July, 1926] INSPECTION of feeding stuffs 



r 



COMPAEATIVE VALUE OF COTTONSEED MEALS. 



Twenty-one samples of cottonseed meals were analyzed. 

 Table III shows the number of samples analyzed under each per- 

 centage, the price per 100 pounds and the average number of 

 pounds of protein that one dollar will buy in each class. 



TABLE IIL 



THE SLIDING SCALE GUARANTEE. 



The law requires that the manufacturer shall state in his guar- 

 antee the minimum percentage only of protein, of fat and of car- 

 bohydrates, and the maximum percentage only of crude fiber. In 

 violation of the law six brands were found offered for sale under a 

 sliding scale or double guarantee. Three of these feeds, 50 per 

 cent, did not meet even the minimum guarantee in protein. This 

 fact should be sufficient warning to the consumer not to buy the 

 feeds of those manufacturers and dealers who violate this provi- 

 sion of the law. In publishing the guaranteed analysis of such 

 feeding-stuffs in this bulletin the maximum figures only have been 

 used.
