AMERICAN WHEAT AND CORN 35 



2021. Middlings, Uncleaned No. 3. 



Still finer than No. 2, and less bran and germ. 



2022. Middlings, Uncleaned No. 4. 



Finer than No. 3, and less bran and germ. 



2023. Middlings, Uncleaned No. 5. 



The finest of all the middlings, with almost no bran and germ. The effect of clean- 

 ing will be small. 

 9024. Middlings, Cleaned No. I. 



Many of the lighter particles of bran removed, but there is much remaining, as 

 well as of the germ. 



2025. Middlings, Cleaned No. 2. 



The bran is to a large degree removed in cleaning these middlings, but the germ 

 of course remains. 



2026. Middlings, Cleaned No. 3. 

 The bran is almost all gone. 



2027. Middlings, Cleaned No. 4. 



These middlings are practically quite clean and pure endosperm. Only here and 

 there a particle of bran or germ. 



2028. Middlings, Cleaned No. 5. 



Quite clean, and very small in size. 



2029. First middlings, reduction on smooth rolls. 



The germ is flattened, and the endosperm reduced in size. 



2030. Chop from first reduction of middlings. 



This sample appears to be misplaced, as it contains much bran and germ. 



2031. Second middlings, reduction on smooth rolls. 



A sample of this reduction was not furnished. 



2032. Chop from second reduction of middlings. 



This chop contains a few particles of bran and germ. 



2033. Third middlings, reduction on smooth rolls. 



The germ is prominent in its flattened condition. 



2034. Chop from third reduction of middlings. 



The bran and germ have been almost entirely removed. 



2035. Fourth middlings, reduction on smooth rolls. 



Like the middlings themselves, merely reduced in size. 



2036. Chop from fourth reduction of middlings. 

 Here and there a small particle of bran seen. 



2037. Fifth middlings, reduction on smooth rolls. 

 Resembles of course the fifth middlings. 



2038. Chop from fifth reduction of middlings. 



This is not as white as the chop from the fifth reduction, as it contains bran and 

 germ in small quantities. 



2039. Flour from the first reduction. 



The grains of endosperm are clean and sharp. 



2040. Flour from the second reduction. 



The grains are not as sharp as those from the first reduction. 



2041. Flour from the third reduction. 



Very much like the flour from the second reduction, but perhaps a little lumpier. 



2042. Flour from the fourth reduction. 



More coherent and yellower than previous flours. 



2043. Flour from the fifth reduction. 

 There is no specimen of this flour. 



2044. Tailings from middlings purifier No. 1. 



These tailings are coarse. They contain much bran, mixed with germ, and a 

 considerable amount of large middlings.
