which must be attached to these sacks or packages. On these tags 

 must be clearly printed all the essential information given in the regis- 

 tration above, as illustrated below. Said tags must measure not less 

 than 4^2 x 23^2 inches. Guarantee tags must be printed in plain type 

 with black ink. Rubber stamps will not be recognized on guarantee 

 tags. 



Third. Three guarantees are required, viz.: the minimum percent- 

 age of crude protein and crude fat and the maximum percentage of 

 crude fiber. In other words, the crude protein and crude fat in a man- 

 ufacturer's goods must not be less than his guarantee, and the fiber must 

 not be above his guarantee. The percentage of carbohydrates may be 

 stated, but this is not required. The names of the ingredients of which 

 the feed is composed must be plainly printed on the tag. 



Fourth. Definitions have been adopted for a number of feeds. In 

 such cases where a feed or feed material is covered by a definition the 

 feed must correspond within reasonable limits to the definition which 

 has been adopted for it. With all feeds covered by definitions and all 

 other feeds or mixtures of feeds the manufacturer is required to make 

 his own minimum guarantee of protein and fat and his maximum guar- 

 antee of fiber: Provided, that no mixed feeds will be accepted for reg- 

 istration or allowed to be offered for sale in this State that contain less 

 than 10 per cent crude protein, except mixtures of whole or partially 

 ground grains. 



Fifth. When grain screenings containing weed seeds which have 

 feeding value are used in mixed feeds such screenings and seeds must 

 be ground in such manner as to destroy the viability of the seeds. 



Sixth. It is optional with manufacturers or sellers whether the sack 

 be branded, although that is always desired; but the required items 

 must always be printed on the tag in black-colored ink, but not printed 

 with a rubber, stamp. The tax stamp must be affixed to the tag, prefer- 

 ably alongside the printed matter, but in case of necessity may be 

 attached to the back of the tag. 



Seventh. Feeds may be shipped in bulk from one manufacturer 

 direct to another manufacturer who expects to subsequently sack and 

 tag the same; but in this case the shipper, in consideration of this per- 

 mission, must notify this Department at the time of the shipment of 

 the name and consignee and the tonnage shipped; otherwise, the whole 

 shipment will be subject to seizure as being untagged and unstamped. 



Eighth. The principal adulterants employed in the feed trade are 

 oat hulls, barley hulls, rice hulls, corncobs, peanut shells, screenings, 

 com bran, and cotton-seed hulls. Some of the above may be found 

 legitimately in a feed consequent to the grinding of the whole seed, but 

 when used out of proper proportion or in excess of the amount obtained 

 in grinding the whole seed, or when foreign to the product, or if injur- 

 ious to the health of domestic animals, will be considered an adulter- 

 ation. 



Ninth. If any substance, such as chaff, screenings, damaged, 

 faulty, or unlike seeds or grains or foreign materials be mixed with or 

 added to feeds as an adulterant and not plainly marked on the package 

 containing it or in which it is offered for sale, showing the true composi-
