New Machine -Inproved Process In Man ufact are
Of Flour.
On casual visit to the Patent Office on Monday last
we introduced by the Commissioner TO Mr. Bentz
citizen of Maryland who has invented an ingenious
machine for the unbranning of wheat We became deep
y interested at once with the ingenuity of the process
and the Importance OF the results. Let any take
gram of wheat in his hand and how long would take
him. with the shapest knife, to strip off the whole coat
Ing from the grain, without taking off along with it
portion of the flour neal From the very shape of the
grain, it would seem to be impossible; and yet here is
machine which strip every grain in 1880 bushels in
the course OF day
We much struck with the Importance Of the
invention, that determined at to call the atten
ton OF our farmers and mers to the operation and
cordngy lay before readers the following letter which
we received yesterday from Mr.. Bentz HIMSELF accom-
panyng 1t with the several extracts to which he refers
in MIR. Burke's admirable Patent Office report The
specimens of the production surprising The beauty
of the surface OF the grain after is Invested of its bran
and the delicate gossamer appearance of the bran itself
very remarkable We shall send specimens to Vir-
gina, and shall reserve for public inspection at
the Union office We beg the millers in the United States
especially not to neglect this improvement We have
no doubt they will find it to be to their interest to ex-
anime this matter for themselves. If any of them would
send us few pounds OF the -four prepared according to
the present and the proposed processes, will thank
them for their attention, and seize the first opportunity
OF laying the comparative results before the public
small parcel OF the bran, which capable of being con-
vered into yeast to make up the bread should accom-
pany the flour.
