Inverness is Going, But it May be

Inverness, the capital of the High
lands, is threatened with a terrible
calamity, according to DIR. Davidson
of Birmingham, an authority in seis-
mology. IL is known of geologists
that Inverness occupies a most inter
esting position at the outlet of the
great crack, or crevasse, in the geo
logical formation of the northern part
of the island, which, as the Caledo-
nian canal, cuts the country in two,
says Pearson's Weekly.
DIR. Davidson warns the inhabitants
of Inverness to be prepared for earth
quakes periodically. The earth's crust
in the Inverness district is gradually

My...ry OF MIX rorm.t,o.

The mystery of the formation of
milk is one that has engaged the at
tention of good many scientists One
theory is that milk is blood held in
suspension. This may not be true and
it may be true. Certainly milk when
exposed to a high degree of heat
changes color and takes on the ap-
pearance of dried blood. The soldiers
in the War of the Rebellion found this
out and used it for secret writing.
They wrote with their pens dipped in
milk. The recipients took the letters
and baked them in an oven and the
lines became legible. Those opposing
this theory say, however, that the
analysis OF blood and of milk is not;
absolutely identical. This may have
some force as an argument and it may
not have The question OF analysis is
a very large one, and there are as yet
several unknown quantities in it. 1t
seems about certain that the watsr
and the casein in the milk are filtered
from the blood. The formation of fat
is mixed up with the building up and
breaking down of cells. But the ma
terial for this work must come from

To Prevent Lungworm Infection.


Report Bureau of Animal Industry:
While the outlook for successful med
ica1 treatment of cases of 1ungworm
infection, and of infection with the
encysted stomach-worm (Strongy1us
OsterlagD is not encouraging, at least
a part of the infection may be pre-
vented. The following methods for
prevention are suggested:
First Every ranch should have a
hospital pasture situated on high, dry
ground, well drained and without any
pools or ponds; it should be supplied
with raised troughs for watering and
feeding, and the water supply should
come from a we'll This pasture should
not drain into any pasture in which
healthy stock are feeding.
Second. AS soon as any sick animal
is noticed in the large pasture it
should Immediately be separated from
the healthy stock and taken to the
hospital pasture. To allow sick ami
mails to run at large with healthy
stock means to deliberately permit the
spread of infection in the pastures
and thus endanger the well animals.
Third. Proper watering places
should be supplied in the large pas
lures by digging wells and erecting
windmills to pump the water into
tanks. These tanks should be raised
above the ground so that they can
not become contaminated with the
droppings from animals being washed
into them by rains and floods.
Fourth. Select high, sloping ground
for pasture when this is possible Low
pastures should be properly drained.
Fifth. Burn the pastures regularly,
thoroughly and systematically. The
heat from the burning grass will kill
many of the eggs and young worms on
the grass, ground and in the drop
pings.
Sixth AS these parasites are more
fatal to young animals than to old
ones. liberal supply of oats or some
similar food will aid in giving to
young animals strength that will en-
able them to Withstand the infection.
A daily allowance of, say, half
pound of oats per lamb ought to re-
duce the mortality. At first, they may
not be inclined to eat it, but will soon
become accustomed to it. This simple
precaution is reported as very effectual
in New Zealand
Seventh. Keep plenty of salt acces-
sible to the animals. Some men add
slaked lime to the salt AS a matter
of experience salt kills many young
worms.

Is something to carefully consider

The powerful digestive system is need

cows that can eat any amount and

Distanee Apart to Plant Trees.
On this question there seems to be
little consensus of opinion. All kinds
OF advice are given. The list of dis
tances apart of planting one year is
denied by its makers the next The
reason for this lies in the great di-
versity OF conditions. One man said
to the writer that he had planted his
plum trees nine feet apart Another
said that fifteen was necessary. But
there are many varieties of plum trees
and they have different habits of
growth There are also many kinds
of soils, and each kind varies as to
the amount of plant food it contains.
1t is safe to say that no rule can be
laid down. 1t is equally safe to ad-
wise that the distances between trees
be as large as practicable It is bet
ter 10 have too much room than too
little When trees are very close to-
gether. the crossing roots make all

turns for the work put upon it. The
soil that the cucumber likes best is a
warm. sandy, light soil Any soil.
however, will do, if not exceedingly
heavy. The ground should be well
prepared, which is the requisite for al
most any crop. The old way of pre-
pairing the ground was to burn over
a piece of ground, dig a hole and put
in a wheelbarrow load of manure. This
mode is still with US. The method
does not commend itself, especially
the part that requires a large pile of
manure in the hill 1t is far better
to mix the manure with the soil. When
the manure is placed in the soil in
mass the roots that penetrate it dry
out more quickly than do the same
roots if penetrating a firmer bed. 1t
is of no use to plant cucumber seed
before the weather has settled down
and the ground has become warm.
Cucumbers need a good deal of room,
and the usual mistake is to get the
hills so close together that the vines
are numerous and picking is done
with difiiculty. Hills should be not
closer to each other than four feet,
and when the plants are up they
should be thinned out to not more
than two or three in q hill. II the
