After the cereal has been sterilized it may contain too muchmoisture to be packed, and a drying process then becomes the case of cereals which are not flaky and to which agitation isnot injurious, a sterile chute with baffles (fig. 6), through which hot,. Fig. 6.—Diagram of chute with baffles for cooling cereal. (Original.) dry air is blown, would be effective. The air is thus placed in contactwith the falling cereal. In the case of flaky cereals a belt elevator isnecessary, but this can be inclosed and the hot air used as in theformer case. Both elevators should be so constructed that they canbe readily sterilized# with air at a temperature above 1S0° F. Thisshould be occasionally done as precaution against infestation. THE SEALED CARTON. The sealed carton may be made of a stiff, though perhaps a cheaper,grade of cardboard than is used when the cardboard itself is printed. The printed labelshould be made inthree pieces,namely, two ends,which lap over theedges and extenda short distancedown the side; anda side piece, whichsecurely coversthe edges of theend pieces.
