Sect. 5. The secretary of the board of agriculture shall 

 annually cause to be analyzed at the New Hampshire Col- 

 lege Agricultural Experiment Station, at least one sample, 

 to be taken in the manner hereinafter prescribed, of every 

 concentrated commercial feeding-stuff sold or offered for 

 sale under the provisions of this act. Said secretary

 pounds in weight, for said analysis, from any lot or pack- 

 age of such commercial feeding-stuff which may be in the 

 possession of any manufacturer, importer, agent, or dealer 

 in this state ; but said sample shall be drawn in the pres- 

 ence of the parties in interest, or their representatives, 

 and taken from a parcel or a number of packages, which 

 shall not be less than ten per centum of the whole lot 

 sampled, and shall be thoroughly mixed, and then divided 

 into two equal samples, and placed in glass vials and 

 carefully sealed and a label placed on each stating the 

 name of the party from whose stock the sample was 

 drawn and the time and place of drawing, and said label 

 shall also be signed by the person taking the sample, and 

 by the party or parties in interest or their representatives 

 at the drawing and sealing of said samples; one of said 

 duplicate samples shall be retained by the secretary and 

 the other by the party whose stock was sampled, and the 

 sample or samples retained by the secretary shall be for 

 comparison with the certified statement named in section 

 3 of this act. The result of the analysis of the sample or 

 samples so procured, together with such additional in- 

 formation as circumstances advise, shall be published in 

 reports or bulletins from time to time.
