Q. Then you use the screenings and siftings mixed with pure 
seed to make cake ? — A. Yes, the screenings. 
Q. The screenings are put into bags? — A. Yes. 
Q. Where are they carried to from the top floor after they are 
put into bags ? — A. The foreman will tell you that. 
Q. Give me some notion ? — A. They are kept at the top, I 
should think. 
I Q. They are not mixed up with the linseed at the top ? — A. I 
ido not know how it is done — I do not know at what exact place ; 
I should say at the hopper. 
Q. Then you mix it with the fine linseed, do you '? — A. For 
Ithe common cake. 
I Q. I do not want to know that ; what I want to know is this : 
lis it put with the fine linseed in the top of the warehouse or the 
bottom ? — A. It is put by itself, and then if we have common 
cake to make out of the fine linseed, we put a certain proportion 
(to it to make it equal to linseed " genuine as imported." That 
is used and sold for genuine cakes — not by me. 
Q. These screenings are put Avith fine linseed to make common 
cake of? — A. That being equal to the common cake which is 
made in Hull. 
Q. But you do not mean to say that it is equal to good 
common cake? — A. Yes, it is. 
Q. With these siftings ? — A. Quite equal. 
Q. Who has the duty in your mill of mixing the screenings 
with the fine linseed ? — A. It is the foreman's duty. 
Q. And we are going to see him ? — A. Yes. 
Q. But as I understand it, the mixing takes place upstairs ? — 
A. Yes. 
Q. Are not the screenings sometimes brought down into the 
lower floor before they are mixed ? — A. No, they are not. 
Q. Xever? — A. Never. 
Q. There never was such a thing? — A. There never was such 
I thing. 
Q. In order to understand this, let me ask you this — If I 
jnderstand rightly, what is called pure linseed is first of all put 
into the hopper and ground or crushed ? — A. Rolled. 
Q. The object of that is not to get out the oil, but to prepare 
;he seed for the ultimate pressure of the oil out of it? — 
'A. Exactly. 
Q. Therefore that is a slight operation ; it is merely, in fact, 
jruising the seed?— ^. "Cracking," as we call it; it cracks 
he husk. 
Q. Then, I now ask you this, with reference to the " genuine," 
IS you call it, — Is the only difference between tliat and the
