 Government, all wheat by-products entering into 

 interstate commerce and containing screenings that have been 

 added after the wheat has been cleaned preparatory to being 

 ground, must be so marked as to indicate their true composition. 

 The usual procedure is to brand such products as "containing 

 wheat screenings not exceeding mill run". While it has always 

 been customary for most millers to add screenings to their by- 

 products, a marked deterioration in some brands has been noticed 

 since this rule went into effect. In purchasing, preference should 

 be given to those brands that contain no screenings. For feeding, 

 as measured both by percentage of protein and digestibility, red- 

 dog flour, flour middlings, standard middlings, wheat mixed feed, 

 and wheat bran, stand in the order named. In purchasing flour 

 and standard middlings the consumer should be guided more by 

 the appearance of the goods than by the name they bear, as the 

 line of demarkation between them is not closely drawn.
