June, 1919] inspection of feeding stuffs 7 



Flaxseed Meals. 



Eight samples of flaxseed meals were analyzed. These feeds 

 averaged to contain 34.52% protein, 6.91% fat, and to retail 

 at $3.35 per hundred pounds. One hundred per cent of these 

 feeds equalled or exceeded the manufacturer's protein guarantee 

 and eighty-eight per cent his fat guarantee. 



Gluten Feeds. 



Eight samples of gluten feeds were analyzed. These feeds 

 averaged to contain 23.90% protein, 3.39% fat, and to retail at 

 $3.31 per one hundred pounds. Twelve per cent of these feeds

 feeds equalled or exceeded the manufacturer's protein guarantee 

 and seventy-eight per cent his fat guarantee.

Ten samples of molasses feeds were analyzed. These feeds 

 averaged to contain 13.49% protein, 4.77% fat, and to retail at 

 $3.00 per one hundred pounds. Ninety per cent of these feeds 

 equalled or exceeded the manufacturer's guarantee both of 

 protein and fat.

Three samples of peanut feeds- were analyzed. These feeds 

 averaged to contain 30.76% protein, 7.42% fat, and to retail at 

 $3.15 per one hundred pounds. Thirty-three per cent of these
