Milling nnaiitie. q, What

1t has been known for several years
that the wheat most desired by the
miller was variety which was hard

duced flour OF superior quality, one
that was especially liked by the bakers
and consumers, says a Nebraska bulle-
tin. The former desired -four that
would produce a greater number OF
loaves Of bread of good quality This
depended in a great measure upon the
per cent Of gluten ian albuminoid COM
pound in the wheat and flour. The
soft wheats contain a large per cent
or proportion of starch to albumen.
1t therefore often happens that the
variety Of wheat which is most profit
able Tor the baker and the miller to
handle is the very one that is a poor
variety for the farmer to raise. for the
reason that it is not strong grower
or good yielder. The farmer prefers
! to raise wheat that is of a large berry.
that grows strongly and branches or
tillerS well, and that threshes out the
greatest number of bushels per acre
This to him is manifestly to his
greatest profit, provided the price
per bushel remains the same: but
the miller can i'll afford to buy much
wheat OF that character, as it must be
mixed with wheat Of harder berry in
order to produce 4 nice even quality OF
frst-class flour. Gibson, in his work
on milling says: "The facilities for
knowing fours are better in the flour
markets than in the mills" THE
facilities for examination are best

Gluten Meal and Oil MeaI

The value of glucose meal, or gluten
meal, or gluten feed, as it is variously
called, for milk production, has been
the subject of quite extensive expert
ments at the Vermont experiment
station. Seventeen trials of single
cows were made, in which these
different feeds were compared with
bran and corn meal In the majority
of cases they were found to produce
more milk, or richer milk, or both.
than either corn meal or a mixture of
corn meal and bran, so that in almost
every trial more butter was produced
by means Of the gluten feed. This is
dne undoubtedly to the high percent
age OF protein contained in these feeds.
They serve to supplement the def
cieneies OF corn meal, hay. corn fodder,
etc, in this particular, and to make
up what is known as a balanced
ration. The cream gluten
meal mentioned above is very
concentrated feed, and both
it and the corn germ meal are especi-
ally rich in fats and should be used
with caution. Probably two pounds
per day and head is as much as should
be used and less would probably be
safer for cows. There IS no reason to
think that these feeds are not just as
healthful as the corn from which they
are made. | have not noticed that
they have been used extensively for
other classes Of stock than mich cows.

midway between the surface of the

might be a cavity developed in the
center by the failure of the sufh-
cient development OF storage tissue
to occupy all the space. As to the
breeding out, it would seem probable
that it could be done to some extent,
because anything like hollow heart is
likely to be somewhat a matter of in
heritance-call it a weakness if you
please-and therefore one should use
strong instead of weak seed. Prof. W.
+. Massey hazarded the opinion that
hollow heart is due to an excess Of
nitrogenous food in a moist soil
There may be some fungous growth
connected with it, but he can not
think there is any fungous cause for

reservoir for the storing of starch for

Growing Onions.

The so-ealled new method with
onions is little more than an extension
Dt their growing season by starting
the plants early in the season under
glass, writes w. E. Farmer in american
Cultivator. But this innovation is suf-
7cient to stamp the work as new, and
really worth all OF the talk about it.
By adopting this method we are pretty
sure to make the crop success. Bad
seasons, late seasons and other unfa-
yorable conditions can not do much
harm to the crop, or, at the most, the
injury from these causes is reduced TO
the lowest minimum. Where the soil
is suitable, the large white onions are
the most profitable to grow, for the
demand for them is always in excess
of red and yellow, and tie prices paid
are sometimes nearly double. In the
eastern states the white onions reach
their perfection, and they sell for from
81 to 81 per barrel more than the red
and yellow ones from other sections.
This is due to the popularity of the
soil and the coast climate, and farmers
have developed the industry y that sec
ton BY persistent study of the needs of
onions. But the red and yellow onions
prove profitable enough in any section
where the land is suitable for their
culture, and far more so if the so-called
new method is adopted. The seed
should be sown in the hotbeds six or
sight weeks before the time for ordi-
nary planting in the fields aud as the
best conditions possible eau generally
is given to hotbed, these seeds
should be given fine start in life.
They ssould not only be started early.
