The inspection of commercial feeding stufifs reported in this 

 bulletin was made under the direction of Honorable Andrew 

 L. Felker, Commissioner of Agriculture. Mr. E. D. Sanborn, 

 State Inspector, collected samples of 495 brands of feeding 

 stuffs which were offered for sale in the State during the year 

 ending June, 1940. This is the largest number of samples ana- 

 lyzed during any inspection year to date. The 495 samples

Registration and Labeling of Feeding Stuffs 



Registration : — The New Hampshire law, entitled an Act 

 to Regulate the Sale of Concentrated Commercial Feeding 

 Stuffs, requires registration with the Commissioner of Agri- 

 culture of each brand oft'ered for sale. This is usually done 

 by the manufacturer or jobber whether he is located within or 

 outside the State. Feeding stuffs manufactured in other states 

 frequently pass through several middlemen before they reach 

 the local distributor. Under the provisions of the law if the 

 manufacturer or jobber fails to make registration, the dealer 

 is responsible. Dealers who purchase feed for resale must as- 

 sure themselves the brands they purchase are properly regis- 

 tered and the license fee paid or assume that responsibility. 

 The official charged with the administration of the law is the 

 'Commissioner of Agriculture. All matters relative to registra- 

 ti'on and all inquiries concerning the law should be addressed 

 to the Commissioner of Agriculture, State House, Concord. 



Labeling" : — The law requires every manufacturer or dealer 

 who shall sell or offer for sale any concentrated commercial 

 feeding stuff to furnish with each package a clearly printed 

 statem.ent certifying the net weight of the feed contained in
