REGISTRATION AND RESULTS OF INSPECTION. 

 Chas. D. Woods. 



The following pages contain the report of the analysis of 

 commercial feeding stuffs made since the publication of Offi- 

 cial Inspections 92. 



In the left hand column of the tables will be found listed 

 the name of each brand of feeding stuff registered in Maine 

 in 1 919 or 1920, the name of the manufacturer, the list of in- 

 gredients, and the guaranteed analysis as given on the certifi- 

 cate of registration filed with the Commissioner of Agriculture. 

 Unregistered brands of which samples have been examined are 

 also included in the list. Unless otherwise stated all of the 

 brands, samples' of which are here reported, were registered in 

 1920. The feeds are grouped into classes and in those classes 

 the names of the manufacturers are arranged alphabetically. 

 In the right hand column the results of the examination of the 

 samples of each brand are discussed. The number of samples 

 examined, how many were in accord with guaranty, how many 

 were not in accord and in what respects, and any other infor- 

 mation that has a bearing on the lawful sale of the goods, are 

 given for each brand. In the discussion, when a sample is spok- 

 en of as "slightly" below (in the case of fiber, above) guaranty, 

 it means that the deviation from guaranty was so small that 

 another sample from the same lot of goods might be found in 

 accord. The significance of a "slight" deviation depends to a 

 considerable extent upon the findings in regard to the other 

 constituents of the same sample and other samples of the same 

 brand. 



Because deficient samples are reported in this bulletin 

 should not be taken to mean that cases have been passed. All 

 discrepancies between guarantees and analyses are reported to 

 the Commissioner of Agriculture for appropriate action; seri- 

 ous discrepancies in goods shipped from other states are re- 

 ported by him to the Federal authorities for action under the 

 United States law. 



Anyone desiring to submit samples for free analysis MUST 

 take those samples in accordance with the directions issued by 

 the Department of Agriculture; copies of these directions may 

 be obtained on application to the Commissioner of Agriculture, 

 Augusta, or to the Director of the Station at Orono.
