ADULTERANTS. 



When mixed with good feeding materials, without proper labeling 

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

 corn cobs, peanut hulls, peanut middlings, oat hulls, oat dust, mill 

 sweepings, screenings, cotton-seed hulls, and other similar products 

 are adulterants. The tables containing the chemical and microscop- 

 ical examinations show that these adulterants were used to a con- 

 siderable extent in the make-up of the feeds sold for stock in the State 

 prior to the enforcement of the present feed law. To convey an idea 

 of the real feeding value of these adulterants the following analyses 

 were made :
