Commencing January i, 1914, the Commissioner of Agricul- 

 ture is the executive of the law regulating the sale of concen- 

 trated commercial feeding stuffs in Maine. It is the duty of the 

 Maine Agricultural Experiment Station to make the analyses 

 of the samples collected by the Commissioner, and it is the duty 

 of the Director to publish the results of the analyses of the 

 samples of commercial feeding stuffs, together with the names 

 of the persons from whom the samples were obtained, the 

 names of the manufacturers thereof and such additional infor- 

 mation as may seem advisable. 



In the following pages there are given in tabulated form the 

 results of the analyses of the samples of feeding stuffs on sale 

 within the State from April, 19 13 to April, 19 14. 



The results of the analyses seem to call for no special dis- 

 cussion. Whenever the goods have fallen below the guarantees 

 the cases have been investigated by the executive of the law 

 and whenever the blame was found to exist outside of the 

 State interstate cases have been made under the federal law. 



Note. All corresporLdence relative to the inspection laws should be 

 addressed to the Commissioner of Agriculture, Augusta Maine.
