As was stated at the outset, only a few of the more important 

 feeds, together with some of those of inferior quality which we 

 received during our inspection work of 1908 were prepared, with 

 the hope that the work could be illustrated without making a too 

 cumbersome report, or going over the same ground covered by other 

 papers to be presented on the same subject. That many feeds are 

 adulterated is easily seen, and it is of great importance to the stock 

 feeders and to the feed dealers doing a legitimate business in this 

 State, that the sale of spurious feeds be stopped, and the shipment 

 into Pennsylvania of the same, be discontinued. 



The following Table shows the actual amount of protein and fat 

 which the consumer obtained in 1907, for fl.OO at current retail 

 prices. This Table and the discussion were taken from Bulletin 167 

 of the Department of Agriculture, relating to Commercial Feedinj^ 

 Stuffs in Pennsylvania, in 1907, prepared by Chief Chemist Puller 

 of the Department.
