THE ELASTICITY OF THE EARTH.
Collins


Some interesting experiments have
recently been carried out by Prof.
Milne, +. X. s.. the well known an
thority on seismology. to demonstrate
the elasticity of the earth especially
under the influence of the tides Some
years ago he showed that yalleys dur.
Ing the day are OF greater width than
ut night, there being an expansion or
opening out under the action of the
sun and contraction or closing up
In the hours of darkness. He also
showed by means of seismographlc rec
ords secured at his observatory at
shide, that the Isle of Wight alternate
ly moves forward and backward with
the variation of the tides. the greater
pressure of the water at high tide In
the English channel as compared with
that in the Solent and Spithead caus.

ly from the channel side.
His latest experiments In this dI.

been set up in an underground posi-

COOPERATION IN LIVE STOCK
WORK.

| Various communities in Colorado
have for several years been success
ful in cooperative effort for the grow
ing and marketing of various kinds of
melons and fruits. Examples are the
cantaloupe growers and the fruit
growers associations.
The live stock men have also been
organized The local stockmen's as
| sociations, through state organiza.
! tion. are able to command many ben
ehts from the state that would other
wise not be secured. such as adequate
records of brands. protection Of flocks
from the depredaIions of human and
other enemies, and control of disease.
Through representatives In the legis'
lature and state administration the
united live stock interests are able to
secure much of the states aid and at.
tention.
Cooperation in live stock work,
however, can be carried further. and
another class OF benefits secured. Such
benefits are represented by the com
munity system of work. Ninety-five
per cent OF the farmers of Denmark
are members OF cooperative dairies.
Cattle. there. are slaughtered co-opera.
lively and eggs are handled by "A CO.
operative egg export society. Wau-
kesha county. Wisconsin, is breeding
both Percheron horses and Berkshire
swine on the community plan.
In using the community plan. the
farmers organize in counties or other
small units for the production OF
certain kind OF breed of live stock.
II Percheron horses are selected. the
organization will buy one or more
stations and will contract in behalf
Of several of the farmers for a large
number OF pure bred mares. thereby
getting much more favorable prices
than single farmer could. secure.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The ashes
OF Sidney Laseelles, alias Lord Beres-
ford, whose body was cremated here
last week, remain unclaimed at the
crematory, as did his body after death
for many years at Ashville. n. C. The
undertaken who cremated the body
said today that nobody claimed the
ashes. that he had been paid for the
work and would keep the dust in a
metallic case until someone called for
1t. AS TO who gave him the order to
cremate the body of the alleged biga.

nothing TO say. A legal record of the
cremation was made by the health de

PEAR AND CHERRY TREE SLUG.

| The little brown slug that defoliates
the pear. plum and cherry trees dur.
| ing the summer season Is one of the
easiest Of our insects to control No
one need allow this insect to do any
serious harm 10 his trees, II he will
thoroughly use any one OF the rene.
dies mentioned below.
The little black fly which is the
parent Of this so-cailad slug, deposits
it, eggs, one in place, Just beneath
the epidermls OF the upper surface OF
the leaves. Where each egg is laid
there is produced IA very tist'nct brown
spot about fhe size OF u small pin
head which is readily seen with the
naked eye. When this insect is at
all abundant, Il Is often the case that
many of the leaves will have rom one
TO two 10 hplf dozen or more OF
these eggs laid in them. If one has
learned TO recognize these little brown
spots, it is quite easy TO determine
beforehand whether or no. the glugs
are going 10 be abundang upon the
trees.
Renedies-Any time after the eggs
have been laid. and befo e the slugs
have become nearly full gr.wn, the
Injury to the trees may be almost en-
tirely prevented by spraying them thor
oughly with arsenate of lead in water,
In ihe proportion of one pound OF the
poison to each 25 or 80 gallons Of
water. The spray shoIld be made
very fine and should De applied to the
upper surface OF the leaves In such
way as lightly TO cover them ON all
parts OF the tree. Spraying should
not lie continued until the lca,es drip.
1t is advisable to make the application
as soon as the first little slugx are no.
ticed on the leaves.
If the application is not made until
the cherries are pretty well grown. It
is advisable to use white hellebore
instead OF the arsenate OF lead. apply
ing 1t In the proportion OF one ounce
to each three gallons OF water. This
P'loon Is DfSt appDtu evening
II the trees are quite small and few
in number. the hellebore may be ap.
piled as a dust by sitting 1t upon the
leaves through cheese cloth sack
when there is no wind blowing.
Very fine road dust or ashes or air
slaked lime may be used to remove
the slugs from the trees. II these pow.
ders are freely applied. the slugs will
drop to the ground and almost none
OF them will find their way back to
the trees. These dust applications.
however, are not SO efficient as the
poison sprays mentioned above.
A similar slug often destroys the
foliage OF rose bushes, and 1t may be
destroyed by the use Of either Of the
poisons above mentioned. The dust
are not so effectuxi
against the slug that attacks the roses.

LAMB FEEDING EXPERIMENTS

The Colorado experiment station
has Just sold two cars OF lambs that
were used in its feeding experiments
the past winter. These lambs brought
the top OF the market at Chicago,
selling for $500 per cwt. The wool
from them sold at 21is cents pound.
These lambs were fattened in four
separate lots. For a number of years

preme court of North Dakota Justice
Holmes said that there were so many
uncertainties about the rate being
confiscatory that the supreme court
did not feel justified in overruling the
state court, which held the law would
not prove conf1scatory if put into eff
feet.
The affirmation was made, how
ever, with the statement that such ac-
ton should not prejudice the case Of
the railroads after the law went into
effect and the measure did prove con-
fiscatory -
Law Was Passed In 1907.
Since 1907 there has been a law in
the state Of North Dakota to fix the
rates on coal transported by railroads
within the state. The Northern Pa
cific and the Great Northern Railroad
companies, failing to put the rates
into effect, the state brought suit in
the supreme court of North Dakota to
prevent the charging of higher rates
on coal transportation than those pro.
vfded by the law of 1905. --.
The railroads replied that the law
was unconstitutional. The reason as,
signed for this was that the statute
sought to take the property of the
railroads without due process of law
and that it was an interference with
Interstate commerce. .-..'
The supreme court of the state nel6
the law constitutional and ordered tn
issuance of a restraining order.

LONG CONTROVERSY ENDED
Decision Affecting Certain Lands In
Minnesota.


Washington, March 15.-The SUI
preme court of the United States has
announced decision in the long con-
troversy over the title to certain land
in Minnesota in favor of Peter Froy-
seth, a homesteader, and against the
trustees of the Hastings and Dakota
Railroad company.
Scarcity of unallotted land in the
state Of Minnesota was the foundation
of this suit of ejectment, brought by
Russell Sage as assignee in trust for
the Hastings and Dakota Railway
company against Froyseth, who like
wise claimed the ownership of quar-.
ter section of land in Chippewa coun-
ty, MINI. Sage was succeeded as
trustee by Edward G. Osborn and j.
J. Slocum.
A decision was given by the Mime
sofa courts favorable to Froyseth.
This was affirmed by the supreme
court of the United States in an opin-
ion announced by Justice Lurton.
