l66 MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. I914. 



Maple Sugar. 

 Two samples of maple sugar, one purchased from E. Janelle 

 & Co., Lisbon St., Lewiston, and the other from Emile Dumont, 

 500 Lisbon St., Lewiston, were examined and found to be pure 

 maple sugar. 



Maple Sirup. 



A few samples of bulk maple sirup were purchased by the 

 inspectors. Two of these, No. 10598 and No. 123 13, were adul- 

 terated by not being sufficiently evaporated, — that is, they were 

 pure maple goods, but contained too much water and much less 

 sugar than they should have had. 



Samples 12621 and 12306 were straight adulterations. They 

 were sold openly as pure maple sirup and contained no maple. 

 Apparently the dealers were aware of exactly what they were 

 selling. 



The results of the examination are given in the table which 

 follows. ■ 



Table showing the results of analyses of samples of maple sirup 

 purchased in the spring of 1914. Samples arranged alpha- 

 betically by towns in which purchased. Maple Sirup should 

 contain not more than 55 per cent of water.
