permit the grain to feed from the hopper underneath thetdoth and on top of the riddle will keep aw ned kernels from tipping and will help in making a separation this method has also proven helpful in removing oats from barley it cannot be adop- teov however in the case if mills where the wind blows up through the riddle or top screen heavier feeding and greater pitch of riddle will also help in makint such separations barley will stand considerably more wind than will oats and sufficient jfrjnd should be applied to remove as many oa kernels as possible also off type barley kernels will be
