The nitro genous matter is present to a greater degree than it ■would be in flour prepared from this wheat, while the retention of the germ in the inual adds greatly to its .value as a fteshrpro ducer, owing to the large amount of albumi noids thus retained. ' The ash is heavier than In ordinary wheat flours, and as this is chiefly composed of phosphates, which are very im portant as bonc-fqrming materials, it-will be seen how beneficial this food will prove to children. lam of opinion that this preparation will prove of great dietetic value, but to ensure its easy assimilation by the system it will re quire care in cooking, and will need .at least thirty minutes at a boiling temperature to attain this result. : . . . 1 have the honour to be Your obedient servant, '"~ j.
