INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL 

 FEEDING STUFFS 



ANALYSES OF COMMERCIAL FEEDING-STUFFS 



COLLECTED BY THE COMMISSIONER OF 



AGRICULTURE IN 1922. 



INTRODUCTION 



This report deals with the inspection of commercial feed- 

 ing-stuffs for the year 1922, made under the direction of 

 the Honorable Andrew L. Felker, Commissioner of Agricul- 

 ture. During the year 1919 the consumers of New- 

 Hampshire purchased about ten million dollars worth of 

 commercial feeding-stuffs. The value of these materials is 

 determined very largely by their chemical analysis. In 

 order that the purchaser may be able to determine the value 

 of a feeding-stuff the state law requires that commercial 

 feeding-stuffs be labeled with a guaranteed analysis. To 

 enforce the law and protect the consumer against the 

 possible adulteration and misbranding of these materials 

 the state maintains an inspection service. If this work is 

 to be of the most value and protection the consumer must 

 make use of it.
