A silage crop that keeps without need for a silo is substantially the description of the prickly pear as it grows in the four states bordering on Mexico. It has proved a valuable stock feed, particularly in times of drought on the range, such as ma.v be expected from time to time. As a forage crop It stores Itself, and the three or four-year-old sections of tht plants are relished by cattle. Variety of Cactus. The prickly pears are varieties of cactus, 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 Agi-iculture. 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 i^hop them by machinery. Although able to survive severe droughts for months at a 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 tures five degrees lower. The best prickly pear region in the United States is in Texas southward 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 a succulent forage that may take the place of silage in the ration, usually with a 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, recom mends starting with comparatively few plants, as they multiply rapidly for transplanting. The bulletin, which may be ob tained free on applicatiou- to the United States Department of Agricul ture, Washington, D. C., gives details of the propagation, cultivation and feeding of prickly pears, and men tions the areas where the different varieties may be grown.

If the soil is uninfected and Its fertility is increased by the addition of lime and phos phorus where needed, the extent of the damage will be greatly reduced. Crop rotation Is generally beneficial in checking the damage from disease. Where corn rots are prevalent, clover or a legume crop should be grown in the rotation once every four years, and corn should not follow either corn or wheat. The Illinois and Indiana experiment stations have found that some strains of corn are damaged far less than oth ers by the com rots. Beginning with a strain which has possibilities for im provement, the continuous selection of seed from healthy plants may be ex pected eventually to produce strains strongly resistant to these diseases. I Around the Farm t ♦ ♦ Careful attention should be given turkey eggs which are to be used for hatching. * • • 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 tion which would. If present, slow down the growth of the trees. • • • If a patented silo Is to be built, do not accept lumber having loose knots, any sapwood, or pieces with bark. Sapwood, as a rale. Is less durable than heartwood and will nearly al ways decay first. * * * Protect all planted fruit trees from Injury by rabbits and field mice, es pecially during the fall and winter. One-inch mesh poultry wire, old news papers, or gunny sacks tom in strips six to eight inches wide make satis factory protectors. • • • The grape is attacked by a number of Insects and a few diseases which are capable of causing heavy loss. However, on the average farmstead, grapes of fair quality are somttimes grown without any spraying treat ment being given them.
