THE VALUE OF BRAN.
Some Facts Regarding the Food Prop
critics Of Wheat Bran for Gen
eral Feeding Purposes.

In an article contributed to the North
western Miller, Prof. Harry Snyder
says that for producing beef, milk. or
for general feeding purposes, wheat
bran is one of the cheapest and best
foods that can be used. While there
are other feeding stuffs which contain
more protein, none contain their pro-
tein associated with other valuable nu-
tritive substances in the same proper
ton as found in bran. Bran is one of
the safest foods that can be fed to farm
animals. 1t does not cause digestive
disorders, even when fed in large
amounts. 1t can be combined with and
made to improve any kind of feeding
stuff. It is alike valuable for beef or
dairy animals, and can be fed to all
kinds of live stock.
Some of the special characteristics of
bran and its merits as an animal food
are worthy of considerations Wheat
bran is distinctively an animal food,
and not a human food. In the process
of milling the bran is removed because
, it cannot be milled with the flour, and
furthermore, the removal is necessary
because it is indigestible as a human
food. The human stomach is not made
nor intended to digest bran, but farm
animals, as cattle, sheep and horses,
have stronger powers of digestion and
utilize wheat bran to advantage. Bran
occupies the same place as an animal
food which flour does as a human food.
Wheat bran consists Of the outer lay
ers of the wheat kernel, which are re-
| moved in the roller process of milling.
From IL to Is per cent of the wheat
as milled is covered with bran. Average
wheat bran contains about Is per cent.
| OF protein, four to five per cent of fat,
| and 55 per cent. of carbohydrates.
Wheat bran contains about eight per
| cent. OF the fiber, from one-third to one
! half of which is capable of being digest
ed and utilized by farm animals.
AS far as chemical composition is con
cerned. bran is not liable to be deficient
In digestible protein fat or carbohy-
drates, the most valuable nutrients for
feeding purposes. Compared with other
grains and farm products, wheat bran
contains larger amount of protein and
TAT tnan corn, oats, rye, barley, spelt
or the various varieties Of wheat. These
grains usually contain from ten to II
| per cent. of fat Thus it will be seen
that as far as chemical composition is
concerned wheat bran compares favOra-
bly, with average farm grains

Skirt.
Of gold interlining. and elaborate belts
and girdles are fashioned of plain gold

For dark cloth suits there are thickly

for similar purposes is interviewer

as with other costumes, gold girdles

In spite of such elaboration in trim
mings, skirts as q rule are severely
