TUESDAY.. «9Lvnni AUGUBT 11, 1874. nffmtnh* nuk Iki JTimItm «n«, Balkar md Grind WkwM. A oorreapoujent of th. Milwaukee Sen tinel, writiug from Golden City, Colorado, Bays: A Htranger trkTeliog in New Meiico and anting of tba bread made there la onrioua to know how and of what it ia nude; from the oolor and taate of the black leaf before him, ha ia unable to tell whether it be of wheat, of oate, of caotue, or of potato bags. He tastes the artiole and abandons it. One monthfni is sufficient to stay bis appetite in that direetioo, and desires to try something else. And yet be don't know what to ask for. He feels ▼eky much ae the man in a certain restau rant did, who, faring taken a sip of tome rile conoootion eat before him, exclaimed: “Well, I declare! What ie this? See here, waiter, if this is coffee bring me tea. and if it ia tea I want some coffee." This bread is wheat-ln-bread, and of the rarione processes the wheat undergoes before it ie made into bread, I shall giro a short acoonnt. In the first place, in order that wheat can be obtained, wheat mnst be aown, and before it ie sown the gronnd meet be pre pared. This we all know. Bat let at know also how these operations are per formed. Well, then, the gronnd ia first ploughed, or rather aoratched, with an implement deoidedly primitive in con struction, which oonsista of a pole and a stick bound together with raw-hidee. This concern ia drawn by a yoke of oxen, which are attached to the pole, and ia steered by a Hexicm,who bangs on to one end of the stick, the other apd, slightly sharpened or tipped with iron, entering the soil. The grain is sown by hand, and the gronnd harrowed by having a limb of a tree dragged over it. When the grain ia ripe and the Mexican proceeds in hia bungling manner to—I shall not say oat his grain, for he does not—bat to break off, saw off the straw, and poll it np by tue roots, using for hit weapon some old barrel hoop or other pieoe of iron whiob he bad aharpened and hacked upon until a tooihed edge waa formed. After this oeremony ia flnlahed, the crop ia gathered np, put into an enclosure and the cattle of the neighborhood turned in to trample upon it. These oattle are driven about by the whip-lath of the gallaut Mexican until the grain ia well threshed out, sod I might add, well flavored. Then the straw is shaken end tied up into bun dles ; the wheat, chaff, dirt and atones are brushed np into hides and emptied in heaps on the knolls where it ia win nowed. Women and ohildren participate in the winnowing. They taka a handful of the mixture and throw it into the air; the wind blows away the chaff, and the pore grain (?) falls upon a smooth, hard, flit surface, previously prepared. This process is continned until all the solid matter is separated from theohafi and of ten lasts several weeks. Now the farmer gathers np the proceeds of hia crop into cowhide sackR and takes it to the mill. A Mexican flooring milt is contidered by Meiioins an exceedingly complicated affair, requiring masterly skill to run it. It is, in fact, a very well executed oar- iostnre of a mill, a perfect burlesque throughout. The building ia a small, two- atory shanty, ereoted directly over a swift-running stream of water. The water wheel is nothing more than come boards etnok in arouud an upright shaft, and ia turned by the water striking one side of it. ThiB is in the first story. In the second story the mill-stonee are worked. They are two in number, just as in any flooring mill, with a hole in their centres, through which this upright wooden shaft pa«Hcs. The bottom stone ia cemented in brick work, while the upper one is wedged fast to the shaft, and revolves with it and the paddles below. It sits directly over and on top of the lower stone, is neilber balanced nor trimmed, and consequently ie constantly wearing off atone-dust, which mixes in with the flour. The grain ia introduced to the atonee from an ox hide reservoir, with its month often out side, and sticking through the roof through an old boot-leg. There ie no curb around the stones, so the floor flies off in every direction, upon the floor, where, after being trod upon by dirty feel, it is swept np in a heap aud finally put into ox-hide sacks. And now then, after all these different processes, the flour resulting therefrom is totally uedt for a civilised man to eat. Sometimos they pass it through a sieve made of sinews or perforated hide; bat this does not improve it mnoh. It ie still the same mess of filth. I do not wonder it strikes through the skin of the Mexican who eats it and makes him “dark oom- pleot." A Million efMes of Celton. The following paragraph from the Man chester Courier of the 23d nit. will be in teresting to our cotton fraternity: “For some weeks there has been a con siderable amouut of speculation in the Liverpool cotton market, as to whether the stock in the port would reaoh a mil lion bales, and bets have been made very freely upon the point. A Friday or two ago, *wbeu the stock was made up, it had reaohed a total of 960,000 bales, when it began to fluctuate each Friday in the most nucertsiu manner, at one time reaching so high us 998,770 bales, causing great ex- aitement among those who had laid bets. Last week, however, the seven figures were attained, Lhe stock standing at 1,008,900 bales, and it ia understood that Hie amount of money whiob baa changed bands in consequenoe has been very considerable."
