ADULTERANTS. 



When mixed with other good feeding materials without proper labeling 

 or guarantee to indicate their presence, corn bran, rice chaff, ground 

 corn-cohs, peanut hulls, peanut middlings, oat hulls, oat dust, mill sweep- 

 ings, screenings, cotton-seed hulls, and other similar products are adul- 

 terants. The tables containing the chemical and microscopic examina- 

 tions show that these adulterants were used to a considerable extent in 

 the make-up of the feeds sold for stock in the State prior to the enforce- 

 ment of the present feed law. To convey an idea of the real feeding 

 value of these adulterants the following analyses were made : 



Peanut hulls 



Peanut middlings - 

 Ground corn-cobs - 



Rice chaff 



Oat hulls 



Oat dust 



Wheat screenings - 



Corn bran 



Cotton-seed hulls-
