July, 1938) INSPECTION OF FEEDING STUFFS 



The dealer who offers for sale a feeding stuff which has not 

 been registered and which is not guaranteed in compliance 

 with the law is probably indifferent to his customer's interests 

 in other respects. He does not merit either the confidence or 

 the patronage of the consumer. 



The purchaser's co-operation in refusing to buy a feed 

 which does not conform to the law in every respect will not 

 only help in the enforcement of the law but will at the same 

 time afford himself the protection of the law. If the buyer 

 fails to assure himself the legal requirements have been met, 

 he accepts the feeding stuff at his own risk. The state official 

 charged with the enforcement of the feeding stuffs law is the 

 Commissioner of Agriculture. All inquiries concerning the 

 law and all matters relative to the registration of brands 

 should be addressed to his office in Concord. 



CLASSIFICATION 



In classifying the feeding stuff's here reported, the class 

 name under which they were offered to the consumer has been 

 used. The classes are arranged alphabetically. Table I shows 

 the number of brands in each class, the page on which the 

 analysis may be found, the average price per loo pounds, the 

 average per cent of protein, the number of pounds of protein 

 per $1.00, the number deficient by one-half per cent or more 

 of protein, the average per cent fat, the number of pounds of 

 fat per $i.oo, and the number deficient by one-fourth per cent 

 or more of fat. 



The columns pounds of protein per $i.oo and pounds of 

 fat per $i.oo are included for the convenience of consumers 

 interested in the comparative cost of protein and fat in the 

 dift'erent concentrates. They are not corrected for the varying 

 amounts of the other constituents.
