VERMONT AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 1 9 



order of the state auditor, who is hereby directed to draw his order for 

 such purpose. The director shall annually publish a statement of the 

 receipts and expenditures under this act. 



Sec. 6. Any manufacturer, importer, agent or person knowingly 

 selling, offering or exposing for sale any concentrated commercial 

 feeding-stuff, as denned in section two of this act, without the state- 

 ment required by section one of this act, or stating that said feeding- 

 stuff contains substantially a larger percentage of crude protien or 

 crude fat, or substantially a smaller percentage of crude fiber, than 

 is contained therein, shall, on conviction in a court of competent 

 jurisdiction, be fined not more than fifty dollars for the first offense, 

 and not more than one hundred dollars for each subsequent offense. 



Sec. 7. The director of the Vermont agricultural experiment station 

 is hereby fully empowered and authorized in person or by deputy to 

 enter any premises where feeding-stuffs are stored and to take a sample 

 not exceeding two pounds in weight for analysis from any lot or pack- 

 age of any commercial feeding-stuff, including the excepted materials 

 named in section three, which may be in the possession of any manu- 

 facturer, importer, agent or dealer in this State. Said sample shall be 

 taken from a parcel or number of packages which shall be not less than 

 five per cent, of the whole lot inspected, and shall be thoroughly mixed 

 and placed in a suitable vessel, carefully sealed and a label placed 

 thereon, stating the name or brand of the feeding-stuff or material 

 sampled, the name of the party from whose stock the sample was 

 drawn, and the time and place of drawing. And said label shall be 

 signed by the director or his deputy; provided, however, that whenever 

 requested said sample shall be taken in duplicate and carefully sealed 

 in the presence of the party or parties in interest or their representa- 

 tive, in which case one of said duplicate samples shall be retained by the 

 director and the other by the party whose stock was sampled. The 

 sample or samples retained by the director shall be for comparison 

 with the certified statement named in section one of this act. 



Sec. 8. Any person who shall hinder, impede, or obstruct the director 

 or his deputy, while in discharge of his duty under this act shall be 

 deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be 

 fined not less than twenty-five dollars nor more than one hundred dol- 

 lars for each offense. 



Sec. 9. Said director shall cause at least one sample of each brand or 

 kind of feeding-stuff, collected as herein provided, to be analyzed an- 

 nually. Said analysis may include determination of crude protein, 

 crude fat, and such other ingredients as it is deemed advisable at any 

 time to determine. The results of the analysis of the sample or sam- 

 ples collected as herein provided, together with such additional infor- 

 mation in relation to the character, composition and use thereof as cir- 

 cumstances may advise, shall be published in reports, bulletins, special 

 circulars, or elsewhere annually or more frequently as is deemed ad- 

 visable.
