FEEDING STUFF INSPECTION. 185 



would in the future place proper guaranty upon these goods as 

 sold and that, "in our advertising and in our guaranty, place the 

 per cent* of protein and fat even lower than an unevenly mixed 

 sample could possibly show it." For these reasons the case was 

 allowed to rest. 



Premium Calf Meal was first submitted as a manufacturer's 

 sample and then an official sample was taken. As will be noted 

 from the analyses these two samples differ very widely in guar- 

 anty and in composition. 



Union Grains continue to be quite largely used in the State. 

 They are still sold under a guaranty of 24 per cent protein and 

 7 per cent fat; they fall about 2 per cent below their guaranty 

 in protein- and somewhat under in fat. The manufacturers state 

 that other states are finding these goods to be well up to the 

 guaranty but that they would make special tags of 22 per cent 

 protein for goods shipped into the State. Our inspector, how- 

 ever, has failed to find any changed guaranties: 



Molac Molasses Dairy feed. Three samples of these goods 

 were obtained, two of which were found to run well up to the 

 guaranty. One sample, No. 2912 was examined for weed seeds 

 and about 10 per cent of the material consisted of seeds of green 

 foxtail, yellow foxtail, mustard, lady's thumb, pigweed, wild 

 buckwheat, hedge mustard, and samples No. 2892 and 2018 car- 

 ried rather similar percentages of about the same kind of weeds. 

 In one sample pigweed and foxtail germinated at the rate of 

 over 125,000 weed plants per 100 pound bag. '• 



Sucrene Dairy feed. This feeding stuff ran well up to the 

 guaranty in protein and above in fat. This carried about 5 per 

 cent or more of weed seeds, including pigweed, wild buckwheat, 

 green foxtail,, yellow foxtail, hedge mustard, flax, goosefoot, 

 lady's thumb, pale persicaris, dock, mustard, ragweed, field 

 peppergrass and evening primrose. In one sample over 180,000 

 pigweed per 100 pounds germinated.

The market still carries a large number of oat feeds, corn 



chops, corn and oat feeds and similar offals by themselves and 



blended with concentrated feeds. They vary in composition
