Cost of Broad from Font and
Wheat.
The subject of the cost of bread
from corn and wheat was brought
before the Farmers’ Club Tues
day afternoon by samples made
by Mrs. Conrad Wilson. These
were generally tested and appro
ved of by the large attendance
and elicited from the lady mem
bers a request for the modus ope
ramli of making, with hints as to
the best yeast, Hour, &e.
Conrad Wilson said that the
samples of bread submitted to the
club by Mrs. Wilson were intend
eddo illustrate (he economic val
ue of this form of food and to
show the capacity of these cereals
for the production of bread. Lot
us now glance at some of the tig
tires, and first for corn.
When good, sound corn is
properly prepared and made in
to bread by the latest and best
methods, it is found that the gain
in weight of the bread above the
meal from which it is made is o
ver 100 per cent. In other words,
a pound of corn ureal, and conse
quently a bushel of corn weigh
| ing GO pounds, and taken at 50
pounds net over the toll, will
yield 100 pounds of bread. But
when wheat Hour is blended with
i the meal, which is very usual, the
ratio of bread to grain
diminished.
Assuming the cost of corn to
be 30 cents a bushel'ou a gener
al average, this would bring the
j cost of the bread for the lowest
grade of the samples submitted
i to one third of a cent a pound for
j the meal, making a total, when
j the other ingredients areinclud
’ ed, of about 1 cent; while for the
better sample, with its addition
!ul ingredients, the total cost
would be about two cents. For
j wheat bread the figures are dif
ferent.
i In a bushel of wheat weighing
| GO pounds, it is commonly assum
ed that the net weight of Hour,
after allowing for the bran, shorts
! and toll, is about 40 pounds. But
| when flour is converted into
| bread, the gain of weight varies
j from 50 to 70 per cent. At this
j rate of increase, the quanity of
bread from a bushel of wheat
would be from GO to G 8 pounds o
! ver and above the bran and the
toll for grinding. According to
the actual gain in Mrs. Wilson’s
sample, a bushel of wheat would
yield 05 pounds of bread.
This gain of weight is of course
: mainly due to the absorption ol
water by the flour, and is there
fore no positive addition to the
! amount of nutriment. Yet.it is
( found in practice that the greater
! the absorption, (lie better, as a
! general rule, is the quality of the
! bread.
Assuming the cost of wheat to
be 75 cents a bushel on a general
average, this would make the
! cost of bread less than Ii cents a
[pound, which is more than the
| cost of the inferior grade of corn
bread, but less than the cost of
the better quality. If now we as
sumo the yield per acre to be, for
corn 70 bushels, and for wheat 30
bushels (both of which I claim to
be entirely possible for average
farmers), than we have the fol
lowing food results:
For corn bread, 7,000 pounds
per acre, at a cost for the lower
grade of S7O, and for the better
quality of nearly double that a
mount.
For wheat bread, about 2,000
pounds, at a cost of S3O.
Now if we assume that a far
mer’s family numbers 5 persons
of various ages (equivalent on an
average to four adults) and allow
two pounds of bread per day to
each, as equivalent to their sup
port, then an acre of corn would
sustain the family for over eight
hundred days, and an acre of
wheat for 250 days. In other
words, half an acre of corn, or
one and a halt acres of wheat
would maintain tlm family bo
one year.
There are possibly some doubt
iug farmers who will shake their
heads at these conclusions, and
hesitate to accept them. Yet I
am prepared to show that the fig
ttres here givenire in reality be
low the truth, and that these ce
reals are capable of better results
than 1 have indicated.
Fanners, Edueate'your Nous.
How are wo to account for the
tact, that while there are six mil
lion of agriculturists, ag-n'nst a
bout a half a million of merchants
and traders, in the United "States,
the government'expends ten dol
lars for commerce,, where it up
propriates one for agriculture?—
How can we explain the fact, that
while there are one hundred and !
fifty farmers to every lawyer in
the United States, there are two
hundred and thirty nine lawyers
and only seventeen ; farmers in
both houses of Congress? Why
is it, that notwithstanding mon
than half of all the property in
the United States is invested in
farms and farm-stock and farm
implements, and three fourths of
all its foreign trade is made up
of the surplus productions of our
fields, every other industry in the
country receives more attention
and more encouragement than its
agriculture? By universal con
sent, the political and material
prosperity of'the country depends
upon the prosperity of its agri
culture ; and yet, this grciU inter
est, which feeds all, clothes all,
maintains all, is subordinated, in
the legislation of the government
to every other interest in the
land. Why?
Various causes contribute to
this result. At present we call
attention to only one, which has
had much to do in bringing about
this singular state of things; and
this, strange to say, is very large
ly chargeable to the farmers them
selves. Tho educated young men
of the country are directed by
their parents, either to someone
of the learned professions, as
they are called, or to commerce.
Over and over again, have we
seen it the case, in the farm homes
of the country, that the brightest,
boy is singled out, and furnished
with all the advantages of a col
lege education, because he was to
be the lawyer of the family, while
his brothers, because they were
thought to he less intelligent,
were doornail to the plow handle,
and permitted to attend an ordi
nary neighborhood school for a
year or two, at such intervals as
they could be spared from the
field.
Are your hoys to blame, if,
when they see you make such a
difference, they should look upon
farming as an employment lit on
ly for laborers ? Are your girls
to blame, when they see how you
discriminate against the farmer
hoys, if they prefer city beaux,
(and take a “counter jump,” as
you call him in derision), to the
honest, hard handed, sun brown
ed young farmer ? Who, then, is
to blame, if, when the country
needs intelligence, learning, cul
ture, to take part, in making and
administering its laws, rather
than the farmer boy whom you
have slighted ?
Farmers! you are yourselves
responsible, very largely, for this
state of things. Educate your
sons-~those who are to cultivate
the soil, as well as those who ate
to stand at the bar or in the pul
pit. They all have minds alike;
they all alike need mental cul
ture, to (it them for usefulness,
success and happiness. Give
them the same advantages, and
turn them out with an equal start
in the race of life; then, if the
farmer fails to hold Ids ham] in
the contest for social and politi
cal distinction, it will he time e
nouglt to look elsewhere for the
explanation.
VVe long to see the day when
the men who own the farms, and
live upon them and live hy them,
shall lie ttye equals in inlclli
geuce, of those who labor in any
of the other vocations of life.—
Ours is as noble, and as honora
ble a calling as any other, and
we maintain that it furnishes as!
much food for thought, and will
find as much employment for
mind, as any other. The educat
ed farmer who makes his living
by honest industry on the farm,
is, to our mind, the best type of
an American citizen;- —The Farm
Journal.
