Feeding Stuff Inspection. 



The law governing the sale and inspection of concentrated 

 feeding stuffs in this state is given on pages 29 — 82 of this bul- 

 letin. Feeding stuffs of the kinds given in section 1 of the 

 law are included under its provisions, viz, oil meals of all 

 kinds, gluten meals and gluten feeds, starch refuse feeds, 

 brewery and distillery refuse feeds, mixed feeds of all kinds, 

 unless they are mixtures of the pure grains, whole or ground 

 together, in which case they are exempt (see sec. 1.) 



All licensed goods must be sold under a guarantee of their 

 contents of protein and fat; if sold in bags, the name of the 

 feed and the number of net pounds thereof in the bag, the 

 name and address of the manufacturer, and the guaranteed 

 percentages of protein and fat must be plainly shown on each 

 bag; if sold in bulk, a printed statement giving similar infor- 

 mation must be furnished with each car or other amount sold, 

 and a certified copy of this statement shall be supplied to the 

 purchaser upon request. 



Registration blanks for licensing brands of concentrated 

 feeding stuffs under our state law will be furnished upon ap- 

 plication ; the annual license fee for each separate brand of 

 feeding stuff is twenty-five dollars. Analysis samples contain- 

 ing about two pounds of each feeding stuff are required, in ac- 

 cordance with sec. 3 of the law. 



Retail dealers should be careful in handling goods that come 

 under the provisions of the law, to see to it that these are li- 

 censed for sale in this state during the present year and that 

 the packages in which they are sold are marked in accordance 

 with the law, as described above. Both dealers and purchasers 

 of feeds can materially aid in the enforcement of the law by 

 giving notice of any violation of the same that may come to 

 their attention.

 the preceding are complete up to the time when this bulletin
