ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



Off. Doc. 



The law of 1901 abolishes this alternative and requires that the 

 guaranty shall be given in terms of nitrogen. Many manufacturers 

 after tromplying with the terms of the law, insert additional items 

 in their guaranties, often with the result of misleading or confusing 

 the buyer; the latter will do well to give heed to those items only 

 that are given as the law requires and that are presented in these 

 tables. 



A summary of the analyses made this season may be presented 

 as follow^s, excepting the miscellaneous class:
