THE HISTORY OF WHEAT.

AS the staple article of food and COM
merce wheat has been known from the ear
liest ages. 1t is not known to exist in other
than cultivated state. 1t is supposed to
have originated in Central Asia, but recent
discoveries have thrown some doubt on that
point. NJ. Fabre, of France a distinguished
naturalist, made the discovery several years
ago that the Egilops ovata, a grass of the
region near the Mediterranean, and of the
west of Asia, becomes transformed by cul.
tivation into wheat. The possibility of
such transformation has been confirmed
by subsequent observations and expert
ments.
Wheat was the chief crop in ancient Egypt
and Palestine, and is more frequently men
toned in Scripture than any other kind of
grain, where its bountiful yield and its inn

lessons.
The granaries Of Egypt and other centres
Of ancient civilization were often OF I'M
mense size and were conspicuous objects
among the public edifces of the time.
Grains of wheat have been found in the
wrappings of Egyptian mummies which
had retained their power of termination
through the lapse Of centuries.
Although the Greeks, and more particu-
larly the Spartans, affected to despise agri-
culture as degrading pursuit, they were
obliged to devote considerable attention
to wheat raising as means of llvell-
hood. Hesiod, one of the earliest Greek
poets, in his "Works and Days." makes
frequent mention of wheat. Among the
Romans wheat raising, in common with
other branches ofagriculture, was prosecuted
with vigOr and success. Roman writer's on
agriculture give particular directions in re-
gard to the cultivation of wheat. 1t is
mentioned by Virgil in his "Georgics."
Wheat was early introduced into Great
Britain, but until very recent times its pro-
duction was so limited that only the wealth.
ier class could afford to use it as food. Men
ton is made of the fact that in the eighth
century the monks Of the abbey of st. Ed
mund, in England, ate barley bread because
the income of the abbey was not sufficient
to admit of their using wheat. In England
down to the close Of the SEVENTEEN CEN
tury servants and other working people
were obliged to content themselves with
bread made from the coarser grains. Eden

s9- The richest grass grows on the most
fertile soil. It is this which makes the good
grazing lands of river bottoms annually
overflowed 1t is true that the grass around
a clump of fresh manure will be avoided,
but if evenly distributed and we'll decom-
posed, the manure can hardly be spread too
thickly. On old fields where grass grows
thin it is equally poor in quality.
