Macaroni Wheal. The' experiments which tlif ;Vj'.-rt-ment of Agriculture andei;c 1 -me years ago looking to the jro...' 01 Macaroni wheat in this coui.r. ' av borne better fruit than was ai.tiriiiAtud by the most enthusiastic imestk-itors. Xot only has it been shown tia: this wheat can be very successfully jrown here, and tl.at the beat nmcari ni cn.. bo made from it in America, but ..i A in ri can ingenuity has discovered i: ' mp not before known, that bread nr- eowd as any can be made from it. The signifi cance of this is seen when it is known that the macaroni wheat is a semi-arid plant and that it can be grown success fully over a wide area in the Dakotas, Kansas, Nebraska and Texas where the rainfall is not sufficient to admit of or dinary wheat growing. It had never before been supposed that bread could be made from this wheat, the grain of which is extremely hard and translucent. It makes a creamy bread which is S'.id o be fully equal to the best bread from prime Fultz wheat. In fact, sunie two hundred persons and institutions all over the country were furnished with the new bread, after the secret of mak ing it had been discovered, and the re turns from them which are now in are almost unanimously favorable. Following the introduction of special milling machinery by the Minneapolis millers for the purpose of grinding this extremely hard wheat, a considerable acreage was immediately planted by the farmers, and last year about 1,500,000 acres of it were raised. The matter is considered one of the most important which the Agricultural department has brought before the country for some time. AUGUST CLEARANCE SALE.
