Resuets of the Inspections for 1907-8. 

 The last bulletin on feeding stuff inspection was published in 

 April, 1907. During the year, April 1907 to April 1908, 

 upwards of 500 samples of feeding stuffs have been analyzed. 

 About 300 of these were taken by the inspector and rather more 

 than 175 were submitted by dealers and manufacturers, and the 

 remainder came from consumers. It sometimes happened that 

 sufficient data was not obtained to make the analysis valuable 

 for publication, and during the year there have been about 50 

 analyses made that are not reported herewith.
