446 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART VI 



THE LABORATORY 



There has been an increase in the number of samples which has 

 passed through the laboratory and much information has been ob- 

 tained as to the character of the different products covered by the 

 law. Farmers have been making an increased use of the laboratory 

 to check up the quality of the concentrates they feed and the stock 

 remedies they use. 



The purpose of the law is to give them this service for a nominal 

 fee and we are glad to see them take advantage of it. Much of the 

 time of the chemist has been consumed in analyzing samples for 

 county attorneys and attending court. 



The following table gives a list of the number of samples which 



have been analyzed in the laboratory : 



Milk and Cream 1916 Samples 



Ice Cream 105 Samples 



Miscellaneous Foods 217 Samples 



Paints and Oils 16 Samples

For County Attorneys 256 Samples
