era of activity in tho coal-producing
industry of the Pittsburgh dis

ADULTERATING FLOUR.
Mcnt I'luii of Western .Miller to Oirrcmnn
the World' Win-tit Shortage.
Washington, Aug. '20. The depart
ment of agriculture has been working
for several weeks to get proof of n
shrewd scheme said to have originated
In tlie west, it is the practice said to
be now in vogue among western mill
ers, of mixing ten per cent, of corn
meal with 00 per cent, of Hour, which
the agricultural department is trying;
to unearth. Conclusive proof has been
secured that the practice is widely
prevalent just now. In the United
States :;:i0,000,000 bushels of wheat am
made into flour every year. Mixing;
ten per cent, of corn would save JHl.OOO,
000 bushels of wheatoutof the original
MO.OOO.OOO, which at the price of 81.00
per bushel would mean SM.OOO.OOO.
Tho corn to replace this is being bought,
at HO cents a bushel, and it would there
fore cost only 0,000,000 to buy corn for
tho ten per cent, of meal needed which
would net the millers of the country u
clear profit of S'23,000,000. Flour mixed
with ten per cent, of corn meal cannot
be detected in tho cooking. Hut the
agricultural department, on the moral
ground that honesty is tho only true
policy, proposes to expose the millers
neat scheme to make profits.
