A. INTRODUCTION. 



The 65 samples of stock and poultry foods and condition powders 

 herein reported were secured in most cases from fresh stock out of 

 unbroken packages. There is no intention to show prejudice 

 against this class of material. The bulletin includes the composition 

 of the various brands as ascertained by the chemist and microscop- 

 ist together with such remarks concerning their nutritive, medicinal and 

 economic values, as seem warranted by the analytical results. The 

 most important results obtain by feeding Pratts food to a number of 

 cows, are reported on pages 20-22. 



* The examination of the various condimental foods lierciu rejiorted was largely under 

 the supervision of Mr. E. B. Holland, to whom due credit should be given. He was 

 assisted by Mr. P. H. Smith and Mr. W. E. Tottingham. The microscopic work was 

 executed by Mr. A. V. Osmun.
