For The Bloomfield Times
A miller's View Of Wheat.

EDITOR TIMES: AS the subject of
wheat, -four and bread is largely discuss
ed In nearly all the Journals of the
present day, devoted to that branch of
industry, and as that branch of indus
try Is the closest allied to the comfort of
every one, would ask for little space
in your valuable paper, for the purpose
of bringing to the notice of your readers
what scientific men say on what have
been trying to impress upon the far
mers, 4. e., the selection of the best
wheat for general cultivation, and also
curing of the same; because just as
much, If not more, depends ON the
quality and condition of the wheat to
make good flour, than on the milling
thereof.
subjoin an extract of an article from
Journal devoted to the milling inter-
ests entirely. The author begins by
making comparisons of different makes
of flour as to the quantity of bread each
kind made to the barrel, and gives it as
the result of his experimenting that one
kind made $50 TBS while the other made
only 240 Tbs to the barrel, and with
surprise asks the reason why this is SO.
1t is well known that wheat composed
entirely, or almost so of starch, will
not make as much, or as good bread as
that containing large proportion of
gluten. 1t is a well established fact that
Fultz and Clawson wheat is almost
composed of starch, and that accounts
for SO small yield of good bread. The
Fultz wheat now being introduced into
the state of Michigan has little or no
gluten in it. 1t is largely grown in
Pennsylvania, and has been ruinous TO
the -four trade of the millers, and the
Clawson, which has considerable popu-
lahty with the farmers is no better.
The flour made of either kind lacks
strength, and will therefore make but
small yield of bread, and is universally
condemned by good bakers. No miller
making 3 high grade of flour dares to
buy it at any price. A choice grade of
flour cannot be made of either Fultz or
Clawson wheat. This is the universal
testimony of all who have tested them.
Farmers should avoid sowing them. A
word ia season to the wise is sufficient.

Salt for the Throat.

One who has tried it with benefit
recommends salt as gargle for the
throat for those inclined to hacking
cough, or soreness of the throat or
mouth. A teaspoonful of salt is dis
solved in half a tumblerful of cold water,
and with this the throat is gargled just
before each meal. An unusual freedom
from coughs or sore throat is claimed to
be the result of this simple remedy.

Mucllage.

Every farmers family should have on
hand good mucilage ,one that is always
ready. Take the gum or wax that is
found on cherry trees, put in large
mouthed bottle and thin to the proper
consistency with water, and you have
an article which will not spoil. If it
becomes too thick, thin up again.

SCOT as a Garden Fertilizer.

1t is known, doubtless, to our lady
readers that the refuse SCOT of our Chin
neys is one of the most valuable stimu-
lants and fertilizers they can have for
their garden flowers. The following
incident of practical experience is from
lady Contributor to the RurdJ CdgoH-
nida::
During the season we nursed, fed and
petted the Hartford prolific grape vine
as much for its shade over the window
as for its fruit; but it persisted in re-
naming a stunted cane, yellow and
refusing to climb. Despairing of
shade, we finally bethought ourselves of
SCOT as manure, and forthwith made
SCOT tea by sleeping teacup of SCOT in
quart of water. This we administered.
The vine grew six feet in height in the
space of six weeks.
E9'In recent discussion of the profits
of wheat-growing in England, the
curious fact was developed that the
product of straw has become in that
country more important than that of
the wheat. This is not because the yield
of wheat, in proportion to the straw, is
less than formerly, but it is due to the
fact that straw is now extensively used
in chopped food for animals, and enters
into so many manufactures, that there
is demand for all that is raised, and it
brings good price.

made in reply 10 Parliamentary inquiry o. the
House of Lords dated the ii of April, 1879 which
called for statement Of the trade Of the Uni.cd
Kingdom with the Uuitcd states OF America for the
years from 1873 10 1875 inclusive.
This document reveals IN very striking way the
fact of the coustant~ increasing exports from the
Ini.cd States 10 Great Britain, and of the rapidly
decreasing exports from Great Britain 10 the United
States. The report Oi the American Bureau Of sta
tistcs for the fiscal ycarendcI June 30 1879, shows
that tine total experts f American mCrchandte and
specie to Great Bilrain amounted to 33c3,Ol3.bf6,
while the total imports for the same period
amounted To only ~ J7l ,7G6 leing an excess IT
exports over imports OF @2JlO1l.S-O. IL other
words the exports from America - Gr M Britain
were more than three times .hc amount OF inpJr-
talions from that c1untiy.
The PaiIamcniaty document presents doleful
account of the decline of British expectations, and
shows thal Great Britain. yc?f by ycar, appears to
become more dep nGrnt Iprn the United states.
