It is believed that the law will prove of great benefit to 

 farmers, and they are to be congratulated u})on its (uiact-

 New England States, as well as in New York, New Jersey, 

 Penns3dvania, Maryland, North Carolina and Wisconsin. 



The new feed law went into eftect July 1. Mr. Albert 

 Parsons was appointed inspector, and has made a thorough 

 canvass of the State, collecting some 700 samples. It is 

 proposed to keep the inspector at work in diiferent sections 

 of the State a considerable portion of the year ; in this way 

 the station can be kept thoroughly informed concerning the 

 character of the feeds offered. As would naturally be sup- 

 posed, many feeds were found unmarked and without a 

 guaranty, and it will require some time and considerable 

 patience to bring about a complete conformity to the law\ 

 On the whole, it may be said that dealers appear ready and 

 willing to conform to its requirements, and are constantly 

 addressing letters of inquiry to the station concerning the 

 character and value of the manifold feeds offered by manu- 

 facturers and jobbers. The station stands ready to co-operate 

 wdth consumer, local dealer, jobber and manufacturer, to the 

 end that all may be benefited. 



The details of this inspection will be found in Bulletin 



No. 93.
