CORN MEAL IN FLOUR.

Agricultural Department InvestiRatinc
Charges of Adulteration.
New YORK, Aug. 27.-The Journals
Washington correspondent says. The
agricultural department is investigating
charges of the wholesale adulteration of
flour. 1t is charged that the millers of
this country, especially of the West, are
mixing the wheat flour with corr meal,
especially prepared for this purpose. 1t
is charged that as much as 10 per CEN
of the quantity of adulteration is used.
Wheat flour, with 10 per cent of corr
meal, cannot be detected in the or
binary channels of trade. The presence
OF the corn meal can only be learned by
the microscope. The bread made from
this mixture will not show any signs of
the corn meal, and its nutritive quail.
ties will be increased a little, it any.
thing. The bread made from this mix
ture will be good and wholesome, but
it will not bake SO well, being a triie
soggy.
1t is estimated that $50, OOO, 900 BUSH
els Of wheat is made into -four in the
United States each year. A 10 per cent
adulteration with corn meal would, at
the relative value of corn and wheat.
mean a very large profit-at present
prices about $22, 00O, 900 a year.
