THE WHEAT CTJLTUKIST. 113 The Ked Andriolo Wheat, represented by the accompanying en- graving, is similar to the White Andriolo Wheat, shown on an- other page of this book. This is a hardy varie- ty, prolific, moderately early, and possesses most of the character- istics of a superior va- riety of winter wheat. The long, rough awns are an objection to its cultivation, when the straw is to be employed for feeding stock or littering their apart- ments. Domestic ani- mals dislike these harsh, tasteless, and in- nutritious beards, as they are ruinous to fine wool, liable to injure the eyes of animals, and when the chaff is employed for bedding for horses, these ugly, barbed awns are liable to find their way into the sheath of male horses, to their serious in- jury. Awns are of no advan- tage to wheat.
