Wheat Injured BY Th,eshing.

An important inquiry has been made AS
to whether machine-threshed wheat is not
injured for seed. II is stoutly claimed by
some farmers that II is so injured. An in-
stance is given OF the plumpest wheat that
could be found being examined under the
microscope, and the coating WAS seen to
be full Of cracks and the germ was broken
in several places. Ii is maintained now
that We understand why the yield Of wheat
has diminished SO much since the time
wer-,hreshers were introduced. and this
even on new and rich land, such as form-
erly yielded heavy crops. Seed wheat is
imported frequently from Europe. and on
trial 1t proves all that II was recommend
ed, but amer its cultivation has begun and
threshing is done by the machine, 1, be-
comes no better than our own varieties.
The Odessa wheat is mentioned espec-
tally in proof, for the reason that It comes
from a country in which threshers are sell
dom used.-This. too, explains why whea,
seems TO turn TO chess, aud why 50 much
is smutty. This is subject worthy Of the
most careful investigation; and should It
be found that the machine does injure
wheat for seed, ii should next be ascer-
tanned whether threshing with n2il and
even by horses, does not injure it also.
When it is considered that our farming is
constantly growing better. and that man
ure is saved more carefully-it is worth
constantly growing less per acre. Still il
would seem that if the fault lies in the ma
chimes, i: would have been discovered
but it is proper and very easy to have a
demonstration.-[Cor. n. Y. Tribune.
