10 N. H. EXPERIMENT STATION [ Bulletin 292 



Notwithstanding the objections which may be 

 raised to the analysis of samples taken without 

 proper sampling equipment, the Station is disposed 

 to continue this work as long as ther-s is evidence 

 that it constitutes a useful service. The samples 

 so submitted should be drawn from at least ten bags 

 in a manner which will insure that the small lot sent 

 for analysis is as accurately representative as pos- 

 sible of the larger lot from which it is taken. Be- 

 cause of the cost of labor and materials, an analysis 

 is not usually warranted on a sample drawn from less 

 than a one ton lot of feed. 



A one pound sample is sufficient for the analysis. 

 It should be sent in a glass jar or tin box to pre- 

 vent the loss of fine particles and a change in the 

 moisture content. In order that the Department may 

 have a satisfactory record of the sample analyzed 

 and may know whether or not the manufacturer and 

 the dealer are complying with the requirements of 

 the law, the following information should be sub- 

 mitted concerning each sample.
