A Mr Ferryman has invented a machine 
for blanching wheat, that is, taking off the 
outward coat of the grain of wheat, previ- 
oufly to its being ground, by which the whole 
of the grain may be ufed in bread, without 
any of the inconveniences that have hitherio 
~ been found in bread made from the whole of 
the meal. By this machine, Mr. Ferryman © 
can feparate the outer coat of the wheat at 
the rate of 20 bufhels per hour; and it.is 
found that blanched wheat may be ground in 
two thirds of the time fooner than the fame 
kind of wheat in its perfect ftate.. Damaged 
wheat is alfo capable of being blanched. Sa= 
tisfactory experiments to afcertain whether 
this method of ‘blanching wheat was. fo far 
praticable as to become likely tobe of gene 
ral utility, have been. lately made at. ty: 
Duke of Bedford’s feat at Woburn. . Viery 
great advantages are expected to attend: /this 
new procefs of blanching wheat. A pritnei 
pal benefit would be the getting off the o 
coat of the wheat entirely free from pol 
or flour, which has never been, done ye
