1 Two analyses made. 



2 1924 stock. As soon as the low test was reported to the Armour Fertilizer Works, tags bearing a nitro- 

 gen guarantee of 6.58 per cent were attached to each sack. The product had a commercial valuation of 

 148.50 and under the original guarantee it had a commercial shortage of $1.14 per ton. The sample was 

 drawn at Whitman. 



Collected at Lunenburg. Commercial valuation $51.98. Commercial shortage $5.56 per ton. The 

 product was not a genuine animal tankage. It was adulterated with acid phosphate, nitrate of soda, horn 

 and hoof meal and other organic nitrogen containing substances, most likely one of the processed organic 

 products. The adulterants indicated by both the chemical analysis and the naked eye were later confirmed 

 by a microscopical examination.
