in favor as succulent forage
: that may take the place of silage in
the ration, usually with dry forage
and a concentrate added in case of
dairy cows. In Texas some varieties
Of prickly pear will produce without
cultivation, but cultivation is likely
to prove profitable in developing a
greater tonnage of economical feed.
Prickly pear is propagated from cut
tings, and the cuttings are so bulky
that freight costs are likely to prove
excessive if extensive planting is at
tempted. David Griffiths, author Of
Farmers Bulletin 1072-F, recon-
mends starting with comparatively
few plants, as they multiply rapidly
for tfppsplanting.
Tne bulletin, which mary be- 0gR
tained free on application to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D.. c., gives details
Of the propagation. cultivation and
feeding of prickly pears, and mem
tons the areas where the different
varieties may be grown.

DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE

Alfred p. Sloan. of automobile
fame, was talking at the Bankers
club in New York about the automo-
bile price war.
""One man." said Mr. Sloan, "pre.
diets that he'll give us good 500
car within three years, but such q
car is impossible.
'This predicter reminds me of a
chap who was held up one morning
by friend, but he jerked loose and
said as he trotted off:
Excuse me, George, l can't stop;
I'm catching the S:15 train
"'Well,' George yelled after him,
you'd better hurry, then. just

Careful attention should be, given
turkey eggs which are to be used for
Matching.
A portable brooder house is an aid
in preventing chick troubles. The
brooder house and chick range should
be ON clean ground.
It is always essential to maintain
an area Immediately around the young
trees free from competitive vegeta-
ton which would, If present, slow
down the growth of the trees.
If patented silo is to be built, do
not accept lumber having loose knots,
any sapwood. or pieces with bark.
Sapwood, as rule, is less durable,
than heartwood and will nearly al.
ways decay first. M
Protect all planted fruit trees from
injury by rabbits and field mice, es-
pecially during the fall and winter.

STARVATION CAUSE
 OF CAPITALS FALL
Rebellion Forces Aighanistan
 King Into Air Flight

London, Oct. 10 UP)-Bacha Sakao, the bandit king of Afghan istan, has fled from kabul by air plane for some unknown destna- tion in India.
 Following close upon dispatches from Peshawar confirming the fall of Kabul and the invasion of the Afghan capital by the forces Of Nadir Khan, the report of Sakao's flight was taken to indicate that Sakao had resolved to abandon the throne after revolt within the capital itself made it impossible to defend the city against the enemy. Dispatches from Calcutta said Ma dir Khan, aided by new tribal SUD- port, was able to place kabul in such position that the inhabitants were almost foodess. Thousands were reported to have died from starvation and Bacha Sakao was forced to- manufacture leather money and equip his men with bat tie axes instead of guns.
 Much speculation. the dispatches said. has already developed as to the possibility of the return of Amanullah, whom Sakao dethroned last spring and who had been in Italy ever since.

Paris, Oct. 10.-The real Yankees have como back. They are 25O vet erans of the Twenty Sixth Division of the A. E. F., known as the Yankee Division from New England, and they are in France chiefly to dedi- cate the new village church in Bel leau as a memorial to their fallen comrades. With French officials CO., operating the ceremony will take place today.
 Men of the Twenty Sixth have built where they once destroyed. They comprised the first National Guard division 10 arrive in France and on July 19, 1918, their artillery fire shattered the ancient 18th ccn- tury church of the peaceful little village. On the same day they took the town.
 New Edifice on Site of Ruined Ore
 Survivors of the division decided three years ago that, as an ideal expression of reverent memory to their dead and at the same time a bond with that France delivered by American arms, no more fitting me- morial could stand than a new church in the village of Belleau. More than $40.00O was raised through contributions of veterans of the Twenty Sixth, and tho new church now stands on the Chateau Thierry road the same site of the old church, and directly opposite the entrance to the American Milf tary cemetefy which lies on the fringe of Belleau Wood. The shad- ow of Old Glory on the flag staff of the cemetery is thrown at eve ning-tide over the church and the village.
