An industry that is rapidly gaining
popularity in Florida and the South is
the growing of spineless cactus. It
fas developed that this product is in
comparable as a cattle and hog food.
The American Spineless Cactus Com
pany, of Jacksonville, Fla., tells in an
interesting manner the results of ex
periments made with this product and
', . Redgrave, in an article in The
Florida Farmerr and Homeseeker,
says: “If one-half that is said about
the food value of spineless cactus is
true no cattie raiser can afford to
pass it by.”
According to the Jacksonville con
cern, cmctus can be grown success
fully along the coast and interior val
leys of Californla, Southern Arizona,
Texas, Louisiana Mississippi, Ala
bama, Georgia, South Carolina and
Florida as a perennial and any agri
cultural portion of the United States |
as an annual plant ‘
In hot, dry countries it c¢an be'
planted at any time of the vear, but in |
cold, rainy countries the plant shouid |
be dried before planting. It will grow
better than anything else in the poor
est soil
It will grow as a perennial any
where with from 5 1o 100 inches of
rainfall and where it does not freeze
over one Inch In wet ground it
should be planted where the surplus
water will drain off

On good soll, well taken care of, it

It is green all the year round and

LOS ANGELES, Jan. I.—The pro

have a movie show adjunct. The old
worn geography is partially to give
way to the flickering films. For the
school children of Los Angeles County
are to be given instruction in certain
lines of study through the means of
motion ptctures.
At a conference between the Board
of Supervisors and the County Civil
Service (‘ommission, the position of
Superintendent of Visual Education
was provided for in a new county sal
ary ordinance. This new department
will have charge of instruction with
motion pictures in the county schools,
The new position will be under the
jurisdiction of the County Superin
tendent of Schools, Mark Keppel, and
the Superintendent of Visual Instruc
tion is to rank as a Deputy County
Superintendent
One of the features of the county
salary ordinance, by which the sal
aries of nearly 4,000 county employees
will be regulated, is the creation of
three classes, A B and C, to apply to
all positions
; Class A is ?]l"'lvr'l‘likfl(l'\flr\ period
| All those who go into the county serv
ice must be in this class for the first
"u‘m At the end of that period they
automatically go into the second class,
ilhelr salaries automatically increas
ilnl. The second class is intended to
cover the great majority of emaplovees
Class C is the highest, and the em
ployvee can only go into this class
’!hrmmh meritorious and efficient ser
| ice after three years' employment at
least. To go Into Class C the employvee
must be recommended by the Bureau
lof EfMiclency, with approval of the
Board of Supervisors

cactus was fed each day to each pen,
or § 1o 7 1-2 pounds to each hog.
After 22 days, from May 30, 19183, to
June 22, 1913, the eight hogs showed
a net gain of 118 pounds. The net
gain per hog for the twenty days was

Food for mnuo. ‘
During the above test & thorough
bred Berkshire sow. with four suck.
ling pigs. was put upsn & diet of cac
tus and rolled banley. Through lnck
of proper supply of milk, this sow had
lont several of her litter, and the re.
mapining four were in poor condition.
The sow responded quickiy to the
cactus feed, giving a decided increase
in flow of milk, the result offwhich
wis shown in the rapid growth and
wood condition of the suckling pins
The small pigs soon learned (o like
the cactus and ate 't greedily.
The University of Arizons. after a
very careful and exhaustive series of
experiments, has proven that without
any doubt whatever spineless cactus
is rich in food value and that both its
leaves and fruit are bighly nutritious
