Among the advantages claimed for
this process, the circular of Mr. Bentz
sets forth that a saving in time in grind

This opinion he predictates upon the
hypothesis, that it is the bran, which re

method, which causes it to sour. This
opinion derives support from the fact,
that what is termed dyspeptic flour—
flour containing the bran—will not keep
