Increasing Use of Wheat Flour.

There seems TO be no doubt that the
consumption OF flour made from wheat IN
creases every year This increase of CON
sumption is not 50 much from the steadily
growing population that have heretofore
used -four as IN article Of food, as from
the fact that many classes are now using
flour that never used it before, or at least
only in small quantities. In the Southern
States wheat flour was not in general use
before the war The negroes We're not
provided with it, and the whites generally
griddle. At present the freedmen are
using flour in large quantities, while the
whites are using more wheat bread than
formerly, for the reason that cooks to
serve hot cakes are less plenty than for
nerly The Chinese who come to this
country, take very readily to eating wheat
bread, instead Of boiled rice, and il is said
that the demand Of flour for export to
China is constantly on the increase. We
learn from the North British A@riculturist
that the consumption Of oatmeal is de-
creasing very fast in Scotland, and that
wheat flour is taking its place This
change commenced about the time labor
ing men began to receive better wages
for their work One reason for the change
from oatmeal to wheat flour is said To be
this: Improvements are constantly being
made in the manufacture of flour and in
styles of cooking it, but no Improvement
has been made in preparing oats for human
food for several hundred years.

Bran and Corn M cal for Cow
