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. Change of.
