beautiful in design and durable in

of cannon, the waving of flags, the

gone to the woods to cat blackber-

Salt as a Preventive Of Rust in
Wheat.

AS large area in this county
will be sown with wheat during
the present winter. and the only
risk our farmers run in sowing
wheat is the danger of rust, it be-
hooves US to profit by the expert
ence of wheat growers in rust in.
fected countries. In Australia rust
Is the great bugbear, and it has
been proven there by the expert
ence of many years that wheat
sown Oh or near the sea coast Is free
from rust. This has led the farmers
inland to try top-dressing of salt,
and where properly and plentifully
applied it has never failed to ward
Off this dreaded blight. L am not
aware whether the experiment of
sowing wheat very near the ocean
has ever been made in this county;
but if not, would suggest that some
of our farmers living near the sea
should try it. AS coarse salt can be
obtained at the salt works very
cheap, l would also suggest that
some experiments be made with
this as top.dressing, sowing, say,
a ton to the acre about the middle
of March. The Australian writer
says:
1t has been noticed that crops
subject to sea influence are seldom
damaged by rust, while crops
grown few miles inland suffer
equally with those grown at great
er distances.
Another Australian writer says:
Experiments were made by the
Rev. E. Cartwright on rust-infect-
ed crops by dressing them with
salt in solution, the inixture being
at the rate of one pound of salt to
one gallon of water. The result was
completely successful, and the crop
came to maturity.

The Bones of a Sea Serpent.
From the Cincinnati Gazette !

From the Cincinnati Gazette.1
Ellsworth County, Kan, fur
nishes new contribution to natu-
raj history in the shape of the
remains of fossilized sea serpent
OF the prehistoric period. The
discovery was made three miles
north of Wilson, the other day by
a Mr.. Sylvester, while ploughing,
preparatory to opening a stone
quarry.
Having turned over what he sup
posed was piece Of petrified
wood, nearly four feet in length.
but which proved to belong to the
animal Kingdom, further search
was made, following up other
pieces in continuity, varying in
length from one to three feet, until
thirty-six feet in all were secured.
Not until the head was exhumed
was the character of the monster
apparent. No one seeing the re-
constructed segments of the snake
placed in their natural order can
for o moment doubt the genuine
ness Of the discovery.
The remains were found only a
few inches below the surface, with
a thin layer of earth between them
and the underlying rock. The
length of the head is seventeen
inches; width of head, eleven
inches; greatest thickness of body
about one foot. The line of demar-
cation between the upper and lower
jaws, the head and the taper of the
neck, all look serpentine. The
passage of the @sophagus through
the neck, as we'll as that of the
alimentary canal, some fifteen feet
further on in the body, is clearly
traceable. The outline of the back
bone is distinctly seen in number
of the sections composing the re-
mains. Some of the larger verte.
bl9 are four inches across, and it is
about the same distance between
the vertebral spaces-or, compara-
lively speaking, they are the size
of the vertebr@ of a large horse. A
portion of the caudal extremity
some ten or fifteen feet-is missing,
having been removed by pre-
vious quarryman, so that the orig
inal length of the monster was
probably fifty feet.
