    J. A. & A. THOMPSON {Successors to G. S. & J. THOMPSON), Maltsters, OLOBXJRY. ESTABLISHED 1805. Messrs. J. A. tSs A. Thompsox, of Oldbury, are prepared to execute orders for Malt grown and cured upon the most improved modern principles. The undernoted results have recently been arrived at on submitting their material of tills season’s make to analytical and biological examination, as well as to a dual system of mashing in Experimental Brewery, the figures proving both very satisfactory vegetation results, and final perfect curing of malt during kilning. The LADORATonv, Xovfmhu- 21al, 1887. Mpssrs. J. A. & A. Thompson, Mattings, Oldburj-. Dear Sirs,—I have pleasure in handing you analy.sis of the sample of English Barley Malt received from you on the 15th inst., together wth the results of submitting it to the dual method of mashing previously described. I must compliment you at once upon the success that has attended your operations in so far as . regularity of growth is concerned, since you are aware, of course, that barfeys of this season’s harvesting vegetate somewhat “ steely,” great difficulty being experienced in determining requisite extension of spire. The satisfactory growth in the present case is conclusively proved by the results attained when submitting your malt to the dual method of mashing, the nitrogenous per- ceiibige obtained when infusing the material, as a preliminary step, in cold liquor only exceeding by O’Wl per cent, the corresponding percentage when striking the material with liquor at 165°, so that altogether I may describe the material as having been made upon very sound principles of working. The results of biological test conflim this expression of opinion in everj- way. Yours truly, FRANK FAULKNER. ANALYSIS OF SAMPLE OF MALT, Received November \5th,from Messrs. J. A. & A.
