It is the largest in amount of the soluble nitrogenous constituents found 

 in any of the grains, exceeding the insoluble portion. Oats, on the other 

 hand, contains tbe least soluble albumen. 



Barley is, in the condition in which it was analyzed, most fibrous, but 

 in its hulless state no more so than wheat. Aside from this the most 

 fiber is found in wbeat and the least in oats. From the averages wide 

 variations will be found among individual analyses, which are due to 

 circumstances of environment which our data do not at present permit 

 a study of. A large increase of analyses and conditions which may in 

 time accumulate will render this possible. 



MILLING PRODUCTS. 



In our second report an examination of the products of roller milling 

 was presented, with especial reference to the process as applied to the 

 hard spring wheats of the North west. This examination has since been 

 extended to the winter wheats of Kansas, as represented by the products- 

 of a small roller mill at Ottawa. The data are as follows : 



Mill products from Ottawa, Kans. 



The winter wheat from which the Kansas products were obtained is 

 a larger and softer grain than the spring varieties of Minnesota. It is 

 much less oily than the usual production of the country at large, and 

 while above the average in nitrogenous constituents and representing 

 about the usual percentage found in that portion of the country where 

 it was grown, it is of course lower in albuminoids than the Minnesota 

 grain. The relative results in the breaks are, however, about the same
