MILLING AND BAKING EESEAECHES. 



The enlistment of my milling and baking assistant, Mr. E. W. Nichols, for over- 

 seas service, has made necessary the suspension of all the researches which he was 

 carrying on. The destruction by fire of the flour mill has stopped the milling work 

 altogether for the present. A few baking tests were made during the past winter, but 

 they were not sufficiently numerous to give any results for publication. 



This important branch of the work of the Cereal Division will be resumed as soon 

 as possible.
