 MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION 



INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FEEDSTUFFS 



By Philip H. Smith and Frank J. Kokoski 



Massachusetts, some thirty years ago, was one of the first states to control 

 the sale of feeding stuffs through legislation. Other states, realizing the 

 wisdom of this policy, gradually followed until at the present time every state 

 having an extensive dairy and live stock industry has a feeding stuffs act 

 upon its statute books. Such an act is of especial importance where so much 

 of the food for our farm animals is purchased outside of the state boundaries. 



This publication is the thirty-second report of the work of feeding stuff 

 inspection. It presents the results of the chemical and microscopic analyses 

 on 1,428 samples of feeding stuffs intended for live stock and poultry con- 

 sumption, collected during the year ending September 1, 1926. 



Requests for Bulletins should be addressed to the
