YoUNGsTowS, o., May %, 1878.
Mr.. George Balm. President of the Millers' Ma
tional Associations:
DEAR SIR-In response to myappointmentb by
you on the committee on "imprOved method
of milling" respectfully submit the following
as my report:
would recommend n system of gradual re-
duction and thorough publication, using the
following process: First, free your wheat of all
impurities by means of scparators, cookie ma
chimes, ETC., then gently brushing or polishing
it, thus completing the first step in purifica-
ton. For reduction use stone four feet IN
dismeter, faced and furrOwed with
true and smooth skill can make
them. They should have much
fectly balanced and as well trimmed as can be
done. using the best driving irons that can be
obtained. Spare no pains whatever TO make
your stones as near perfect as possible. You
stone slow, grind high, bolt well, and you
have completed the first step In gradual re-
duction; thoroughly purify your Iniddlings,
using good purifiers and plenty OF them, re-
grind your purified middl1ngs, bolt out the
flour thus obtained, repurify the remainder,
then regrind and repurffy until you have re-
duced the middlings 10 -four and feed Having
used smooth stone and ground high, you can
not complete the thorough publication OF
or porcelain. / prefer iron rolls. After having
carried the publication as far as you
can do with the purifiers, you pass the large
middlings. INTERN xed with the germ, through
a set of rolls, reducing the middlings and
fiattening the germ, thus enabling you TO COM
plete the separation and publication. Next
purify the bran and grind it, bolt out the flour,
which will be a low grade, and YOU have the
system of gradual reduction aud thorough
publication, and result You have high
grade of wheat -four, a high grade of middlings
-four and as high grade OF brsn flour as can
be made by cleaning the bran, ana you nave
the grades all separate, and can then make
any mixture of the grades you desire. The
win eat -four and the micdlfngs flour mixed
make the genuine straight new process Hour
Believing that heating the wheat and slight
ly crushing before going to the stone is another
important step i'm gradual REDUCTION, intend
10 give il trial, expecting TO adopt IL, but un-
I'll have the experience will only say think
that should be adopted and made part of the
system of gradual reduction, which believe
to be the best system yet adopted with which
am acquainted. Respectfully yours,
HOMER BALDWIN,.
