phorus has been found to mcre abound

is a relation between the kinds OF food

faithful servant asks for bread SHALL we

Every one who has had aught to DO
with a h orse knows that he becomes a
more merveusly active animallt fed upon
oats, than if fed upon grass or upon
corn, and that "%wheat will also put the
life Into him. Whoever also has had
a Scotch master, scholar, or companion,
knows that great nervous activity and
endurance will be necessary to keep
pace with the Scotch mind. Has this
fact no relation to the oatmeal cakes that
are a byword for the land whence he
came All preparations of oatmeal
will make Scotch metaphysics easy to
take, and no other physic necessary.
Again, Graham, with his scratch the
slimentary canal idea, brought into
vogue the fashion Of eating unboited
wheat, overvaluing the brsu, that he
thought was pregnant with virtues.
Had he bolted out the bran, the bread
would have been improved, since its
virtues are latent in the brown part,
between the bran and the white flour
The brown contains the chief part OF
the phosphates of the wheat, and is, for
branial purposes, worth ten times as
much per pound as the white flour
Indeed the brown, or middlings, or
( kernel, or grudgeons, Of the wheat, is
the cheapest grain food that the market
supplies. Unbolted wheat flour comes
! next in order, cracked wheat being IN
,, the same category. Wheat entire,
boiled, or broug ght almost to boiling for
several hours, furnishes a very delicious
. and wholesome food, either eaten PLAIN
