SHIPSTUFF.

That part separated and known as shipstuff is a very thin layer next
outside of the middlings, and contains the germ not found in the
middlings or left as a part of the flour. The quantity produced, 2 lb.
from a bushel of wheat, is very small and rarely kept separate from
the bran. The following shows the analysis:

Lb. per Bushel
of Wheat.
Water. 0.282
Ash. 0.101
Albuminoids. 0.349
Woody fiber. 0.160
Carbo-hydrates (starchy matters). 1.088
Fat. 0.099

BRAN.

Bran, the outer coating of the wheat, contains twice or three times as
much fiber as does either of the other products from wheat, and
proportionately less of each of the other ingredients except ash,
which is greater, perhaps partly due to foreign matter adhering to the
kernel. The following analysis shows the amount of constituents
removed by the bran (10 lb.) from one bushel of wheat:

Lb. per Bushel
of Wheat.
Water. 1.459
Ash. 0.506
Albuminoids. 1.416
Woody fiber. 1.000
Carbo-hydrates (starchy matters). 5.277
Ash. 0.342

From the foregoing milling products obtained from one bushel of wheat
of 60 lb. in weight, the ash on analysis gave the following
constituents, which shows the amount that was abstracted from the soil
by its growth:
