In regard to the account of the inter
view between Secretary Gresham and

ment that, whatever tho views ot tlie
President and Secretary Gresham might
be in tho matter, thev would not give
assurance to the Chmeso government
that a law would not be enforced while
it remained on the statute books, and
that therefore the statement attributed to
Secretary Gresham was inaccurate.- It
is iinilerstiKsl that Mr. Gresham nierelv
assured the Minister ot the good will of
the United States toward the Chinese
government and hoped the question ol
exclusion would bo arranued in a satis
factory manner, so that the amicable re.
lations between the two governments

that wo should keep Utah out of the

THE COMPOSITION OF WHEAT.
About as Rich in Protein as Oats
Richer Than Corn Even in
Muscle Food Etc.
At the prices now realized for wheat
it is a question with many of our farm
ers whether they had not better feed it
rather than sell. Answering one such
question through the Breeders' Gazette
Prof. Henry of the Wisconsin station
says :
Our correspondent brings tin a vi
interesting subject and one peculiarly
proper to discuss at this time, when
wheat has touched the lowest value in
our grain markets known for a long time.
The composition of wheat is shown in
the following table, where I have com
pared it with oats, corn and wheat mid
dlings. Table showing the digestible constitu
uents in 100 pounds:
Crude
Protein.
Wheat H.2
Oats. 9 1
Corn 7.1
Wheat middlings 12 2
Carbo
hydrates. 64.9
41.7
62.7
47.2

1.4
4.1
4.2
A study of the aWve table shows that
wheat is aWut as rich in protein, which
goes to build up the muscle, as is oats;
that it is considerably richer than corn
even in muscle food, but not so rich as
wheat middlings, which is derived from
the wheat grain in the process of mill
ing. In the carbohydrates, the starchy
matter, wheat stands highest in the list,
excelling even corn, and far ahead of
wheat middlings or oats, lhe starchy
matter is the fuel for the body, a portion
of which may be stored up as fat when
not needed at once.
I cannot but regard wheat as approach
ing the nearest perfection for stock food
of any of our grains, everything consid
ered. The out grain, being surrounded
by a husk, is the safest grain we have
for stock-feeding, for the reason that an
imals are not 00 easily overfed, but
aside from this marked advantage fur
the oat grain I should put wheat ahead,
since 100 pounds of it furnishes more
real nutriment.
The only possible danger in feeding
wheat arises from the fact that there is
no enveloping husk about the grain, and
if the careless feeder gives the animal
the concentrated grain too liberally, de
rangement of the digestive apparatus
may follow. Wheat may be fed rolled
or coarsely ground, or may be soaked.
It should be prepared in some wav be
fore being fed, though we have fed at
this Btation small quantities without
preparation with quite satisfactory re
sults. Much will depend upon the way
in which the horses masticate the food.
The best form of preparation no doubt
is rolling, the same as barley is rolled for
horses on the Pacific Slope.
In the process of rolling the grains are
simply flattened, but not torn apart. In
this form the food seems to lie light in
the stomach and to be easily digested.
Ground wheat may be mixed with bran
to lighten it, or may bo spread over
moistened chaffed hay the same as shorts
or other ground feed.
The present time calls for a special
study in this direction, for wheat is sell
ing at ruinously low prices. It would be
a good thing for the market if 10,000,000 or
15,000,000 bushels were fed to our stock,
as what was left would probably bring
as large a sum total as if it were all sold,
nOQ-RAISINO FOB PROFIT.
Study the different breeds before se
lecting the best for your purpose, savs t
writer in Farm, Field and Fireside. Have
the nigs come in the spring. Keep onlv
the best pigs; discard runts. Have feed
ing pens arranged so there will be no
waste. Put divisions in feeding trough
to lessen quarreling. Feed as much
niilk as possible. Do not keep more
hogs than you can raise feed for, as the
greatest profit in hog-raising is in pro
viding a ready market for produce and
much otherwise unmarketable rough
feed. Kid every louse and feed gener
ously. Poorly-fed hogs are always un
profitable. If in a fruit section, build
cider mill for public use, if there is not
too much opposition. The fee will psv
