OCT He who can suppress n moment's anger may proven! matiw a day's narrow. iliitrllion In Vnrloiis drains. Wheat is ono of tho most iinpoffant of nil grains. Tho grain contains from fifty to seventy per cent, of starch, from 10 to U0 per co'nL of gluten, nnd from 3 to 5 per cent of ratty matter. I ho proportion of giutcn is said to bo the largost hi tho grain of quite warm countries. It is n singular fact that, in nil tho seed of wheat nnd other grains, tho principal part of tho oil lies near or in tho skin, as nlso docs n largo portion of giutcn. Tho bran owes to this much of its nutritive and fatfor.lng qualities, Thus, iu refining oiir flour to thu utmost possible extent, wo di miniah somewhat its valuo for food. The phosphates of tho ash also He, to a great degree, in tho skin. Tho best fino flour contains about 70 pounds of starch to each hundred. Tlio residue of tho hundred pounds consists of 10 or 12 pounds of giutcn, Oto 8 pounds of sugar nnd gum, and 10 to 11 pounds of water, with n littlo oil. Ryo flour more nenrly resembles wheaten flour in its composition, than any other, it lias, however, mora of certain gummy nnd sugary substances, which mako ittcnacioas, mid nlso imparts a sweetish taste. In ba king nil grains or roots which havo much starch in them, ft certaion change- takes placo in their chemical composition. Jly baking, flour becomes mora nutritions, and moro easily digested, becanso moro soluble. Uarlcy contains rather Jesa starch than wheat, also less sugar nnd gum. Thero h but little gluten, but a substanco somewhat like it, nnd containing about tho sarao nmount of nitrogen. Oat meal Is littlo used as food In this country, but it is equal, if not superior, in its nutritious qualities, to flour from any of the other grains; superior, I havo no doubt, to tho fino wheaten flour of tho northern latitudes. It contains from 10 to 18 per cent, of a body having about tho samo amount of nitrogen or giutcn. Besides IhU thero is n considerable quantity of sugnr I nnd trum. and from 5 to 0 per cent, ot oil or fattv matter, which may bo obtained In - . . .... y tr.etiealma o.wo their, peculiar j2T0cnUo- uio lorm oi a Clear, lrscroni imuiu. vaw taste aud smell to this oil Oat mcahlhcn, has not only an abundanco of substanco containing nitrogen, but is also quito fat tening. It is, in fact, nn excellent food for working animals, and, as has been abund antly proved in Scotland, for working men. alto. l)u:khent Is less nntricious than tho other grains which we havo mentioned. Its flcur has from 0 to 10 per cent of nitro genous compounds, about 50 per cent of starch, and from five to eight per cent" of engai rad gum. In speaking of buckwheat or of oats, we of courso mean without husks. Rico was formerly supposed to contain littlo nitrogen, but recent examinations havo shown that thero is a coiiderablo portion, sumo G to 8 pe; cent of a substanco liko gluten. Tlio per ccntago of fatty matter and of sugar is qnito small, but that of starch is much larger than any grain yet mention ed, being between 60 and 00 per cent; usually about 92 per cent. Indian corn is tho last of tho grains that wo shall notice. This contains about GO per cent of starch, nearly tho same" as jn oats. Tbo proportion of oil and gum is large about 10 per cent; this explains the fattening properties of Indian meal, so well known to practical men. Thero Is, besides, a great portion of sugar. Tho nitrogenous suhstaucos aro also considerable in quanti ty somo 12 to 10 per eent. All tlieio statements aro from tho prize-essay of Mr. J. H.Salisbury, published by tho New York Stato Agricultural Society. They show that the results of European chemists havo been probably obtained by the examination, of varieties inferior to ours; thoy havo not placed Indian corn so much abovo tho level of buckwheat or rico, whereas, from tho above, it is scon to bo "in most respects superior to any other grain." Sweet corn differs from all other vario ties, containing only about 18 por cont of starch. Amount of bugar is of courso rsry largo; tlio nitrogenous substances amount to tho very largo proportion of 20 percent; of gum, to 13 11, nnd of oil to about 11. This, from tlio abovo results, is ono of tho most nourishing crops grown. If it can bo mado to yield as much por aero as tho har dier varieties, it is worth trial on & largo scab. Prof. Ncicton. A negro preaoher referring to tho Judg ment Day, in his sermon, said: "Breddorn and sisters, in dat day, do Lord shall di wido do sheep from do goatcs, and brcss do Lord, wo know who wears do wool !" & Col Heuton, in speaking of Con ters, says ho nover "paired off" frrnssinl inntterg.
