DEFINITIONS ESPECIALLY IMPOKTANT TO MILLERS 



Tbe Association of Feed Control Officials in cooperation with The 

 American Feed Manufacturers' Association has adopted definitions for 

 almost all varieties of feeding stuffs. If all manufacturers would follow 

 these definitions in naming their products, much confusion and mis- 

 understanding would be avoided. A few of these definitions of special 

 interest, to millers are subjoined :

 in tbe usual commercial milling process from wheat that has been 

 cleaned and scoured. 



Shorts or Standard Middlings are the fine particles of the outer and 

 inner bran separated from bran and white middlings. 



Wheat White Middlings or White Middlings are that ])art of the 

 offal of wheat intermediate between shorts or standard middlings and 

 red dog.

 than tbe flour obtained from the milling of the wheat berry. 



Red Bog is a low grade wheat flour containing tbe finer particles of 

 bran.

 screenings which were separated from the wheat used in preparing said 

 bran.
