Original copies in printed paper covers art filmed beginning with the front cover and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All other original copies are filmed beginning on the first page with a printed or illustrated Impres- sion, and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impression. The last recorded frame on each microfiche shall contain the symbol —^ {meaning "CON- TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), whichever applies. Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at different reduction ratios. Those too large to be entirely included in one exposure are filmed beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to right and top to bottom, as many frames as required.

OlRALD, Ek|., Deputy Miniater of Inland Revenue. Sir, — In Moordanoe with vour inttrnotioni of 11th and 12th June last, a oolleotion of canneid nieata waa made an they are offered for aale in the Dominion. These included not only good* packed in Canada, but also about an e<|ual namlwr of aamplea aa put up by manufaotnren in the United States. The latter were, of course, obtained from dealers in Canada, but, as regards Canadian products, they were taken not only from retailers and wholefcale merchants, but also at the factories. The samples were obtained in tha oourfie of June and July, the number trom the various inspection districts being aa follows : — Nova Scotia 33 Prince Edward Island 16 New Brunswick 27 Quebec 33 St Byacinthe 32 Montreal 32 Ottawa 32 Kingston 24 Toronto 32 London 20 Manitoba 10 British Columbia 32 ToUl 322 With reference to their examination in this laboratory it may be stated that the manner of testing them was the same as referred to in Bulletin No. 85. On opening the tins it was noted as to whether the meats appeared to be fresh and destitute of any disagreeable odour, and they were tested as to whether any preservatives had been used in packing them. Only four samples out of the total collection were found to give evidence of decomposition, a proportion amounting only to 1 • 4 per cent. The preserv- atives sought for were salicylic, oenzoic, sulphurous and boric acids, but only the last named was detected in a comparatively small number of samples, in quantity not exceed- ing the limit fired by the English parliamentary commission of 05 per cent, and probably added in the shape of borax. There were 51 such samples among the 322 collected or 15-8 p^r cent This proportion is less than in the collection of 1903 where the proportion <~' .-t-iln. containing borax amounted to 21 -2 per cent. Full deta- -•' .. 'he nature and origin of the samples examined are given in the tabulated % • ^nded to this report. Since its completion, however, my attention has U». . i-o the number for June, 1906, of the Monthly Bulletin of the State Board of Heu... > o. Massachusetts in which there is a report on canned meats with the followitiit; statement : — " In general it may be said that the results are favourable to the manufacturers ' both in the west and i.i the east ; but certain preparations, the manufacture of which ' involves comminution or grinding, are very largely fraudulent in character, in that they 'are not what they purport to be. These preparations include the various potted 'tongues, chicken, beef and ham, and devilled chicken, turkey, ham and tongue." Some of these are said to contain corn meal, for which no search was made in the samples described in this report. Since its preparation is desired with all possible dis- patch, I do not propose to delay it any longer, but intend to refer to the subject of such adulterated potted goods in a future report I have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servant, THOMAS MACFABLANE, Chi^ Analyat. 123— IJ i H > « O X H Ph H S Q H S5 < O C^ O S5 C Pk OQ I ■I I r ■S|(Iiu«^ jo -ox I 'UoiioaiioQ ii ^ i ji ^ 1 !^ 4 1 i ^ ^ i i ^ ^ i s r r = : r r s : • r z X £ r _«__ _w_ n _«_ « « rt M ■0 M « M v> m « « I, S'3 is 2 = 3 ' *a5 «»; i i 1^ i h- S^*'. gz O.I 4 = oi •^ ~> 1*5 = W ""J W OQ rt S S ^ S S 1^ ^ H 3 '^ . tf^E- fiSOiJ A 7i 1^ 1 e > c S 8 S S S 8 S 1 ^ 1 i 9 i; $ S SS IS S ^ ^ S; s?
