IMPROVEMENT IN MAKING FLOUR


IMPROVEMENT IN MAKING FLOUR.
Mr.. d. Z. Bonall, 81 recumsei, Michigan, has
recently made an improvement IN the process OF
mannlaclurn. Floor, which is claimed 10 he
valuable The Indiana STATE Journal publishes
the following extracts from leier wr,Icn by Mr..
B in reply TO inquiries made OF him in reference
10 The Improvement
My "impfovei process oi milling" consists in
separating the starch part vi the wheat from the
slutnous mailer and submitting The latter 10 Sc

inc an auxiliary run ui sones so as 10 receive
The entire body OF the "oaal," on lis passage from
the upper or first merchant bolts. The stones ale

uie, and The feeding Of The sInfs made uniform
and perfect by very simple combination oi ma.

and the remainder separated Tor leeds.
The advantage obtained by this mode OF grind
ing is as follows: Flts', i; enables the miller 10

wheat, and ensures, tree. good boiling, which is

The double grinding evapora.es more of thu
moisture, and has tendency TO preserve TN
flour longer from souring

characteristics Of Ny Improvement, and
