Taking the three ingredients, therefore, to- 

 gether, the whole meal is one-half more 

 \alnable for fuUilliiig all the jjurposes of nu- 

 trition than the fine Hour." 



I have not as yet noticed the true hrown 

 bread of the farm ; for although a brown mot- 

 tled tint obtains in the bran or entire meal 

 loaf, yet that diSers materially from the 

 genuine brown bread, which can be only 

 |)roduced by tlie iarmers' grist, ground from 

 ■red or dark-skinned wheat, wherein every 

 particle of the coarser pollard is retained by 

 a mill-cloth employed for the express pur- 

 pose. 



I conclude this article by an appeal to the 

 ■final and conclusive arguments with which 

 Professor Johnston supports his theory, and 

 to its applicability in especial to the far-famed 

 ■oatmeal of the North. 



" The Deity has done far better for us, by 

 the natin-al mixtures to be found in the whole 

 seed, than we can do for ourselves. The 

 materials, both in form and -proporiion, are 

 adjusted in each seed of wheat in a way more 

 suitable to us than any which with our pres- 

 ent knowledge we apjtear able to devise. 



" The oat is more ni,)tritive even than tlio 

 whole grain of wheat, taking weight for 

 weight. For the growing boy, for the hard 

 working man, and for the portly matron, oat- 

 meal contains the materials of the most hearty 

 notnishment. This it owes in part to its pe- 

 culiar chemical composition, and in part to its 

 being, as it is used in Scotland, a kind of 

 whole meal." 



Many persons object to oatmeal on the 

 ground of its possessing heating properties — 

 referable to the comparative high proportion 

 of its oily material. Let us admit the fact ; 

 but in that case I must be permitted to recom- 

 mend the use of oatmeal most particularly to 

 persons of a spare or meagre hat)it. At all 

 events they who know what true "round " 

 oatmeal really is, must prefer it to every other 

 variety. I ascribe its superior excellence to 

 the admirable method of kiln-diying, obtained 

 by experience ; and as, through the kindness 

 of a friend, I possess a quantity of the meal 

 received direct from Edinburgh, I can hon- 

 estly recommend it as incomparably superior 

 to anything that is sold as oatmeal by our 

 English corn-dealers. John Towers.
