The modern process of flour manufacture is far more complicated than was the process in the days of our fore- fathers. Then a small quantity of wheat, called a grist, was taken to the old stone burr mill, where it was ground into unbolted wheat meal, or what is now known as Graham flour. The miller kept a portion of the grist, usually from one-twelfth to one-sixth, as toll, or pay for grinding. A little later an improvement was made in that the ground product was sifted, or bolted, to remove the bran and poorer grades of the material. The demand for white flour led to one improvement after another, until we have the gradual reduction process of to-day, producing high-grade, purified flour. The modern process consists of the following steps: I. Preparatory— 1. Cleaning. 2. Scouring. 3. Tempering. II. Milling— 1. Breaking. 2. Sifting, or bolting. 3.
