Bread is termed the “ staff of life," and should partly constitute the food of till classes. Its high importance justifies a brief inqwi ry in regard to Ihe kind most con ducive to health. Nosingle con stituent part of our food is capa ble of acting by itself alone. One missing element may make the others inefficient, to subserve the purposes ol our organization. For instance, wheat contains the fol lowing chemical elements : water II per cent., gluten 13 per cent., st arch GO per cent., per cent., gum 4 per cent., oil 2 per cent., lnan 2 percent. These ele ments are not uniformly distribu ted througho.pt a kernel of wheat. Just beneath tin 1 bran is a layer of dark colored material,very rich in gluten, and containing must of the oil of (lie wheat. In the or dinary way of bolting, a large portion of Ibis covering is sepa rated from (he fine white flour, as il does not very readily powder in the mill, and hence is rejected with the middlings-and bran, and fed to cattle. The heart of the grain is chiefly composed of the starch, which makes the finest and whitest, of flour; hence, we usu ally get the starch, and reject a large per cent, of the most nutri tious elements of the wheat.— There are certain mineral consti tuents of wheat which are also un equally distributed in the grain. They are phosphoric acid, potash, soda, magnesia, oxide of iron, sul phurie acid, salt and silieo. In line flour, these elements form a bout one per cent.; but in the se cond quality, they form about, 3 or 4 per cent., and in the coarser flour, they form about 5 per cent., and in the bran 7 per cent. It is evident, then, that in the re jection of the coarser parts of the flour, we lose most of the.essen tial elements of flour. These mineral constituents of our food are indispensable to a healthy for mation of the tissues and organs of our bodies ; and tile withdraw al of them from our food is not only prejudicial to health, hut of ten cause premature decay and death. Scrofula, rickets, cancer, and consumption, are the results often of wanted elements in the tissues involved in the above dis eases ; for instance, the hypo phosphate of lime is required by the hones ; the phosphate of mag nesia and potash by the muscles; the phosphate of soda hy the ear tilages; phosphorous (in a triha sic form) by tin* brain and lungs; silicia by the hair, teeth and nails; and iron hy the black coloring matter of the eyes and the red globules ol the blood. The coarser flour contains chief ly the gluten, which is the most nufritoiis part of the wheat, con taining most of Ihe above essen tiai mineral constituents of the tissues of the body. The bran should be separated from the glu ten, and the gluten saved and eat with the fine white flour, or at a separate meal. Those w ho t bus live on fine flour lose much of the value of flour. It is plain that what is called brown bread (made of seconds and horl ) is essential to health, be big, in his Vegetable Chemis try, says that, wheat contains 21 parts of nutrative salts to the 1000 part of wheat, but that fine flour only contains 7 parts to the 1000. Experiments have proven that a dog will finally die if fed exclu sively on fine white bread. Ihe subject merits the earnest atten* ion of the heads of families. Children are very certain to he injured lva diet exclusively com posed of tine flour, for they re quire a very large per cent, of the mineral elements of wheat, as the formation of the hones and teeth require certain chemical salts, mostly derived from the bread they eat after they are weaned. If they are deprived of these salts they necessarily become scrofu lons or rickety, and often die pre maturely. It is true, that the bet ter to do people may supply their tables with vegetables, fruits and edibles to such an abundance that these essential constituent ele ments may be derived from such varied diet, but many of the work ing class are not as well able to furnish all the luxuries that much wealth can procure, consequently they should have a knowledge of these facts. There can he noth ing more beneficial to the readers of a newspaper than a few plain dietetical hints, so I devote jfn hour to their benefit, and others may skip it. Manuring Orchards. Mr. .1. .1. Thomas, a reliable au thority on fruit culture, furnishes the following to Ihe Practical Farmer: One of the finest full bearing orchards in the country belongs to Giles Landon, in one of Ihe more southern townships. It shows in a remarkable degree the benefit of manure and good treat ment generally. It has been set out twenty-three years, and the tree tops have become so broad, that cultivation has been discon tinued, although the trees were set thirty-six feet apart. It is top dressed every two years, and also lightly pruned annually. Some years ago, after continu ed cultivation, the owner was not satisfied with its productiveness, although cultivation had given it a strong growth. A friend advis ed pruning, because, to use his expression, “there was too much wood in the tops”—that is, the heads were too thick. They were trimmed early in spring; thinned out from above, not trimmed from below ; and the orchard was top dressed with manure. They be gan to bear heavily. On visiting the orchard, on the first, of Sep tember, its deep green color was observed at a longdistance in ap preaching it. The trees were ben ding under their loads of fine ap ples, although the apple crop gen erally throughout the country was one of the poorest known.— On examining the fruit, if was found to be remarkable for its fair appearance, and freedom from the codling moth, very few infec ted specimens being seen. We learned that sheep were kept in the enclosure from early grass till the weight of the apples bent the brandies down within their reach, when they were turned out, usu ally in August. They devour the small partly grown apples as soon as they drop. In all the orchards where it was applied, the manure seems to have operated favorably toward inducing fruitfulness. A striking example was shown on the borders of this orchard,where an old tree of the fall orange, which appeared to be about sixty years old, had become so enfee bled and partly dead that it was proposed to cut it down. The owner, however, concluded to ex periment further, lie cutout all the dead branches, which were nearly equal to the remaining top and top dressed the ground very heavily beneath. The result, was that in a year or two a single crop sold for sixteen dollars and a half. When visited, it w as found full of fine apples. This orchard con tains about one hundred and twen ty trees, and the years of heaviest hearing are the years that apples are scarce everywhere. This re suit was probably accidental in the first place, and produced bv the time when the pruning and manuring were first employed.— Two years ago, the crop sold for six hundred dollars, or an average of five dollars per tree, through the whole orchard. This year the owner thinks he may not receive more than four hundred. I have since learned that he had over SSOO worth, besides cider apples, from which he manufactures ex clusivelv excellent vinegar. [Subscription, $l.OO The Scrap Book.
