MISCELLANEOUS FOOD MATERIALS. 



The Commissioner of Agriculture is the executive of the law 

 regulating the sale of foods in Maine. It is the duty of the 

 Maine Agricultural Experiment Station to make the analyses 

 of the samples collected by the Commissioner, and it is the duty 

 of the Director to pubHsh the results of the analyses of the 

 samples of foods, together with the names of the persons from 

 whom the samples were obtained, the names of the manufac- 

 turers thereof and such additional information as may seem 

 advisable. 



The examination of samples of maple sugar and syrup, canned 

 milk, pickles, rice, jams and preserves, salt, sausage, tapioca, 

 tea, sweet oil and confectionery are given in this number of 

 Official Inspections. For the most part the samples were taken 

 for special reasons and are not representative of the whole State.
