Grinding Methods

The method of grinding vmeat with granite burr mlllstones was brought to this country by' the M11 settlers from Europe. Most ni these mills were operated by tr-tr-r power and Meacham's Atlas of 1880 of Prince Edward Island .-hows the sites of 112 of these 'it)ur and grist mills. Tlhese ground 'h- wheat and sifted out the flour ."mu the bran and shorts. but left vrnov desirable ingredients in the fiour. Many of II can remember 'hv- taste and quality of the "Is- 'and'' home made brad.

with the coming of the roller iirorr-so in wheat grinding. and the fznnrovnd methods of bolting the fl-i.xr.,garae1.ic-ally all theabran was mnmted. It was also found that all of line wiheat germ was re- moved with the SIIONA and mid- tiiires by this process. which pro- tvirvtl a much whiter flour and im- tvrvwcti its keeping quality.

NOTES -

covered lint it was Vitamin C. Ascorbic Acid. that had prevented the scurvy. and maintained the outstanding health at that time. of British seamen.

Vitamins 'a.rs complex chemical compounds. and while they are widely distributed in both plant and animal materials, their vary- ing quantities are usually com- paratively small. They Ite.howe'ver, effective in very small con- centrations, Vitamins do not add significant calories to the diet, but they assist mightily in the bene- ficial utilization of food. When absent. proper nutritional orc- ceuea fail to develop. and many types of disease are likely to occur.

A class of vttamins known as the "B Complex" occur in the cereal grains. The word complex was not well chosen, for there are about ten of these B vitamins. and they or all distinct .substsnces that are fmmd in most grains. Their chemical composition is known. and they are now produced synthetically in pure form at low cost.

These vitamins are all import- ant and most of them are well distributed in our common foods. There are three. however:'I'hlamin, Riboflavin and Niclan that are considcred most important. because they are t e ones liable to be need- ed tc rnak our meals both nutriti- ous and healthful. Riboflavin is frequently lacking in Canadian diets, It is also unfortunate that these vitamins are not naturally, evenly distributed in some plants. 'I'hiamin is concentrated in the outer portion of the wheat grain. and most of it is removed by the mcdern process of milling wheat flour. The thiamin is removed in the bran, shorts and middllnxzs. some have overcome this diffi- cuity by eating whole wheat bread. Others say that bran is only slight-

digest ” when eaten. and most people, if offered whole wheat bread. will eat only a little of it. The real problem. however. is that whole wheat flour spoils much more rapidly than white flour. This renders the supplying of a large city or the exporting or storing of whole wheat flour very difficult, particularly during hot weather. A check on any retail store will in- dicate that the proportion of white bread sold. exceeds many times both brown and whole wheat bread.

"Enriched Bread”

The cost of synthetic vitamins has steadily been reduced, as the danand for enriched flour and bread has greatly increased, In fact, since Canadian bakers began selling enriched bread in Feb-

ruary. use. in compliance with the

Government enactment of 1952. the extra cost of the enriched flour. with ifhiamin. riboflavin. nician and iron has been so small. a fraction of one cent a loaf, that the bakers absorbed it. It is said in amount to about ten cents per

. y remove many of the wheat vitamins and then rectors only three of them?" In milling first quality. White flour, the only vitamins removed are those that inevitably are lost by the proces that makes the kind of flour that most people demand. The three B vitamins restored in enrwhed flour are those that are usually lacking in ordinary diets. Most common foods in a reason- ably varied diet will contain suf- ficient of the other B vitamins an that there is not likely to be any serious lack of them.

In Nswvfmrndland. when prac- tically all four is imported. the Government made the use of en- riched flour compulsory in 1944. A Joint Canadian-United S t a t e a medical survey of some aspects of Ne4wfound.land's health in 1944 and again in 1048, found in the latter year a marked improvement, and attributed this partly to the en- riohed breed int. -'uced between the surveys. In the other provinces of thunder. enridhment is volun- tary. the Mllllus' and Bakers' As- sociations have usually agreed to do this. The United states was the first countrv to allow enriched bread in 1941, They made its rise compulsory from 1946-1946. Several other countries have adopted eu- riched bread. Great Britain fell in line in August. 1958,

The Canadian Council of Fur Industries held a meeting in Mont- real last Thursday to decide on a program to promote ways to spur buainen. Several rneetinglhcdtab on place previously informally with talks given that might help boost business. Mr. Morris, Coun- cil President, states that "there is an imperative need to promote fur: and fur garment: and we are therefore going to propose the creation of a fur industry advertis- ing fund and the appointment of a special committee to carry out whatever plans are finally accept- ed." Mr. Morris said an absolute minimum of 360.000 will be needed. How it will be raised has yet to be determined and one suggestion is for a small levy at the dressing stage. The Canadian Council may also take steps to renew the in- dustry'a appeal for the abolition of the 15 per cent excise tax imposed in Canada at the dressing stage. It has been pointed out that taxation on fur garments including the 10 per cent sales tax at manufactur- ing levcl and retail sales taxes which come up to 6 per cent in Quebec. acids up to about 38 per cent of the retail price. . . No won- der furs are high.

At the Stockholm, Sweden. sale held last week approximately 9'1 per cent of the 3,542 No. 1 standard mink was sold. The average price was sl3.'lff. Activity was very lively with very heavy participation from various European countries as well as the United "States. Other stand- ard mink types with prices were: No. 1 female, standards, average price 511.20; No. 2, male stnadards. average price :11; No. 2, female standards average price s'1.2a:piat- inum mink averaged 315.40; 365 silver fox were offered and '15 per cent was sold; the average price was 37.28; 244 blue fox was 95 per cent sold. average price 39.94.

Frank G. Ashbrcok. chief of the Wild Fur Animal Investigation In- terior Department. Washington. D. 0.. is one of the boosters for chin- ohilla. He has issued a statement in which he believes that this year is the time to review chin- chilla as a commerical luxury fur despite adverse fur trade conditions. Chinchilla is a new fur and might be the answer to the revitalization of the industry, adding that plars for fashion development of chin- chilla certainly will stimulate fur interest among a greater number of consumers. He noted that the chinchilla breeders have decided to establish the value of chinchilla fur by offering prime skins for sale at auction this spring, a step made possible by comparative pool- ing and the selection of the best furs.

Frank Gothier. one or the best known authorities on mink, has a lead article in the latest number of the Black Fox Magazine and Modern mink Breeder. These are quotes from it . . , . ltwhat was a good mink in the pioneer days and what is a good mink today?” This is the subject of this talk. on which I have been asked to speak. To illustrate some of the main points I will mention cattle. The fundamental qualities of selection in all livestock is the same-when her mink or cattle. The foundations of the finest herds of cattle came from. the Shorthorns in Scotland and the Herefords in England. The in-breeding of these animals a few generations ago and the in- breeding up to today have brought certain desirable qualities that have produced the best herds of cattle, in the United States and Canada. The same process was used by us original breeders of the mink from the wild state in the l92(Ys. These wild mink were crossed with mink bred in pens.

"Our finest mink came from cer- tain sections -- Quebec, Labrador, the interior of Alaska. some of the animals that I obtained myself and I have written about in articles in years gone by cost a lot of men- ey to bring out and had certain qualities that we are after. All of the pioneer men in the business at that time would' find out about these mink and there was a certain demand from certain men that created the cost of these early mink. We bid against each other until the price went up and up. lilach one of the fiye men knew the value of the certain qualities that these mink had. I will men-

Years later in our first mow in the United states (the very first) the results of these individuals. blood line; being brought together produced cvuiltnnding individuals that have dominated the herds of the United States and Canada for many years. This be- ing the fact. the influence is still being felt throughout the present herds in America. 0 C

"Your Mutation herds of mink are better because they had this foundation and it is why you have outstanding colors and individuals appearing in your Mutation herds throughout the land. I call your attention to an article written by Larry Moore some time back where he made the statement that he would never have produced 25255 Platinum: without the benefit of the Dark herd that he originally got from myself and Harvey sch- roeder. One other animal on Larry's farm wcsa mink that influenced his herd In I (treat respect in izhis way. He possessed the qualities of a de- licate color in those times with a line texture and fine cover of izuard fur, a. thick knit underfur, but most important, he was able to reproduce his qualities with some being better than him,se1r, This fact is what,makes one mink worth far more to any rancher than any other. The fact that he has the power to reproduce better descendants than himself is most desirable.

"One other instance in the Thirties, Jack Whitney bought some original mink in Whitehorse, Al- aska. He and I met at the Fair in Milwaukee about 1932. Our mink were compared on the show fable

admired by us both as being top mink. Thought Jack's rn-ink find used the animal on a cross. To give you the true picture of what I wish you to remembe -Andy Waris of Oregon bought some original mink from Whitehorse also about that time and brought them tolhc Scat- tle Show. They were not winners the first year. I Iva: judging this show when Andy asked 'me what I could do to improve his herd. Al'- ter learning the origin of his mink, I told him that I could sell a cross that would help. The next year he had the top mink of the show.
