FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC PRO- CESSES OF MAKING MACARONI, In Europe It 1s Almost Handmade, While in the United States Machinery is Utilized, HE making of macaroni is un- Aq Fi doubtedly increasing in the United States, and this is by no means due to the growth of the Italian population here Americans are taking more and more kindly to this sort of food. Macaroni, says the Scientific Ameri can, is a preparation of wheat origin ally peculiar to Italy, in which coun try it is an article of food of national | importance. The same substance in different forms is known as vermi celli, spaghetti, Italian pastes, tagli- oni, ete. Thess substances are pre- pared from hard, semi-translucent varieties of wheat, Hard wheats are richer in gluten than the soft and tender wheats. These wheat prepara tions styled macaroni are met with in various forms, such as fine thin threads called vermicelli, from its thread- worm-like appearance, thin sticks and pipes, stars, disks, ribbons, tubes, ete. In the manufacture of macaroni about 100 pounds of semoline or granulated wheat is first put into a circular iron mixing machine three feet in depth and two feet in diameter A quantity of boiling water is then added and the substance mixed up into a stiff dough bya revolving shaft armed with circular teeth which runs down through the centre of the ma- chine. The dough is then taken out and placed in a circular wooden rolling mac hine three feet in height and eight feet in diameter, minutes ] over which for forty travels a revolving granite roller five in inches in width, w After the dough has rolled and pressed, it 1s kneading machine.

It is then placed in the cylinders of the macaroni press. These cylinders are about 2} feet in length aud about fifteen inches in diameter, on the inside of whieh, resting on a flange at the bottom, is a copper mould. These moulds are about one inch thick and perforated with holes through which the pipes of macaroni are passed. The pipes are made hollow by means of a circular piece of copper held in place by = pin running across the centre of the hole oti therinmer side of the monld. As ACT OSS Rear whie burving the dough is pressed over the pins it! divides in the centre and unites itself again as it passes out of the mould About 100 pounds of dough is placed in the cylinders at a time, pressed out through the moulds by curately | which is means of an a or piston. pressure is used, the cylinder « ing itself in As the pipes macaroni pass ont the mould they are eut ofl foot lengths an to the table, where thes lengths for then placed away for temperatur of it is placed market [he 125 Italian 3,500.1 WO) poun ds year 183 Having thus de scribed the manufacturing York, we wi the way the a Italy The har i wheat are selected, thoroughly dried in wheat is then codrse iy through a revolving the starch from the portions It is passed through a sleves, niting pinnger nas {ne thousand pou mi bout forty-five minutes it into smal arving IMACKT ard and rac to 1 degrees, on pastel dry, eight davs eighty OXes and is ready : COmMUALY em: ’"T ¥8 about N hands and turns out abou New of MACAron | now give } count ) MADQG In yd flintest varie rat the LT OUnN to and ties of washed and sun This | and run Kleve bran separate flinty then successively seri of six hand each a little finer than the pre ceding, for the purpose of separating the flinty portions from the bran. This apparently simple process requires con iderable skill, and a certain knack which it takes time to sequire. The motion which is given to the sieves by the sifters is half rotary and half and down, with an indescribable motion, which can only be character ized as a ‘boomerang,’ for it throws the mass which is being sifted opposite direction to that taken by the sieve, Every few minutes each sifter pauses and skims off the bran which has worked to the top snd center of the sieve, and after these various manipn- Istions there remains a clean, flinty farina, known as semolina. This is then mixed with warm water into a stiff dough, and this dongh is thoroughly kueaded by means of a long prism-like, nq up wide hardwood lever, so adjusted that the | spring of the timber may be utilized in alternately raising and depressing it upon the mass of dough, which iv then pressed and kneaded into the required | consivtency. It is rather smusing to see two or three men sitting on the end of this lover and bobbing up and down 80 as to throw their weight at one instant on the lever, bring it down into the dough, and then ing it to spring up again, in order Shut fs may be brought down in a new p After it has been thus mixed and kneaded for absut an hour, $e dough is put into presses wi perforated bottom, and pressure lied, it comes out a pon A the shape known to us as macaroni. At this stage of the process it is, of intirely | alone, | rhiteen in an course, soft and flexible, and in order to keep the various little strings of dough from sticking together, it is constantly fanned by a boy, so that | the current of air thus made may slight. {ly dry the outside of the strings and prevent them from adhering. It {then cut off and hung on racks co» | frames made of bamboo to dry. As it | hangs on the frames. the preces are of unequal length, and a boy passes rapidly over them, wring- ing off the longer ends to make them uniform. The drying process has to be done in the shade and in a place not ex- posed to the wind; for, if dried too quickly, or if the slender pieces were blown against one another, they would be apt to break. When sufficiently dry it is removed from the frames and packed in boxes such as are familiar to all grocers. The different sizes are made hy { changing the movable bottoms of the press and employing different sized perforations. Each of these perfora- ted holes has a core or center around | which the dough has to pass, and this produces the hollow which 1s a char- acteristio of the macaroni. The rea- son of this arrangement is, if the mae- arona is made solid, it wonld take very long to dry when hung npon racks, and also when dried it would be very difficult to cook it withouta great deal of boiling, and uniformily. Bo important is this con- sidered, and so defective do the Ital- ians regard the product if not perforated, that a proverb has arisen in Italy to the effect that ‘*A foolish like macaroni without any | | person 18 hole in it."
