ANALYSES OF SAMPLES COLLECTED BY INSPECTORS. 



The following table (II) shows the partial analyses of samples of 

 feeding stuffs collected by inspectors in various parts of the State 

 from Oct. 9, 1902, to Feb. 6, 1903. 



The percentages of protein and fat guaranteed are given for com- 

 parison with the amounts actually present. In order to determine 

 the true value of feeds we must look into the carbohydrate portion, 

 and the presence of coffee hulls, oat hulls, corn-cobs, or other in- 

 ferior ingredients is usually shown by an abnormal amount of crude 

 fiber. Therefore, in most of the samples the percentage of crude 

 fiber was determined. The table also includes the retail prices per 

 ton.
