HARVESTING, MARKETING, AND MILLING WHEAT 97 large fanning mill, which, by means of screens, air blast, and suction, removes the coarse material, such as sticks and straws, and also the fine material, consisting mostly of weed seeds and dirt particles. The final separations. A pair of burr stones, used before the advent of steel rolls. are made by means of an improved cleaning machine known as a milling separator. This removes practically all the remaining foreign material. Scouring. There still remain, however, fine dust particles clinging to the kernel, expecially in the crease, and these are removed by scouring, but usually not with water. In this process the kernels are thrown, by sets of beaters, with considerable force against the slightly rough- ened iron sides of the scouring case and also against each other. The dust particles, the fine hairs, and the small bran particles are thus loosened, and are then removed by strong suction applied at one end of the machine. All fine material removed from the cleaning and scouring ma- chinery by air-suction currents is conveyed through spouts to dust collectors. This prevents such material from fly- ing about in the mill and getting mixed with the flour. Tempering. After the wheat has been cleaned and scoured, it is usually necessary, in order to prevent the branny coat from grinding up so fine that it will pass through the bolting cloth into the flour, to add to the.
