Interpretations. 



For sales in bulk from the wholesaler or jobber to 

 Bulk Sales. the retailer, plainly printed cards tacked to the out- 

 side and inside of the car, stating brand, name and 

 address of the manufacturer and guaranty of protein and fat meet 

 the legal requirements. The retailer must have similar statements 

 to furnish the purchaser upon request for the same. In most cases 

 the cards from the car tacked up in a conspicuous place on or near 

 the bin will probably suffice. If the retailer bags the feed in his own 

 sacks and so offers the same for sale, tags must be attached as in 

 the case of other feeds. 



It has not been deemed necessary to assume any 

 Feed Exempt, oversight of the sale of wet brewers' grains, wet 

 malt refuse, wet yeast refuse and similar products. 

 Hays and straws; the grains — wheat, rye, barley, oats, Indian corn, 

 buckwheat and broom corn — when whole, ground separately or 

 ground together ; wheat bran, wheat middlings and wheat mixed 

 feed (bran and middlings) are exempt under section 3 of the law, 

 but this exemption only applies when these products are free from 

 other substances. 



Poultry meals and scratching grains composed solely of the 

 grains mentioned above, free from other seeds, by-products, and 

 materials like charcoal, grit, shells, etc., are also exempt. 



Unground wheat screenings are considered exempt ; ground wheat 

 screenings, however, must conform to the law. 



The writer earnestly desires the fullest co operation of all manufac- 

 turers, jobbers, local dealers and consumers. Communications may
