Cacti of Every Deseription-Vaina ble Uses Found for These Mon trosities of Plant Life-Some Contain a Water SuppY. C OVERN lENT expedition has just returned from the exploration of a vegetal won *derland. It is a region to tally unlike any other part of the United States-the home of those mon stros,t-es of plant life called cacti. The country is known as the "desert of the chapparal," its extent being from the Nueces River of Texas to the north front of the eastern Sierra Madres of Mexico, and from the mouth of the Pecos on both sides of the Rio Grande nearly to the Gulf. It has been under txamination by the geological survey for the purpose of finding water, and many suitable localities for artesian wells have been discovered. "The region is unique," said Mr. Robert 1. Hill of the expeditioa. "It is a wide, low-lying plain, through which meanders in a sinuous course the muddy Rio Grande. The country is covered with a dusty desert soil, on which grows the remarkable vegeta tion known as 'chapparal.' This vege tation embraces many species of plants that are known cisewhere in the world, and each one of them is armed with a kind of thorn appropriate for its pro tection. Hero those vegetal freaks, the cacti, assume an astonishing var iety of strange forms, every one of them bristling with defensive weapons, that run all the way from needles up to the size of bayonets. The cactus, you know, is a new type of plant on the face of the earth. There is reason to believe that it did not exist an ciently at all-anciently, that is to say, from the geological point of view. The tendency to a gradual drying up of the land surfaces of the globe hav ing brought about desert conditions in places, certain plants have adopted modes of growth suitable for the stor ing of water. At the same time their leaves have become modified into thorns, for their 1,:otection against animals. Though some of them look as if scarcely alive, they are found to be juicy enough when cut into, and many of them are useful to man. "The chapparal, in a general way, may be described as a dense shrubby vegetation, growing just about high enough to obstruct the view of a man on horseback. It mio'ht be said to be made up of a series of thorny layers, which combined render travel through it extremely arduous and even pain ful. Under foot, close to the ground, are innumerable cacti of the 'pincush ion' and 'Turk's head' species. They bristle with keen and sharp thorns, which easily penetrate the uppers of ones shoes. It you are thirsty, how ever, you have only to batter in the crown of on~e of the Turk's heads, and inside of it you will find a delicious draught of water cool and fresh. "Just above the pincushions, and high enough to stick into the calves of the legs, come the needle-like points of the 'Spanish dagger' or 'ixtie.' This, too, has its usefulness, being the great fiber-producing plant of Mexico. It is ai small species of aloe, its thick blade-like leaves termi nating in curved needles. Higher again, so as to reach any point be tween the knee and shoulder of the traveler, ;s the famous 'nopal' Thi. huge variety of prickly pear is the National plant of Mexico, figuring in the coat of arms of that country. The design on one side of the Mexican sil ver dollar represents an eagle with a snake in its break rising out of a "no pal' bush. The fruit of tnis plaut is pear-shaped and nearly as big as a Bartlett pear, having a deep cochi neal color. In fact, it was from this kind of cactus that the insects furnish ing the cochineal of commerce used to be obtained, before that product w,i driven out of th~e market by a coal tar substitute. "Woe to the weary wayfarer who on a hot summer day yields to temp tation and eats this inviting fruit. Hie will quickly find himself in a high fever, which, though not insting, is unpleasant. The flat leaves are un covered with long and keen needl1es, while at the~ base of each leaf is a group of smaller and almost invisible needles. The latter, however, inflict wounds which are to be felt for days. Higher yet, and above the shoulder reaches the 'Spanish bayonet,' a kind of yucca. Standing in a flower pot in a garden, this plant is a handsome and innocent ornament, but in the chap paral its danger-like points stab through the clothing into the flesh "Above, forming a dense mat over the head of the traveler, are the thorny shrubs of many species-chief ly the mesquite and its allies, such as the 'huishache,' the 'guaxillo' and the 'cat's claw.' Beneath the beautiful and finely cut leaves of these shrubs are innumerable thorns. The 'gaux illo' is a sensitive plant. If you touch oue of its leaves gently it will shrink and shrive-l up for the moment. If you attempt to handle the plant roug hly, however, the sharp curvedK claws concealed beneath the leav-es will make you sorry, The 'guaxillo" maLes a rattling so like that of a rat t.esnake as to frightn anybody who is -nexnerienced. "The native Indians, popalarly known as 'dexicans, have use for every one of these strange plants of the chamaral. From different sr.,- S they obtain soap. hair tonic, tooth brushes, hairbrushes and even medi cines. Along the lower Rio Grande the mesquite beans are made into breaa. Horses are exceedingly fond of these beans. and for them will abanden tho choicest oats at any time. The mesquite leaves are masti cated as an antidote for fever. It is said that a traveler can live in that country without water for a consider able time by chewing the pulp of the thick leaves of the 'nopal.' The latter is utilized for food as cattle, and a baby food made from the juicy pulp has recently been placed on the mar ket. "Many of the plants of the chappa ral possess medicinal and economical values unrecognized up to date. Al though in a sense a 'desert,' the term as applied to this region is a mis nomer, for concealed among the thorny vegetation are many bunches of nutritious grasses, while nearly all of the shrubs produce rich crops of beans, on which cattle, goats and sheep thrive marvelously. The vege tation has a peculiar habit of being always in fruit-a part of it, that is to say. The fruiting is not controlled by the seasons, but by rainfall. One of ten sees a tree bearing flowers and ripe fruit at the same time, whether it be in June or December. The blos soms yield the finest quality of honey, and stock raisers in the region have gone largely into the business of bee keeping. The wood of the mesquite tree has a hard aad close grain, and is valuable for paving. The streets of San Antonio are paved with blocks of this wood. I forgot to say that the natives make a thick paste from the 'nopal,' which they apply all over the hody of a person suffering from small pol."-Washington Star. A New Diet 1or Cats and Dogs. One of the strangest and most profit able trades of London is the wholesale and retail business of horaemeat for cat and dog food. In barrows, pony traps and hand carts the hawkers of horseflesh cry their wares throughoat the city and find a ready and constant sale for them. There is hardly a householder that fails to buy of the "cat's meat man." Actually 23,000 horses, played out, maimed and aged, aro killed and cut un in the English metropolis every year for this purpose. All day long and all night long the slaying of these beasts goes on, and the three or four establishments that cater to the trade continually have their hands full. Each horse means, on an average, 273 pounds of meat, and as 26,000 horses a year mean 500 horses a week, it fol lows that the cats and dogs of London whose masters and mistresses patron ize the "horse food" man manage to dinpose of over ten tons a day. The hawkers sell this meat ini half-penny weights, a pound cutting up into six of these portions, each being piroper ly skewered. An interesting fact in relation to the skewers is that hsif a ton of them are used each day, or 12 tens of dead wood a year. The teni tons a day of dead hiorso are cut up into1:34,400 meals. The maguita lo of the trade can be seen from the fact that it keeps constantly employol thirty wholesale salesor.cn. Fale of the Yacht Amnerica. Dismantled of her rigging, a cast away housed ovei like a forgotten canal boat, with her weatherbeaten deck rotting in the air and her hull rotting in the green waters beneath, the yacht America lies to-day ab,nost unknown in the river close to the new bridge at Chelsea, Mas-. There she has lain for four years, siuce the day that Ben Butler sailed in her for the last time, when he left her deck with the mark of death upon him. IHer masts have long since lost their tapering straightness. The gleaming white hull which in those glorious old days first attracted the at tention of the young Queen of England is black and green with dirt and sea grass. Instead of the trim deck, a dirty tar-coaled deckhouse covers her from stein to stern. But this has not fully protect ed her by any means, and she is fail ing away beneath it inato decay. While General Butler lived she was pui in commission every summer. The very year he died he had her at one of the Eastern races, and there he fol lowed along with the cr-ack Burgess schooners, the Mlayflower and the Constellation.

FAIRM AND HOUSEHOLD. A SUGGESTION 4BOUT OATs. If one-fourth of the oats grown in the United States were mowed just as the grain is in full milk, and before the straw became vitreous, it would be better for the farmer as well as the cattle. Horses prefer it to any kind of hay or grain, and eat the whole substance; but if we cut it after the straw is ripe it is totally lost. Cows led with one meal a day of this fodder thrive admirably. The farmer would have a substitute in part for hay when the crop is short.-New York Inde pendent. ROOSTING SEED FOR TURKEYS. The turkey usually seeks a high roosting place as a matter of protec tion from enemies, but the jumping from the tree limbs often cause lame ness. They are also exposed in win ter, which causes roup. A cheap shed, open on one side, with a high roost, will protect them from winds, and at the same time give them all the advan tages of being in the open air. Such a shed will cost but little, but care must be taken that no holes or cracks TURKEYs roOSTING SHED. are in the walls, as small currents of air are more injurious than exposures outside. The walls may be lined with tough paper of some kind, which may be tacked on. By this arrangement more turkeys can be raised, and they will be less liable to disease. They can be easily taught to go under the shed by placing wire mesh along the front and confining them therein for a few days. The house should face the south. -Farm and Fireside. EEBOSENE FOR LICE. Here is the way our contributor, H. B. Geer, uses kerosene to kil[ lice or to keep them from little chicks: First, before setting a hen, we clean out the nest box and sprinkle the bottom and sides of it inside with kerosene oil. Then we put in fresh strav and the eggs, and so set the hen. But we put no kerosene on the straw about the eggs, and none on the hen. When the chickens are first hatched we take the coop and sprinkle it with kerosene just as we did the nest box. Then we put some dry dust in the bot tom of it. We take the hen and rub her shanks with a soft rag saturated with the kerosene oil. We also rub her feathers under the neck-hackle, about the roots of the tail, and just a little bit lightly underneath the wings, with the rag filled with the odor of the oil, but not heavily saturated or drip ping. We put no kerosene and no lard or oil of any kind directly on the little chickens. In fact, we have never greased or ciled the heads of a dozen young chickens in all the days of our life. The sprinkling of the interior of the coop with the kerosene once a week thereafter will keep the brood free of lice. The same precaution will protect the chickens after they re weaned, so long as they roost in the coop. There is no question about kerosene being the best remedy for lice and mites. and in all our experience with it we have never lost any chickensi from the use of it, when applied as above suggested. -Texas Farm andi Ranch. Do YOUR COWS PAY THEIR BOARD? With the price of feed at figures seldom reached, it is fitting that the farmer should inquire of himself 11 his cows are paying for their board, writes John S. Shawver. Through observation, experience and practical I tests, with the aid of a Babcock milk I test, I am led to believe that fully one-third of the cows in an average community will not pay for thxeir care and feed in an average year, and that in this year of short crops, such as is generally througho'ut the State ofl Ohio, it is quite probable that two thirds of the cows now on the farms of the State will not pay their way. It is important, therefore, that the poor cows be culled out as soon as possible, ar.d the easiest way this can be done is to put them to a strict test. You might churn ei:eh cow's milk sep arately and thus find her value ; but it is much easier to weigh the milk of each cow, take samples of the same and have it tested on a Babcock ma chine. Where a number of cows are kept, it would pay the farmer to pur chase a machine of his own, but where he does not care to do this let him take samples to some one who has a machine and have their value ascer tained. Unless a cow tests four p)er cent. or more she must give a very large flow of milk, or she is unprofitable ; yet 1 have not tested any herd excepting my own which has not resulted in finding one or more below 3.2, and in several instances a s low a.s 2. Let us get rid of the poor cows be fore feeding them another winter on high-priced feed. Do not ask the good cows to pay for their own feed, the feed of the poor ones, and then put a little profit in your pockets be eies J3etter to seonre more profi; from fewer cows on less feed by send ing the poor ones to the butcher's block. But remember one thing, however, and that is, when you ha-1e found out your poor cows do not at tempt to sell them to your neighbori as good butter cows. In buying a cow, test both the quantity and qual. ity of her milk before making the pur ebase,-Farm and Fireside. RECIPES. Stirred Eggs--Beat four eggs witb enough sugar to taste.
