MOISTURE IN WHEAT
AND MILL PRODUCTS
Importance in Effect on Quality
of Flour Is Recognized.
Various Methods Of Tempering TO Give
Right Content Are in Use at Mills
Results OF live stigstions at
Kansas City.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The Importance of the moisture con
tent of wheat in its effect on yields and
quality of -four Is recognized by mil
lers, and has led to their cooperation
with department Of agriculture inves-
tigators in making Rests of moisture
content of wheat and mill products at
a number of -four mills.
Wheat when received at the mill is
seldom, if ever, in the best condition
for milling, its moisture content being
too high or too low or not properly
distributed through the kernel. Vari-
GUS methods of tempering wheat to
give 1t the right moisture content for
the outer and inner parts of the kernel
are in use at mills.
The results of Investigations OF mois-
ture content made at Kansas City on
wheat before and after its preparation
for milling, on tempered wheat. and OF
different mill products during the
course OF their manufacture are con-
tanned in Department Of Agriculture
Bulletin 1888 Just issued. This pubIica-
ton contains tables showing moisture
content Of hard red winter wheat be-
fore and after cleaning and tempering.
and also tables Of moisture content of
the various mill streams Of mill stock.
In general the moisture content OF the
-four streams is reduced as milling pro-
seeds from the first break to the end
Of the process.
One Of the conclusions Of the inves-
tigators is that very little of the water
added to the wheat during tempering
penetrated deeper than the pericarp.
The moisture content of the better
grades of flour milled, irrespective of
the amount of water added during tenn
pering, closely correspondent to the
percentage Of moisture contained In
the untempered wheat.

In selecting the design for A home,

Just now home building is upper
most in the minds of all people who
have been considering building during
the last two years. The government,
through the United States department
of labor, is urging home building. not
only because there is an unusual short
age of places for people 10 live, but
because the work is needed TO keep
labor fully employed while the indus
trial activities of the country are be-
ing restored to a peace time basis.
While ii costs more to build now
than it did five years ago, the prices Of
building materials have not risen in
proportion TO the costs of other neces-
sites of life. Careful analysts of the
situation shows that this increase is
about 81 per cent, while the costs Of
other necessities have risen 100 or
more per cent. And this same inves-
tigation has disclosed that prices are
not liable TO come down for several
years.

Moving a Field Of Heavy Mixed Hay.

without trouble. One large hay grow
er keeps a barrel of water and sew
eral quart bottles In the field that is
being moved. When the mud begins
to dry and clog the knife, the mower
is taken to the water barrel and driv-
is poured from the bottle onto the
knife and the mud is soon all washed
out. This practice allows q full days
moving.
Keep the Barn Crew Busy.-When a
crew is kept at the barn to unload and
store away the hay 1t should be kept
busy all of the time. If the hay does
not come in fast enough to do this, it
is often a good practice to put the barn
crew to loading and hauling and have
enough men, usually three, come in
with each load and put it into the barn.

More Hay Should BE BaIed in the
FieId.-Baling from the wiDdrow or

hay that is to be baled. 1t saves a
great deal Of time. and rpouireS con-
sidershiy less labor than when hay is
stacked or put into the barn and af-

for the market should investigate this
method OF making hay, since ii has

many learned for tne first time the sat-

there is nothing more worth saving for
than a home.
Now that the building season is open
il Is time To consider what sort Of
a house TO build. The design Illus
trated here Is a good one for those
who want bungalows. However, II can
be changed to suit the ideas OF the
builder. BY consulting with the To-
cal contractor or architect, these
changes can easily be made. Also ii
can be learned what such a bungalow
will cost by interviewing the lumber
dealer and builder.
Securing the money to build a
house is a comparatively easy matter,
as banks and individual lenders con
slider improved zeal estate the best OF
security. BY paying q small proper
ton of the cost down, the balance
can be paid as rent.
Owning a house is the finest invest
ment in the world, and with all the
reasons why building should be done
now. home building should be popu'
lar this year.
