A mixture, in equal proportions, was made of Clawson, Mediterranean,
and early amber wheats, and submitted to the mill, using the Hungarian
roller process. From this mixture for each one bushel of the grain of
60 lb. weight was furnished the following proportion of products:
Lb. per
Bushel. Per cent.
Flour. 44 73.3
Middlings. 4 6.7
Shipstuff. 2 3.3
Bran. 10 16.7
-- -----
Total. 60 100.0
These data furnish us a means of estimating the amount of the
different ingredients removed in the various products in one bushel of
wheat with the foregoing component parts.
FLOUR.
The analysis of the flour shows us that the 44 lb. obtained from the
one bushel of grain would contain the following ingredients:
Lb. per Bushel
