58 Mr. Hatchett process on musty corn . 
corn being completely drained, is without loss of time to be 
thinly spread on the floor of a kiln, and thoroughly dried, 
care being taken to stir and to turn it frequently during this 
part of the process. 
This is all that is required ; and I have constantly found 
that even the most musty corn (on which ordinary kiln 
drying had been tried without effect) thus became completely 
purified, whilst the diminution of weight caused by the solu- 
tion of the tainted part was very inconsiderable. 
I have the honour to remain, 
Dear Sir Joseph, 
your most faithful and obedient Servant, 
CHARLES HATCHETT.
