One of the most frequent violations of the feeding stuff law is 

 the failure of dealers to have in their possession the proper 

 statement of the source and composition of licensed goods 

 stored and sold in bulk. Licensed brands stored and sold in the 

 manufacturer's sacks are usually properly marked. Because a 

 brand is licensed the dealer handling it in bulk is not excused 

 from the requirement of furnishing to the consumer the state- 

 ment required by law. It should be entirely easy to secure such 

 a statement from the manufacturer or jobber and there is no 

 good reason for failing in this particular. 



The sale of the offals from milling wheat has also required 

 some attention. It is customary with many mills to run to- 

 gether all the offals, bran, middling, etc., and sell this mixture 

 under the term " mixed feed." 



The requirements of the feeding stuff law do not apply to bran 

 and middlings from wheat, rye and buckwheat when sold as such 

 and it has been necessary to rule that these cannot be sold in a 

 mixed condition under the simple term " mixed feed " without 

 complying with the provisions of the law, but must be labeled, 

 if labeled at all, as pure bran and middlings. 



For the information of dealers who desire to be law-abiding 

 and avoid the responsibility of doing business illegally, the fol- 

 lowing list is given of goods either not licensed, or if licensed, 

 without evidence of the same appearing as they were found in 

 the hands of dealers. 



The goods in this list should be avoided until they are placed 

 on the market legally.
