8 The Bulletin. 



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, 

 corn 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 injuri- 

 ous to the health of domestic animals, will be considered an adulteration. 



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 con- 

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

 tion of the mixture, it will be considered a violation of the law; e. g., if 

 oats be mixed with screenings and shrunken seeds or barley, the proper 

 method of branding would be "Oats and Screenings," ''Oats and Barley." 



Tenth. When wheat bran and screenings are mixed, the mixture 

 shall be branded "Wheat Bran and Screenings," and the word "Screen- 

 ings" shall appear in the same size type as the words "Wheat Bran." 



Eleventh. The sale of poultry and cattle feed which contain poison- 

 ous weed seeds in appreciable quantities, such as corn cockle and jimson 

 weed (Jamestown weed), are forbidden. 



Twelfth. When corn bran is mixed with wheat bran, the mixture 

 shall not be branded "Bran," but shall be branded "Mixed Bran," or 

 be sold under a trade name, and be so registered. 



Thirteenth. When corn bran is mixed with wheat bran and wheat 

 middlings, the mixture shall not be branded "Bran and Middlings," or 

 "Bran and Middlings Mixed," but shall be branded "Mixed Feed" or 

 "Feed" or be sold under a trade name, and be so registered. 



Fourteenth. When corn bran is mixed with wheat middlings, the 

 mixture shall not be branded "Middlings" or "Middlings and Bran," 

 but shall be branded "Mixed Feed" or "Feed," or be sold under some 

 trade name, and be so registered. 



Fifteenth. ISTo feed shall be registered or allowed on sale in this 

 State under a name that is misleading as to its quality. 



Sixteenth. The Commissioner shall have the power to require reg- 

 istration annually of any or all commercial feeds sold, offered or exposed 

 for sale in this State. 



Seventeenth. The Commissioner shall have the power to refuse to 

 allow any manufacturer, importer, jobber, broker, agent, dealer, or any 

 person or persons to lower the registration or guaranteed analysis of his 

 or their product or products during the calendar year, unless satisfac- 

 tory reasons are presented for making such change or changes.
