that New Haven. us a capital city, once

justice inflicted upon it by the state in
depriving it of its rightful representation

inferiority to our rustic follow citizona.‘

\VIu-ut Flour.
The following is of inlercsl. A test has
been made in New York of the strength
of the patent process flour from best bard
spring wheat and llour made by same
process from No. ‘3 red winter wheat.
The lcat was squarely and honestly con-
ducted by bakers who were not inform-
cd of the objects of tho expci‘iniciit.
The winter \vbeut flour was selling at
$l.5l) a barrel li .ss than the spring. and
it was so sold because it was thought u
barrcl of the spring would take up from
All to 60 pounds more of water than
would the other. To the surprise of all
it turned out that the spring wheat flour
made only four and one half pounds
more bread than the winter wheat flour
did. The bzcud made in tho two lesta
was exhibited on the New York Pro~
duco Exchange, all tho members of
which are. lino judges. and the winter
wheat bread was pronounced the built.
