ANALYSES OF SAMPLES COLLECTED BY INSPECTOR. 
The following table (II) shows the partial analyses of samples 
of feeding stuffs collected by an inspector in different parts of the 
State from Jan. 6 to May 6, 1904. In the feeding stuffs law, 
special emphasis is laid upon two important features—first, that 
the composition of certain feeds shall be correctly guaranteed, as 
to their contents of protein and fat; second, that adulteration ot 
any feed is a violation of the law unless the true composition or. 
adulteration is plainly indicated upon the package containing 
the same or in which it is offered for sale. 
Therefore in the following tabulation the percentage of pro- 
tein and fat guaranteed are given for comparison with the amount 
actually present, and in most of the samples the percentage of 
crude fiber was determined, which served in estimating to what 
extent some of the materials were adulterated. The table also 
includes the retail price per ton. 
Owing to an excess of moisture in some of the samples collected, 
which were evidently kept under conditions favorable to the 
growth of mold, they deteriorated to such an extent that their 
analysis would represent the goods as being much inferior to what 
they were when they were sampled in the markets. 
Therefore, eight samples of corn and oat products, four of beef 
scraps, three of meat meal, two of bran and middlings, and one 
sample each of corn meal, meal and shorts, molasses feed and 
stock food were not included in the inspection.
