FEEDING-STUFFS INSPECTION FOR 1912. 



The samples for the 1912 feeding-stuffs inspection 

 were taken by Messrs. H. B. Tuttle and J. E. Robinson. 

 In all, two hundred and seventy-two samples were ob-

Of the number of samples taken two hundred and sixty-

 last session of the state legislature the feeding-stuffs law 

 was amended to include an inspection of the wheat feeds.

 manufacturer or shipper, the place of manufacture, the 

 place of business, and a chemical analysis stating the per- 

 centages it contains of crude protein, allowing one per 

 centum of nitrogen to equal six and one-fourth per centum 

 of protein, of crude fat, and of crude fibre, both con-
