Bran, the outer coating of the wheat, contains twice or three times as much fiber as does either of the other products from wheat, and proportionately less of each of the other ingredients except ash, which is greater, perhaps partly due to foreign matter adhering to the kernel. The following analysis shows the amount of constituents removed by the bran (10 lb.) from one bushel of wheat: Lb. per Bushel of Wheat. Water. 1.459 Ash. 0.506 Albuminoids. 1.416 Woody fiber. 1.000 Carbo-hydrates (starchy matters). 5.277 Ash. 0.342 From the foregoing milling products obtained from one bushel of wheat of 60 lb. in weight, the ash on analysis gave the following constituents, which shows the amount that was abstracted from the soil by its growth: _____________________________________________________ | CONSTITUENTS FROM ONE BUSHEL OF WHEAT. | _____________________________________________________| | | | | | |Nitrogen.|Phosphoric| Potash. | Lime. | | | Acid. | | | | | | | | +---------+----------+---------+---------+ | | | | | Flour. | 0.739 | 0.092 | 0.054 | 0.013 | Middlings. | 0.105 | 0.064 | 0.024 | 0.002 | Shipstuff. | 0.056 | 0.044 | 0.021 | 0.003 | Bran. | 0.228 | 0.251 | 0.083 | 0.012 | +---------+----------+---------+---------+ Totals. | 1.118 | 0.454 | 0.182 | 0.030 | ____________|_________|__________|_________|_________| Or we may express the results in another form, the amount contained in one ton of straw, and the products of 30 bushels of wheat, which may be reckoned as an average crop, expressing the amounts in pounds as follows:
