the varieties are too numerous for a detailed statement, the 

 quantity found is given. 



Included in the list of brands in the tables are all the feeds 

 that have been registered in the State, whether samples of 

 them have been obtained or not. As the feeding season covers 

 parts of two years, both 1914 and 1915 registrations are in- 

 cluded in the list. Most of the feeds listed were registered 

 both years, but some for only one of them. If the list is used 

 as a reference to find whether a given brand is registered, it 

 should not be assumed that the sale of a feed registered only in 

 1914 is now lawful. The list of 1915 registrations includes all 

 brands registered up to July i. 



In some cases where goods have been registered in both 

 1914 and 191 5, the guarantees filed in the registration certifi- 

 cates for the two years differ. Some of these changes are 

 because it has been found that the goods would not run up to 

 the guarantees claimed. On the whole, the guarantees filed 

 for 191 5 are more rational and in keeping with the goods they 

 represent than the 1914 figures. When the guarantees for the 

 two years have differed and all the sam,ples obtained by the 

 inspectors have carried the 191 5 guarantees, the 1914 figures 

 have sometimes been left out of the table to avoid confusion. 

 When no samples were obtained, and in some cases when they 

 were, both sets of figures are given and mention is made of the 

 guarantees carried by the goods sampled. In other cases, when 

 goods with both sets of guarantees were sampled and the dis- 

 cussion seemed likely to be confusing, the certificates as filed 

 for the two years have been treated as representing two sepa- 

 rate brands. 



Several lots of feeds, the labels on which did not agree with 

 the filed certificates of registration, are referred to as "mis- 

 branded." The law explicitly states that a commercial feeding 

 stuff "shall be deemed to be misbranded, if the printed state- 

 ments required by section four to be affixed to the package 

 differ from the statements required by section five," the latter 

 being the section requiring the filing of the registration certifi- 

 cate. The attention of manufacturers filling out certificate 

 blanks is called to this necessity of agreement between the 

 certificate and the labels by the statement in the certificate, — 

 to which they affix their legal signature — "And we do further
