On the other hand, bran is bought not simply asa desirable bulky and laxative food, but especiallybecause, on account of its percentage of protein be-ing much higher than that of corn, the nutritive ratioof an ordinary mixed food may be narrowed by itsuse. The digestion experiments compiled by Lind-sey (Report of Massachusetts Agricultural Experi-ment Station 1896), while too few to be conclusive,nevertheless indicate an appreciably higher digesti-bility for the protein of spring wheat bran. Fur-thermore, existing analyses indicate that springwheat is, on the average, one per cent richer in pro-tein than are the winter varieties. In all wheat the.
