TIE NEW Process OF FLOUR MAX
ING. Almost everybody knows of the
Hour, but not every one understands
what it is. Stripped of tcclnicaities,
this is perhaps about the story of its
manufacture. The best -four used to be
made of winter wheat. Spring wheat
yielGed either much less in quantity, or
else so much Of the bran got into the
flour in its manufacture that lis color
was intolerably dark. The wheat would
he ground and then bolted. In the re.
iuse-the bran and middlings would be
included large proportion of the weight
of the spring wheat, and this would sell
more particularly for feed for horses.
Now the best OF flour. and the most ex.
pensivc. is made Of this very refuse Of
the old-fashioned process. 1t all came
out of the discovery of way TO draw
out the bran. Under the new process
tie wheat is ground about "a before.
The first result is an ordinary -four sold
for expectation. Then the remainder is
taken and put upon great horizontal
sleeves, and, while agitation is going on
there, an ingenious system of draughts,
rushing up through, carries Off the bran
What is left is the glutinous portion Of
the wheat, the most nutritious and most
productive. and out Of this purified now
by the drawing Off of the bran, we get
our new process -four.
The result ofthe discovery OF the pro.
cess has been to make the poor spring
wheat of Minnesota and upper Wiscon.
Elm the most valuable kind Of grain, and
to make the fortunes OF tie inventors OF
the mcthod.--UartI0rd Conruui
