 clesvinng, afterwards G.fl jier cent, was found, the pro}H>rtion of inoifttnro being 

 the same in eadi. As the hran contains so mucli nitrogenous matter it might 

 have liecn exiK-ctt-d that the grain after whitening would have shown a marked 

 diminution ; that it does not do so is owing to the fuet that tlie wliitciKxl gminii 

 are selected, tliose whicli are nidiroken Iteing pe|>amtcd from those whiclx have 

 heen mucli broken. Thus there result on tlie one liand grains broken into 

 minute portions containing very little nitrogen, and sold to the amr maker, on 

 the other, the nnbrokiii, whitene«! gniins containing slill almost all the protein 

 matter of the endo>])iTm, and deprived of testa and embryo which togetlier fonn
