The Bulletin. 



Two brands of meat meal were found on the market. These are very 

 concentrated feeds, being high in protein and low in fiber. 



MISCELLANEOUS MIXED FEEDS. 



In this class are grouped feeds which are sold under the name Mixed 

 Feed, Mill Feed, and Feed. These are usually mixtures of wheat 

 products, wheat and corn products, and cotton-seed meal. 



As with other classes of mixed feeds, the manufacturers are required 

 to state on the tag the ingredients which compose them, and the pur- 

 chaser should pay special attention to see that this is done. 



SALT IN FEEDS. 



It has been found that some manufacturers of mixed feeds now add 

 salt, in small quantity, to the feeds. The molasses feeds and the alfalfa 

 mixed feeds are usually the ones in which salt is found. A number of 

 samples of feeds of these two classes were examined and salt was found 

 in several of them, the amount varying from a few tenths of one per 

 cent to slightly over one per cent. The presence of a very small amount 

 of salt in a mixed feed is not objectionable, but in all cases where it is 

 added the fact should be plainly stated on the tag. 



ADULTERANTS. 



The following materials when mixed with feeds without sufficient 

 labeling to indicate their presence are considered adulterants: corn 

 bran, rice hulls, ground corncobs, peanut hulls, peanut middlings, oat 

 hulls, mill sweepings, screenings, cotton-seed hulls, and similar products.
