he succeeded, and he and his party
soon came upon a variety of sculpt-

WINGED that they had lighted upon
rich vein of archaeological discovery.
They again resumed their researches
in the years 1Si6-l7, and Layard's en-
ergy and perseverance were rewarded
by the discovery of the ground plan
and few scanty remains OF no less
than four distinct structures of a more
or less palatial design. The walls of
most of these had been clearly lined

sent to England by Mr. Layard. to be
placed in the British Museum, and to
be carefully examined by oriental
scholars. The arrival of these treas

mysterious east produced an effect in
scientific circles and among the large

In 1894, forty-four different varieties
of wheat were tested at the Pennsyl-
vania State College Agricultural en-
pertinent station. They were grown
under as nearly similar conditions OF
soil, exposure, fertilizers, culture, etc.,
as possible, and the yields
given in the table below are
computed from careful weights OF
the product of the different plots, made
at the time of threshing. Twenty six
of these varieties have been tested.
In 1894 the Reliable led with a yield OF
thirty-eight bushels per acre and
weighed OK pounds per struck
bushel. Ontario Wonder is second, with
yield of 1915 bushels per acre and
weighing fifty-seven pounds per struck
bushel Following this in the order
named are Rudy, Canada Wonder and
Fulcaster. Seven varieties have av-
eraged over thirty bushels per acre,
viz, the Reliable, Valley, Fulcaster,
Ontario Wonder, Deitz Longberry
