FEEDING STUFF INSPECTION. 



The changes in the law which became effective July i, 1911, were 

 pointed out in Official. Inspections 32. This was mailed to dealers and 

 others likely to be interested. 



Herewith are reported (pages 26-55) the analyses of samples ex- 

 amined during the year from March 191 1, and (pages 56-72) a classified 

 list of the feeding stuffs registered for sale in Maine before February 

 15, 1912. A few brands have been registered while the number was in 

 the hands of the public printer. 



Especial attention is called to the fact that the law calls for the maxi- 

 mum percentage of fiber" to be stated upon the package, and in the 

 case of compounded feeds the names of the materials of which they are 

 composed. These are important helps in the selection of a feed and 

 should be given careful consideration by dealers and feeders. In the 

 table giving the list of feeding stuffs registered these facts are set forth. 



Copies of the requirements of the law, certifies for registering and 

 directions for sampling can be had on application. All correspondence 

 relative to inspection laws and their enforcement should be addressed 

 to Director Chas. D. Woods, Orono, Maine.
