Owing to the hard, flinty nature of the durum wheat a longer time and more water is requii"ed for tem- pering than with ordinary wheat flour. About a (juart of water per loo pounds of wheat was , and the dampened grain was allowed to stand for twenty-four hours at a temperature of 20^ C. before grinding. The samples were milled under the supervision of Mr. Ro))ert Dewar, an experienced miller, who at the time was engaged in special.
