No. I. — Is a wheat of medium-sized grain and high weight 

 per bushel. One-and-a-half per cent, of impurities were removed 

 before grinding it, and it was allowed to absorb 2 per cent, of 

 water. It yielded a great quantity of pure white flour of superior 

 bloom and having a slight beany flavour. 



No. 2. — Half the grains were medium-sized, half small. 72 per 

 cent, of impurities were removed before grinding it, and it 

 absorbed 3-6 per cent, of water. It yielded a great quantity of 

 flour of medium colour and strength. . 



No. 3. — Grains translucent and long. 37 per cent, of im- 

 purities were removed before grinding ; being very dry it ab- 

 sorbed 8 '4 per cent, of water — it and No. 4 probably unsurpassed 

 for quantity of flour ; the colour of the flour from No. 3 was 

 medium. 



No. 4. — Grains translucent, large, long, and coarse. i'2 per 

 cent, of dirt, etc., were removed before grinding it, and it 

 absorbed y6 per cent, of water. The yield of flour (which was 

 of medium colour with good bloom) was remarkably high. 



These Indian wheats require a liberal admixture of English or 

 American, or " cold-country" wheat. The flours have an aromatic
