and few grains OF wheat were taken
from his craw. Being very large and
full, they were preserved and plant
ed. The yield was found to be so
great as to lead to its propagation,
until this variety, which is known in
the territory as the 'sGoose Wheat y
has become a standard one in that
section of the country. Samples of
this wheat were recently sent to the
Agricultural department at Washing
ton. Upon examining the samples
at the museum, of which there are
some 1000 varieties, the same wheat
was found, being one of the samples
sent from the Paris Exposition, and
grown in Cuenes, in Spain.

THE soldiers who lost legs in the
war are petitionlng Congress to pro-
vide for keeping them supplied with
artificial legs. They assert that,
with few exceptions, artificial legs
are wholly worn out after five years
use, and that none will bear more
that years usage without repairs.
They ask, therefore, that a bill be
passed authorizing the proper author
ities to furnish all thus disabled with
an order for an artificial leg every
five years. The petition estimates
the number of MANNED soldiers at
5000. We have no doubt that the
petition will be readily granted, as it
is both reasonable and lust.
