covery of n strange animal which was
lately caught In the Illinois River, near
that city, by AN old fisherman named
Nick Oil. 1.-The animal belongs I o the
order of urodela. commonly spoken Of
n tailed amphibians. In some respects
i, resembles a lizard. but more closely
the Mexican axolotl. II has, like the
lizard, four short legs, with which IL
crawls about on the bottom Of the river.
The curious part of it lies in the branch
Is Of feathery-like processes attached
to the outside Of the body, Just back Of
the head. There are no eyes. but the
rudiments Of eyes are plainly to he
seen beneath the skin. One Of these
curious smphibians was caugh, in our
river several years ago, and was sent

information. has tie following in rcla-
ton to narrowing wheat
The practice Of narrowing winter
wheat in the spring Of the year has OBJ
tanned to some extent in the Western
States; and reasoning from analogy,
Mr.. =. NJ. Human, Of Boulder county.
a member of the Board having II
field of wheat which failed To have n
good stand, and whose general look
was every way inferior to the balance
of his wheat. decided tn harrow the
field and notice the result. The har-
row was faithfully applied when the
Young wheat Wa four to six inches
high. Many Of Mr.. Humans neigh
bors. VINO witnessed the operation,
were very free TO express their opinion
that the wheat would be ruined. Such,
however. was not the case, "a Mr.. Hin
man informed me that Immediately
after the narrowing the wheat took a
better look. and commenced growing
rapidly; and at harvest time the field
so treated gave the largest yield.
