(iround Coffee Samples Analyzed.
Ilarrisburg, July 20.—Secretary Edge,
of the Department of Agriculture, has
received from Professor Cochran a report
,of the analysis of a large number of sam
ples of ''ground coffee" and "ground
coffee compounds," selected in Eastern
Pennsylvania. Some of the reports run
about as follows:
"Composed of bran, cracked wheat,
and a little caramel; chiefly wheat bran
sweetened and roasted."
" Sample bears about the same relation
to coffee as wheat screenings docs to
wheat."
" ltoasted sweetened wheat, 75 per
cent.; coffee, 25 per cent."
" Composed of the roasted and rather
finely broken grains of wheat and barley."
" Sample is composed chiefly of wheat
bran."
'• Composed of roasted cereals and
husks of cocoa beans."
" Coffee, about (I I per cent; pea hulls,
I's per cent, and chicory, 215 per cent."
" Sample is roasted rye."
" Sample is roasted barley."
" Sample is composed of wheat, chic
ory, coffee and peas, coarsely ground."
" Composed of peas, about G9 percent.;
grains, 29 per cent, and chicory about 2
per cent."
"Sample is composed of' bran, cracked
wheat, chaff and caramel."
"Sample is composed of wheat, chic
ory, coffee and peas, all coarsely ground.
< If all the samples examined, but four
were found to be composed of pure coffee,
and of these, three were pronounced to be
of "very inferior quality."
The examination was confined to
"coffee substitutes," "coffee compounds."
and to brands having names somewhat
similar lo that of coffee. 111 all cases the
name and address of the manufacturers
were preserved and will be made use of in
the report which will follow the close of
the examination, which is not yet com
pleted.
The prices of the samples examined
varied from 10 to 40 cents per pound,
and were all, so far as coffee effects were
concerned, dear at the lowest price.
