Prickly-Pear for fodder purposes: An interesting machine called the "B and H Pear-burner," obtained from Texas U. S. A., is now under trial by the Department of Agriculture, Bombay. It consists of a 2 gallon vessel to which is fixed an air pump and from which a motal lance tube leads to a vaporizer 4 feet away. The tank is filled two-thirds with petrol and the air is pumped in. A strong flumo easily adjustable and capable of being turned in all directions is obtained at the vaporizer end and this easily burna off the spines. The next thing is to teach cattle to feed on such treated bushes. The machine costs Rs. 68-2-0 landed in Poons. The cost of working is not yet known. T. S. V.
