ted, the lengthy bulletins Of the real estate
agent Of property for sale, and a depreciation
in value Of thirty three per cent, as compared

THE CAUSE OF RUST ON WHEAT.-The.
lose long continued analytical researches Of
DR.. Sprengel led 70 the conclusion that an
excess Of Iron salts, and especially Of the
phosphate Of iron, greatly increases tho growth
Of red dust on the, leaves and culms Of wheat
and other cereals. "A soil in tho vicinity OF
Brunswick that did not lack drainage but
limo, was remarkable for growing wheat and
barley, always attaokea'an d generally blight.

into field generally free from, this ruinous
parasite, to artificial soil fifteen inches In
depth. Wheat planted in this was badly rus.
tied, while that grown all around II, il the
same field was free from ths malady. There
