THE GLUTEN IN WHEAT.
nais live Proportions netwren TINS Gluten
and 9tarnh in YArions Suiia.

nais Ave Proportions Hetwean tns Gluten
and Starch in vArious Soils
The relative proportion between the
gluten and starch differs in different
countries, Snd also Oh different soils
Int the gluten being by far the more
valuable OF the two, any slight increase
IN its percentage would greatly improve
the wheat. Our wbe8ts have the repu-
tation of possessing gluten in largo pro
portions, and ia many parts Of the world
they are sought eagerly fer seed. But,
explains American Cullvator, a great
deal OF this has bSen duo TO the fact that
the wheat has been grown on the virgin
soil CT the northwest, where the rich
heterogeneous matter has been collecting
for centuries. Wheat grown upon tho
virgin soil of this country il SO much
superior to that of many other countries
shat 100 pounds Of il viii 80 further to
SUSTAIN the strength Of workiugren than
$50 pounds OF W eat from Australia and
other countries.
The object OF Cultivat;ng wheat then
s. to increase the quantity Of gluten, and
the application Of manure for this p,jr-
pose has not yet been definitely settled.
The fertilizer that viii produce the hesyi-
est crop Of wheat does not always pro-
duce the greatest amount Of gluten.
Virgin soil, however, is the soil, when
cultivated, that contains the essentials
for producing a high percentage Of this
constituent, and anything that viii tend
to keep the soil mp to this standard is
good.
A great deal salso depends upon the
wheat That the west is specially
adapted by the character Of tho soil for
wheat growing may he shown by a curl
GUS result Of sowing foreign seeds there,
The round varieties Of wheat contain a
less amount of gluten than the elongated,
but when these same round seeds are
eown in the soils Of the west they gradu-
ally become elongated, increasing the
amount Of gluten as they change in
shape Flour made from wheat rich in
gluten Is never the whitest, but it has
rather n creamy tint. Tho mistaken
idea among many is that tho whittier the
-four is the better it must he. 1t may
make the whitest bread, but it does not
contain the largest percentage Of gluten,
which is the constituent of the wheat
THAT goes 10 make muscle and strength.
In regard TO applying manure, how
ever, says the authority quoted, barn
yard manure, short and we'll rotted, is
always of value in Increasing the per
centage Of gluten. Commercial manure,
that are Astounding with nitrogenou,
matter are good, but they should always
be used along with euperphosphate
The DhosDhOriC acid in the latter tend,
