Three dealers' samples submitted in 1914 

 were up to guarantee in protein. No 

 goods of this brand found by inspectors 

 and no dealers' samples submitted since 

 October, 1914. 



Of 8 dealers ' samples, 5 were up to guaran- 

 tee in protein; 2 were slightly below; 

 and one was over 1 per cent, below. 2 

 official samples were collected. One was 

 up to guarantee in protein and the other 

 slightly below. Both were high in fiber, 

 one running over 3 per cent, above the 

 claimed maximum. Both were up to 

 guarantee in fat. 



Of 74 dealers' samples, 48 were up to guar- 

 antee in protein; 6 were slightly below; 

 14 were from 1 to 2 per cent, below; and 

 6 were over 2 per cent, below. 27 official 

 samples were collected. 14 were up to 

 guarantee in protein; 4 were slightly 

 below; 6 were from 1 to 2 per cent, be- 

 low; and 3 were over 2 per cent, below. 

 Complete examinations of 10 of the offi- 

 cial samples were made, 3 of the sam- 

 ples that were up in protein, and 7 

 samples that were deficient in protein. 

 Of the 3 that were up in protein, 2 

 carried no more fiber than claimed; the 

 other was slightly high. Of the 7 that 

 were low in protein, all were more than 



1 per cent, too high in fiber, most of 

 them considerably more; two carried 

 over 14i per cent, crude fiber. None of 

 the samples examined were deficient in 

 fat. 



Two dealers' samples were both up to guar- 

 antee in protein. 2 official samples were 

 collected. One was up to guarantee in 

 protein; the other was slightly below. A 

 complete examination of the official 

 sample which was up in protein was 

 made; it was found up to guarantee in 

 fat but slightly high in fiber. 



Of 32 dealers' samples, 18 were up to guar- 

 antee in protein; 12 were slightly below; 

 and 2 were over 1 per cent, below. 10 

 official samples were collected. 7 were 

 up to guarantee in protein; 2 were 

 slightly below; and one was over 2 per 

 cent, below. Complete examinations of 



2 official samples were made; one of 

 them a sample that was up in protein, 

 the other the one that was deficient. The 

 one that was up in protein carried a little 

 more fiber than claimed; the one that 

 was low in protein was very high in fiber, 

 carrying over 15 1 per cent. Both sam- 

 ples were up to guarantee in fat.
