INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FEED-
STUFFS.

BY P. H. SMITH AND ESTHER S. MIXER.

Introduction.

During the past year (September 1, 1918, to September 1, 1919)
1,084 samples of feeding stuffs were collected of dealers and manu-
facturers, all of which were analyzed, and are reported in this bulletin.
One hundred and thirty-six dealers located in 116 towns were visited
at least once. One thousand four hundred and ninety-nine brands of
feeding stuffs were registered for sale in Massachusetts.

There were no prosecutions for violations of the feeding stuffs law,
except such as were referred to the United States Department of Agri-
culture for action. Through their aid one car of cottonseed meal was
seized, and a number of other cases are now in their hands pending
settlement.

National prohibition has affected the feedstuff situation to some
extent, but not so seriously as its opponents would have us believe.
While distillers' and brewers' by-products have been practically out of
the market, the limited output being largely absorbed by manufacturers
of prepared rations, it has been possible for the dairy farmer to secure
other products in sufficient variety to make satisfactory rations and at
a price considerably lower than that asked for proprietary mixtures.

Prices have ruled high for all feeding stuffs, but with a range so
great between different commodities that the feeder has never before
had a better opportunity, through intelligent judgment in their purchase,
to effect large savings in the cost of necessary grain.

REVIEW OF THE ANALYTICAL WORK.

Cottonseed Meal. — Many of the samples of cottonseed meal collected
ran below their minimum guarantee of 36 per cent protein, the average of
the 55 samples reported being 36.6 per cent. Where samples ran sufficiently
low they were referred to the Federal Bureau of Chemistry for action under
the Food and Drugs Act. One car was seized on account of wide divergence
between guarantee and actual content.

Despite the fact that the quality of cottonseed meal found on the Massa-
chusetts markets is gradually decreasing, its use as a source of protein will
probably continue for lack of a satisfactory substitute. Where the demand is
large enough, meal of higher grade can be secured by paying a premium over
the market price for 36 per cent protein meal.

Cottonseed Feed is a mixture of cottonseed meal and cottonseed
hulls. The cottonseed feed usually found contains about 20 per cent protein
and from 20 to 25 per cent fiber. Compared with cottonseed meal it is a
very inferior product. Unscrupulous dealers may readily sell cottonseed
feed in place of cottonseed meal to customers who do not take the trouble
to read the guarantee tag.

Linseed Meal. — The samples of linseed meal collected were all of
good quality. Compared with the grade of cottonseed meal which is being
sold in Massachusetts markets at the present time, linseed meal is to be
preferred when sold at anywhere near the same figure.

Miscellaneous Oil Cake Meals. Com Germ Meal. — Two brands are
reported which were by-products from hominy mills and consisted largely of
the ground corn germ after the oil had been partially extracted. They are
satisfactory feeding stuffs but are not generally sold as such, the usual prac-
tice being to mix the corn germ meal with other corn residues to form hominy
feed, of which the corn germ is a legitimate component.

Cocoanut oil meal approaches gluten feed in feeding value. Trouble is
sometimes experienced with it owing to a tendency to turn rancid when
not kept under satisfactory conditions.

Peanut Oil Cake Feeds. — The Liberty Brand consisted of the residue
resulting from crushing and extracting the oil from the entire nut, including
shell. The presence of the shell gives this product a high fiber content which
renders it less desirable as a feeding stuff.

The Beta Brand is believed to contain a large amount of the peanut skin
which surrounds the nut. On account of its lower fiber content it is to be
preferred to the preceding brand.

21

Neither of these brands, however, are equal in feeding vahie to the meal
derived from the nut alone, which will contain from 40 to 50 per cent protein.

Gluten Meal and Feed. — But one sample of gluten meal was col-
lected and it fully met its guarantee. Several brands of gluten feed did not
maintain their guarantees, which should be lowered to correspond more
closely with the actual composition of the product.

Brewers' Grains. — Dried brewers' grains are occasionally found on the
market in spite of the more limited output compared with past years and the
fact that manufacturers of mixed feeds absorb the greater part of those
manufactured. The samples collected showed a tendency to run somewhat
lower in protein and higher in fiber than those collected in previous years.

Yeast and Vinegar Grains are by-products in the manufacture of
yeast or malt vinegar. They are similar to brewers' grains in appearance
and composition, although their feeding value is somewhat less.

Wheat Products. — Wheat middlings fall into three groups, — red
dog, flour middlings and standard middlings, — depending upon the amount
of flour which they contain. The Bureau of Chemistry of the United States
Department of Agriculture has recently made seizures of finely ground
wheat bran which has been sold as shorts or middlings. It is not believed
that any of the middlings collected in Massachusetts during the past season
were of this character.

Wheat mixed feed is theoretically a mixture of the mill run bran and
middlings obtained in the manufacture of wheat flour. As a matter of fact
wheat mixed feed may be either mill run or a blended mixture of bran and
middlings in varying proportions. The brands showing the largest amount
of middlings are to be preferred.

Wheat Bran. — The samples of wheat bran collected were of the usual
quality. While they varied to some extent in chemical composition, the
chief visible dilTerence, aside from color and degree of fineness, was in the
amount of screenings which they contained. Bran containing no screenings
or only slight traces is to be preferred to that containing larger amounts.

Wheat and Rye Mixtures. — The scarcity of wheat by-products
under war conditions brought into the market a number of brands of feeds
consisting of mixtures of wheat bran or middlings and rye feed or rye mid-
dlings. They are practically equal in feeding value to the products for which
they were intended as substitutes.

Dairy Feeds (more than 15 per cent protein). — These feeds were in-
tended and in most instances can be used satisfactorily as a complete grain
ration for dairy animals. The chief objection to their use is their high cost.

22

At the present time (October, 1919) a satisfactory grain ration can be home-
mixed at from $60 to $70 a ton, while most of the ready mixtures are selling
at better than $80 a ton. While this difference is at least partly justified
by the present high cost of assembling and mixing, it is not economy for the
feeder to use them while such a variation exists.

Molasses Feeds (more than 15 per cent protein). — With the exception
of Cow Chow Dairy Ration, Colonel's Ration and Tioga Horse Feed, the
feeds listed under this heading contained some low-grade by-products which
the molasses assisted in making more palatable.

Hog Feeds. — The number of ready mixtures for hog feeding has in-
creased rapidly during the past few years. As a rule they have nothing to
recommend them above rations that can be mixed from standard products
found in most grain stores. The Grofast Hog Feed contains so much un-
palatable material that it is not readily eaten unless mixed with other grain
before feeding.

Rye Feeds were all of good quality and should form a satisfactory com-
ponent of rations intended for either dairy cattle or swine.

Hominy Feed or Meal. — The amount of hominy feed found is con-
siderably less than formerly, due to the decreased demand for brewers' grits.
The lots sampled were of good quality. Hominy feed is practically equal
to corn meal as a carbohydrate feed.

Stock and Horse Feeds. — The larger part of these feeds contain
oat meal mill by-products (oat hulls, oat middlings and oat shorts) as a base^
together with corn meal, hominy feed and other grains or grain by-products.
In order to obtain some idea of their relative values, they are tabulated in
the following table in accordance with their fiber content. Those which
contain the smallest amount of fiber, particularly if it is derived largely
from the oat hull, are the more digestible.

Molasses Feeds (less than 15 per cent protein). — The following feeds
in this group contained corn or oats or other high-grade feeds together with
aUalfa meal and molasses and were for the most part intended as horse
feeds: Sucrene Horse Feed, Peerless Horse Feed, Oasis Feed, Hamilton
Horse Feed, Alfalfa Oat Feed, Omaha Special Horse Feed, Emerald Horse
Feed, Purina 0-Molene, Colonel's Ration, White's Special Horse Feed.
Green Meadow Feed consisted of alfalfa meal and molasses. The fact should
be borne in mind that alfalfa either in the form of meal or in the bale is
simply an excellent kind of roughage (a hay rich in protein) and does not
compare either in digestibility or net available energy with the cereal grains.
Its use, especially in large amounts in horse feeds where the resulting mix-
ture brings a price equal to the market price for the grain which they con-
tain, is doubtful economy.

Domino Vim-0-Lene contained no alfalfa, but consisted largely of corn,
oats and cane molasses. Xtra-Vim Feed was a mixture of cane molasses
and sphagnum moss. The feeding value of this mixture lies in the molas-
ses which it contains, the sphagnum moss simply acting as an absorbent
for the molasses.

24

The remainder of the feeds in this group, namely, Amco Fat Maker,
Tip Top Sugared Feed, Cloverleaf Dairy Feed, Alfalfa Molasses Union
Horse Feed, Anchor Dairy Feed, Climax Dairy Feed, Crescent Horse Feed,
Good Luck Feed and Green Cross Horse Feed, all contained one or more
of the following low-grade ingredients: oat hulls, clipped oat by-product
or grain screenings.

Oat Feed is a by-product from the milling of oats, and consists of the
oat hulls, dust and fine particles of the oat groat which are broken off in
the milling process. Oat feed contains from 4 to 6 per cent of protein and
from 24 to 30 per cent fiber. It is not, except under abnormal trade con-
ditions, found very generally distributed in the local markets, but is largely
absorbed as a filler in various stock and horse feeds.

Poultry Mashes and Meals were found in wide variety. While most
of these mixtures will prove satisfactory for the purpose intended, the best
argument for their use is convenience. Fully as satisfactory rations can
be home-mixed, with the additional advantage that the percentage and
quality of each ingredient is known. ^ It is believed that the value of the
alfalfa meal found in many of these mixtures has been greatly overestimated,
and that the poultry men are prone to confuse the green color of the alfalfa
with succulence which can be better furnished by green crops in season and
by roots, cabbage and sprouted oats during the winter.

Animal Products. Meat and Meat and Bone. — With but three ex-
ceptions these products are classified as meat and bone in accordance with
definitions adopted by the Association of Feed Control Officials. Poultry
men should be willing to pay a premium for scraps which contain a minimum
amount of bone and which are free from odors of decomposition. Some of
the samples collected ran considerably below their protein guarantees.

> Formulas for mixing the most desirable scratch grains and mashes can be secured by addressing the De-
partment of Poultry Husbandry, Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, Mass.

1 Analyses made by Messrs. Haskins and Walker, fertilizer section.

26

The preceding table gives the nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash and
lime content of some of the feeding stuffs found on the Massachusetts market.

In mature animals, with the exception of milch cows, practically all of
the nitrogen, phosphoric acid, lime and potash consumed in the feed are
voided in the excreta. With milch cows a small part is retained in the milk.
For this reason any scheme for successful dairy farming should take inta
consideration the manurial value of the feeds used and should use, in so far
as consistent with careful feeding, those feeds which have the greatest fer-
tilizer value. Such a practice would cut the use of commercial fertilizers
to a minimum and they need be used only to supplement farm manures
occasionally.

Manure is so valuable that both liquid and solid should be carefully
preserved and should not be allowed to waste through leaching, which will
happen if it is piled under the eaves of buildings or kept in an uncemented
cellar or pit.

WHAT KINDS OF GRAIN SHALL I PURCHASE ?

BY J. B. LINDSEY.

This question is foremost in the mind of almost every dairyman, espe-
cially in these times of high prices.

You are frequently advised to produce more corn on your own farm, and
likewise to grow clover, alfalfa and perhaps soy beans. This is good advice.
Corn is king and when properly combined with other grains I know of no better
milk producer. You certainly can grow it cheaper than you can buy it.

Alfalfa and clover are about as digestible as a good quality of hay, but
they furnish more protein and act very favorably on the milk flow.

After you have grown these crops, you will still find it necessary to pur-
chase considerable grain for the dairy herd under the conditions prevailing
in New England.

I cannot put in print just what would be the most economical kinds to
buy, because of constant variations in market prices. I can, however, make
some suggestions as to the most suitable combinations, and if you wish to
"count the cost" you will keep in touch with the market and combine the
different articles in some such manner as the following: —

Wheat bran or rye feed,
Gluten feed,
Ground oats,

' Oat feed or the complete residue from the oatmeal mills is worth as much as a good quality of hay. Do not
pay ground oats or corn meal prices for it.

28

Of the above, I should purchase the grains that can be had for the least
money. Those formulas containing the most cottonseed or linseed meals
are likely to prove a little more stimulating to production, but all of them
ought to produce good results.

How about Ready Mixed Rations ? — There are many such rations
now on the market that are of good quality. They contain from 20 to 26
per cent of protein and have a total digestibility of 70 per cent or more.
A year ago, for certain reasons, these mixtures could be bought as cheap
as the farmer could mix his own, or even cheaper. At this writing, however,
the conditions appear to be reversed. It is wp to you, Mr. Dairyman, to
see if you cannot mix your rations, — using the suggestions contained in
the above formulas, — and save money. If you do not try, you are the
loser. You cannot expect the public to pay for poor financial management.

It is not good economy, as a rule, to feed over 1 pound of grain for each
3 pounds of milk produced. There may be exceptions to this rule, and the
judgment of the observing feeder should always supplement the best of
rules.

29
LOW-GRADE FEEDS.

BY J. B. LINDSEY.

The question is frequently asked why the station does not prohibit the
sale of low-grade feeding materials. The feeding stuffs law says that "No
commercial feeding stuff or cattle feed or brand thereof that has been mixed
or adulterated with any substance or substances injurious to the health of
live stock or poultry shall be sold or offered or exposed or kept for sale or
distributed in this Commonwealth." Rarely is any material offered which
is actually injurious to the health of animals. Many feeds are placed upon
the market which have a low or inferior feeding value, and the best we can
do is to call attention to this fact in our inspection bulletins. It is doubtful
if it would be constitutional to make a law which would actually prohibit the
sale of material which possessed some feeding value. Thus far it has seemed
wise to require that each feeding stuff be accompanied by an analysis of
composition and, in case of mixtures, to require in addition a statement of
the specific name of each ingredient they contain. These requirements are
already incorporated in our Massachusetts law. An additional clause might
be added that the sale of materials without substantial feeding value should
be prohibited, specifying perhaps the name of each objectionable article,
such as coffee hulls, rice hulls, ground cotton screenings and the like. It is
diflficult, however, to draw the line between "some feeding value" and "with-
out substantial feeding value" to cover all cases likely to be encountered.
A relentless publicity has been found to be very helpful in keeping out most
inferior materials. If the purchaser keeps informed and asks for information
when in doubt, he is not likely to be deceived.

CONTROL SERIES BULLETIN No. 12 OCTOBER, 1919

MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS

By H. D. Haskins, L. S. Walker and J. B. Smith

This bulletin gives a report in detail of the fertilizer inspection
for 1919. Among the more important subjects or headings are the
following: alphabetically arranged list of manufacturers and
brands; list of fertilizers registered and analyzed; fertilizer
sampling discussed; statement of fertilizer tonnage sold; dis-
cussion of fertilizer valuations; table of fertilizer trade values;
composition, cost and valuation of crude stock materials, includ-
ing a statement of commercial deficiencies.

The composition, cost, valuation and deficiencies in mixed
complete fertilizers and ammoniated superphosphates are shown,
followed by a list of brands having a commercial shortage of over
$1 per ton. The quality of the plant food in mixed fertilizers is
discussed, and attention is called to those brands containing
inferior forms of organic nitrogen. Data are also presented rela-
tive to the composition and cost of lime compounds used for
agricultural purposes. The text is followed by forty-eight pages
of tables of analyses, giving in detail the composition, as found
and guaranteed, together with the commercial valuation of each
brand collected.

Requests for bulletins should be addressed to the

COLLECTION OF SAMPLES.

The collection of fertilizer samples has been in charge of the regular
inspector, Mr. James T, Howard, assisted by Messrs. William L. Dowd,
Philip A. Macy and Donald C. Thompson. The collection outside of the
Connecticut valley and territory near the Experiment Station was done by
Messrs. Howard and Dowd, while Mr, Mac3% during the early part of the
season, looked after the collection in the local districts. After April 10
Mr. Donald C. Thompson succeeded Mr. Macy, who resigned to accept a
more lucrative position.

It is increasingly difficult each year to secure an adequate collection of
fertilizers. This is due to several causes. A larger number of agencies are
placed each year among the farmers in the more remote country districts
where travel is slow and expensive. The high cost of fertilizers has, we
believe, very much reduced the consumption of fertilizers in many districts
in the State and has resulted in the agents' ordering in small quantities from
time to time with the object of avoiding carrying over a surplus and the
chances of lower prices for the following year. Small stocks are quickly
exhausted, and many times the collector finds an empty warehouse, or only
a few bags of the previous year's goods on hand. To illustrate, during the
season 194 agents were visited who reported that they were out of stock, or
had ceased to act in the capacity of agent since the previous year.

The serious curtailing of steam trains and trolleys, as well as the elimina-
tion altogether of the latter in some localities, coupled with the increased
cost of travel by both, indicates that a change in our method of collection
will be desirable before another season. It is believed that either the em-
ployment of more men during the months of April and May or the constant
use of an automobile during the collection season is necessary for an adequate
inspection.

The sampling and analyzing of carloads of ashes, cottonseed meal, rape-
seed meal, castor pomace and fertilizer materials for home mixing have
received the same attention as in previous years, most of this work being
done during the late fall and winter.

The following statistics have been gathered in regard to the 1919 collec-
tion: 14,889 sacks were sampled, representing 7,237 tons of fertilizer; 153
towns were visited; 1,029 samples, representing 418 distinct brands, were
drawn from stock found in the possession of 369 different agents or owners.

11

FERTILIZERS ANALYZED.

FERTILIZER TONNAGE.

In accordance with chapter 220, General Acts of 1918, a declaration of the
tonnage of fertilizers sold in Massachusetts has been made. From these
data we find that from July 1, 1918, to July 1, 1919, this amounted to a total
of 54,878 tons, divided as follows: mixed fertilizers, 42,689 tons; unmixed
materials, 12,189 tons. This is about one-half of the estimate made by
representatives of the fertilizer industry in the spring of 1918 when the new
fertilizer law was formulated and enacted. It is the expressed belief of some
of the larger distributors that the tonnage of fertilizer sold in Massachusetts
during the past season has not been up to normal. We fancy that this may
be true, as our inspectors reported in many instances but small stocks of
fertilizer on hand among the agents; and the opinion of many agents, par-
ticularly in some of the eastern sections of the State, was that a minimum
amount of fertilizer was being used, due to the high prices which have pre-
vailed.

FERTILIZER VALUATIONS.

That the fertilizer market has not reached a normal or settled equilibrium
will be seen from the following wide variations in quotations as taken from
the trade journals for the six months preceding March 1. In spite of the
unsettled market, it was thought best to establish a table of trade values and
compute valuations as provided by law, as the figures will at least allow a
comparison of the commercial values of fertilizers of similar composition.

tables of analyses. As a general rule, they represent the average wholesale
quotations for cash as given in the trade journals for the six months pre-
ceding March 1 of unmixed standard raw materials, plus 20 per cent.

GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING REGISTERED RAW
PRODUCTS AND CHEMICALS.
Ground Bone. — Thirty-eight samples have been inspected during the
season, necessitating 24 analyses. They have tested on an average 3.28 per
cent of nitrogen and 23.28 per cent of phosphoric acid. The average retail
cash price per ton has been $57.61, and the average commercial valuation,
159.50. None of the brands has shown a commercial shortage.

13

Ground Tankage. — Seventeen samples of tankage have been inspected,
necessitating 17 analyses. Eight deficiencies were found in nitrogen, and
four brands showed deficiency in phosphoric acid. The average total nitro-
gen found was 7.20 per cent; the average phosphoric acid found was 10.23
per cent. The average retail cash price has been $76.2.3 per ton, and the
average commercial valuation, $74.73. Assuming that a pound of phos-
phoric acid in tankage is worth 6^ cents, the cost of a pound of nitrogen from
this source would have been 43.7 cents. The following brands have shown a
commercial shortage of $1 or over per ton, values of overruns on one element
being used in all cases to offset shortages in the other : —

A. W. Higgins, Westfield, Mass. — High Grade Tankage, Nos. 77, 173,
195 and 464: average nitrogen found, 8.47 per cent, guaranteed, 9 per cent;
average phosphoric acid found, 7.95 per cent, guaranteed, 7 per cent.

Three other samples of this brand did not show a commercial shortage.
Mr. Higgins informs us that all of this tankage was bought on the unit basis
of nitrogen. Deficiencies were made good by rebates in all cases.

Nitrate Agencies Co. — High Grade Ground Tankage, No. 749: nitrogen
found, 7.83 per cent, guaranteed, 8.20 per cent; phosphoric acid found, 3.83
per cent, guaranteed 4.50 per cent. A proper rebate was allowed for these
deficiencies.

Dry Ground Fish. — Thirty samples of fish were inspected, necessitating
21 analyses. Eleven samples were found deficient in nitrogen, and two in
phosphoric acid. The average retail cash price has been $100.85 per ton,
and the average commercial valuation, $93.93. The average total nitrogen
found was 7.92 per cent, the average phosphoric acid was 11.69 per cent.
Allowing 7 cents as the value of a pound of phosphoric acid, the nitrogen in
dry ground fish would have cost on the average 53.3 cents per pound. The
following brands showed a commercial shortage of over $1 per ton, values of
overruns on one element being used in all cases to offset shortages in the
other : —

A. W. Higgins, Westfield, Mass. — Dry Ground Fish, Nos. 2, 8, 9, 89 and
117: average nitrogen found, 7.09 per cent, guaranteed, 8.23 per cent; aver-
age phosphoric acid found, 16.61 per cent, guaranteed, 13 per cent.

Deficiencies in all of the above cases have been made good by proper
rebates by Mr. Higgins. Six other samples of this brand were found well
up to the minimum guarantee.

F. S. Royster Guano Co. — Royster's Dry Ground Fish, No. 211: nitrogen
found, 7.49 per cent, guaranteed, 8.28 per cent; phosphoric acid found, 8.24
per cent, guaranteed, 5 per cent.

14

Chester Warner & Sons, Sunderland, Mass. — Dry Ground Fish, No, 82:
nitrogen found, 7.69 per cent, guaranteed, 8.64 per cent; phosphoric acid
found, 7.74 per cent, guaranteed, 7.22 per cent. The information was fur-
nished by Mr. Warner with reference to this material that none of it was
sold to the trade, all of it being used on his own farm.

Castor Pomace. — Four samples were analyzed and all were found well
up to the guarantee. The average retail cash price for castor pomace has
been $57 per ton, and the average commercial valuation, $55.47. The
product has tested on the average 5.55 per cent of nitrogen, making the
pound cost of nitrogen in this substance 51.3 cents.

Cottonseed Meal. — Sixty samples of cottonseed meal have been an-
alyzed, each sample representing a carload. The average ton cost has been
$63.39, and the average commercial valuation, $59.44, no allowance being
made for the valuation of the potash and phosphoric acid which the average
cottonseed meal carries. Cottonseed meal has tested on the average 5.94
per cent of nitrogen, making the pound cost of this element 53.3 cents. The
analysis of a composite sample made up of all of the cars sold for fertilizer
shows the presence of 1.81 per cent of potash and 2.37 per cent of phosphoric
acid. The average value of these two ingredients, therefore, in a ton of
cottonseed meal would be about $11 to $12. The following brands have
shown a commercial shortage of over $1 per ton. In figuring these com-
mercial shortages the value of the phosphoric acid and potash has not been
used to offset shortages. It may be said that in all instances proper rebates
have been allowed for nitrogen shortages, and the station has been asked in
most instances to figure these rebates.

Berkshire Fertilizer Co. — Ground West Indian Cottonseed Meal, No. 806 :
nitrogen found, 3.82 per cent, guaranteed, 4.10 per cent.

F. W. Erode & Co. — Owl Brand Cottonseed Meal, No. 22: nitrogen found,
6.21 per cent, guaranteed, 6.56 per cent.

A. W. Higgins. — Cottonseed Meal, No. 53: nitrogen found, 5.54 per
cent, guaranteed, 5.76 per cent. No. 48: nitrogen found, 5.52 per cent,

nitrogen found, 5.65 per cent, guaranteed, 5.76 per cent. No. 672: nitrogen
found, 5.45 per cent, guaranteed, 5.76 per cent.

Rapeseed Meal. — Seven carloads have been examined. They showed
an average of 5.08 per cent of nitrogen. The average ton cost was $67, with
a commercial valuation of $51.98. All of this product was sold on the unit
basis, but with a minimum guarantee. The average cost of nitrogen from
this source has been 65.9 cents. Rapeseed meal tests on the average about
2.02 per cent of phosphoric acid and .97 per cent of potash. These elements
have not been taken into account in computing the commercial value of the
product as they were not guaranteed, the product being bought primarily
as a nitrogen source for tobacco. Five carloads showed a commercial short-
age of over $1 per ton. Shortages, however, were made good in all cases.
When any product is sold on the unit basis the purchaser simply pays for
what plant food is found to be present upon analysis of the shipment.

Nitrate of Soda. — Seventeen samples have been examined, necessitating
12 analyses. The average nitrogen content found was 15.27 per cent. The
average cost of nitrate of soda has been $100.92, making the pound cost of
nitrogen 33 cents. The average commercial valuation per ton has been
$97.75. No deficiencies were noted.

Sulfate of Ammonia. — One sample has been analyzed. It tested 21.90
per cent of nitrogen. The sample was well up to the minimum guarantee.
The ton commercial valuation was $131.40.

Calcium. Cyanamid. — Two samples of this product have been inspected.
The average total nitrogen found was 21.10 per cent. The average ton cost
was $112.30, with a commercial valuation of $105.50. The pound cost of
nitrogen was 26.6 cents. No deficiencies were noted.

Nitrapo. — Two samples of this product were analyzed and gave the fol-
lowing results: nitrogen, 14.39 per cent; potash, 19.39 per cent. The com-
mercial valuation of this product was $208.11 per ton. Both of the samples
were well up to the minimum guarantee.

Wood Ashes. — Thirty-nine carloads of ashes were analyzed during the
season, representing four brands. The average of these analyses is as
follows : —

Per Cent.

Moisture, 14.00

Water soluble potash, 4.41

Total or acid soluble potash, 5 . 66

Phosphoric acid, 1 . 68

Calcium oxide, ; .31.82

16

The average ton cost of wood ashes has been $28.66, and the average com-
mercial valuation, $35.08.

The average analysis stated above shows that about 78 per cent of the
total potash was soluble in water, as against 76.8 per cent the previous year.
Although the greater part of the wood ashes consumed in Massachusetts has
been sold on the unit basis of $5 to $5.50 per unit of total potash, yet a good
many carloads have been sold at a flat price of $21 to $21.50 per ton. Almost
without exception the ashes that were sold on the unit basis have proved to
be the better grade of ashes. In other words, the shipper apparently has
some means of determining the quality of ashes which are to be shipped,
and naturally sends a better grade of ashes to the party who purchases on
the unit basis for the reason that if the ashes run high in potash he gets pro-
portionately more for the goods than if they were sold at a flat price on a
minimum guarantee of 2 per cent of actual potash. The actual cost of
potash from ashes during the season has been about 27.5 cents per pound.
Only one carload showed a commercial shortage. This was a sample of
Joynt's ashes carried over from the previous year, represented by sample
No. 359. Ashes vary decidedly in composition, and it is not an easy matter
to forecast what they will test in potash. During the season of 1918 a good
many shortages occurred in the ashes sold in ^Massachusetts. During the
present season the principal shipper of wood ashes, Mr. Joynt, has registered
a product with a minimum guarantee of 2 per cent actual water soluble pot-
ash. During the past season the minimum guarantee was 3 per cent. The
lowering of the minimum guarantee of potash has prevented the usual defi-
ciencies from occurring.

Acid Phosphate. — Forty-nine samples of acid phosphate have been
examined, necessitating 27 analyses. The average percentage of available
phosphoric acid found was 17.06. Acid phosphate has cost on the average
$33.08 per ton, making the pound cost of available phosphoric acid from this
source 9.7 cents. The average commercial valuation of acid phosphate has
been $30.40 per ton. No commercial shortages were noted.

Basic Lime Phosphate. — One sample of this material was analyzed and
found well up to the minimum guarantee. It cost $34.50 per ton, and had
a commercial value of $34.80. The pound cost of phosphoric acid from this
source was 10 cents.

Precipitated Bone. — Three samples, sold by Messrs. Olds & Whipple,
have been analyzed. The average total phosphoric acid found was 29.04
per cent, and the average available phosphoric acid found was 22.37 per cent,

17

ojiiaranteed 32.06 and 33 per cent.^ The average commercial valuation per
ton has been $39.73. The average cost has been $39.15, making a pound of
available phosphoric acid cost 7.8 cents. It might be said in this connection
that this product was sold on the unit basis of available phosphoric acid at a cost
of $1.75. Rebates for shortages are, therefore, settled for on the same basis,

Florida Soft Phosphate (Phoslime) . — This material has been dis-
tributed largely by the Florida Soft Phosphate and Lime Company of Ocala,
Fla. Three samples were analyzed and showed the presence of 21.27 per
cent of total phosphoric acid, 22 per cent being guaranteed. The average
cost of this material has been $30 per ton, the average commercial valuation,
$12.77. The cost of a pound of phosphoric acid from this source has been
about 7 cents. Two of the samples showed a rather serious commercial
shortage. No. 928 testing 19.57 per cent and Xo. 937 testing 20.03 per cent of
total phosphoric acid.

Apatite and Sulfide of Barium, Grade B (Barium-Phosphate). —
Five samples have been analyzed and found to contain 16.61 per cent of total
phosphoric acid. This product has cost on the average $22.30 per ton, and
has an average commercial valuation of $9.97. The cost of a pound of
phosphoric acid from this source has been 6.7 cents. Many inquiries are
being constantly received with reference to the purchase and use of this
material as a source of phosphoric acid. A small circular was published on
this subject in the spring of 1919, called " The Value of Apatite and Barium
Sulfide (Barium-Phosphate)." The conclusions drawn in this circular, based
upon experiments both in pots in the greenhouse and in the field, were to the
effect that this material could not be recommended as a source of phosphoric
acid for quick-growing crops in place of the soluble phosphates. Experi-
ments with this material have been continued during the present year, prin-
cipally on land not heretofore used for experimental purposes. As might be
expected, the first year's results do not give conclusive evidence with refer-
ence to the fitness or the unfitness of the material as a source of phosphoric
acid. It is planned to continue the experiments with various crops for a
number of years until some definite conclusions may be reached. It seems
to be a very well-established fact that some of the raw mineral phosphates
give fairly satisfactory results when used on corn and grass crops, also on
green crops on land containing considerable organic matter. This may
hold true with this fine ground apatite. The fact, however, has yet to be
proved.

' The product was guaranteed 32.06 and 33 per cent for the reason that this was the analysis under which it
was bought from the American Glue Company by Messrs. Olds & Whipple.

PRODUCTS SOLD LARGELY FOR THEIR POTASH CONTENT.

From the tables of analyses it is apparent that potash has been used some-
what more freely during the past season than for two or three years preced-
ing. Statistics show that the production of potash compounds in this
country has been on the increase and has reached the proportion where
about one-fifth of the normal potash supply has been taken care of by Ameri-
can producers. During the season two potash salts have been offered un-
mixed to the Massachusetts consumer. One is called 40 per cent potash,
evidently an American product. It contained 38.64 per cent of water solu-
ble potash and was guaranteed 40 per cent. It showed a commercial valua-
tion of $228.12 per ton. Another American potash product has also been
offered, testing 20.44 per cent of water soluble potash, with a guarantee of
20 per cent. This product valued commercially $122.64 per ton. It con-
tained approximately 5.71 per cent of potash in form of chlorides and about
15 per cent in form of sulfates. It also contained about 4 per cent of sodium
sulfate and 50.5 per cent of sodium carbonate. It showed a decided alkaline
reaction.

Magic Brand Manure Ash Potash. — This product is evidently the
residue obtained by burning refuse manure products from the stock yards
at Chicago. It contained 3.88 per cent of water soluble potash, guaranteed
5 per cent. It also contained considerable potash not soluble in water, as
it tested 5.70 per cent of acid soluble potash; 2.53 per cent of total phosphoric
acid was also present. The product sold for $60 per ton, and had a com-
mercial valuation of $26.32. A pound of total potash from this source,
therefore, has cost about 50 cents.

Flue Dust. — A sample of flue dust tested 8.17 per cent water soluble
potash, and was guaranteed 8 per cent. It also contained 11.63 per cent of
acid soluble potash. It showed the presence of .28 per cent of phosphoric
acid and 4.92 per cent of total lime. The material cost $44.84 per ton, and
had a commercial valuation of $59.28 per ton. It has been sold largely on
the unit basis of $5.55 per unit of water soluble potash.

As this bulletin goes to print, reports reach us that potash shipments are
being received both from French and German sources, and as time goes on
probably these shipments will be more frequent, resulting in a larger use of
this ingredient during the coming season.

WITH REFERENCE TO NATURE'S PLANT FOOD.

It seems desirable that another short (and we hope final) chapter be written
with reference to this ground metamorphic rock. In January, 1919, the
Secretary of Agriculture at Washington made a final ruling with reference to
the sale of this product, which was in form of an order addressed to the
Nature's Fertilizer Company and to the effect " that the said company desist
and refrain from selling or offering for sale within the United States the article
known as Nature's Fertilizer or Nature's Plant Food and Soil Rectifier under
any form of representation, direct or indirect, that it has a distinct value as
a fertilizer, or is equal or superior to the usual and well-recognized kinds of
commercial fertilizer, and particularly under such representations as are con-
tained in the pamphlets entitled: 'The New Farmer' (copyright 1918,
Nature's Fertilizer Company) ; ' Nature's Mineral Plant Food and Soil Recti-
fier ' (copyright by Ernie Grummer, Agent, March, 1917); ' Plant Food and
Soil Rectifier ' (copyright by W. M. McCrillis, 1915) ; and ' The New Mineral
Plant Food ' (copyright 1911)."

The above order was effective in stopping the sales of the ground meta-
morphic rock as a fertilizer. Subsequently, however, the fertilizer company
made application and secured a registration for a product called Nature's
Fertilizer. The basis of this product was made up of the ground rock, but
nitrate of soda, potash salt, and soft Florida phosphate had been mixed with
it so as to furnish a minimum of 1 per cent of nitrogen, 1 per cent of water
soluble potash and 3 per cent of total phosphoric acid. Representative
samples of this product were collected and analyzed and will be found in the
tables of analyses. Another brand was later registered by this company,
called Nature's Fertilizer No. 2, which was guaranteed one-half of 1 per
cent of nitrogen, one-half per cent of water soluble potash, 1 per cent of total
phosphoric acid, 5 per cent of lime and 5 per cent of magnesium. Samples
of this brand were not secured and, so far as we know, none was sold.
Although these two brands of fertilizer may be legally sold, as they possess a
minimum guarantee of available plant food as provided by law, yet it Avill be
readily seen that the low analysis must make the small amount of available
plant food present in a ton of the mixtures very expensive, as the ton price
of the No. 1 brand was about $75.

Life Rock Company. — During the spring of 1919 Mr. Frank P. Fogg,
represented as president of the Life Rock Company, 44 Bromfield Street,
Boston, Mass., made sales of a material which he advertised as Life Rock.

20

A sample was secured, analyzed and found to be Nature's Plant Food, a
product formerly manufactured and sold by the New Mineral Fertilizer Com-
pany and the Nature's Plant Food Company. The product had been sold
by the Life Rock Company without registration. Court proceedings were
instituted against Mr. Fogg, which resulted in a conviction and fine. No
further activities were noted in the sales of the product.

A study of the above table and the detailed table of analyses of the regis-
tered complete fertilizers shows that out of a total of 119 brands analyzed,
64 (54 per cent of the total number) fell below the minimum guarantee in one
or more elements. The deficiencies were as follows: —

Brands deficient in one element, 53

Brands deficient in two elements, 11

Brands deficient in three elements, . ^ -

22

Thirteen brands (11 per cent of the total number) showed a commercial
shortage. The deficiencies in the several ingredients were as follows: —

Brands deficient in nitrogen, 16

Brands deficient in potash, 47

Brands deficient in available phosphoric acid, 12

The summary of commercial shortages in the year's inspection, as compared
with 1918, is given in the following table: —

Number or Brands.

The following brands have shown a commercial shortage of $1 or over per
ton, values of overruns being used in all cases to reduce the shortages : —

Alphano Humus Co. — Prepared Alphano Humus, No. 955: nitrogen
found, 1.63 per cent, guaranteed, 1.25 per cent; total phosphoric acid found,
.59 per cent, guaranteed, .50 per cent; potassium oxide found, .04 per cent,
guaranteed, .50 per cent. Upon the receipt of the advanced report of this
analysis, the company requested that other samples be drawn and tested for
potash as they felt confident that the average of this brand shipped into the
State contained the minimum potash guaranteed. Two other samples were
therefore secured and both showed serious deficiencies in potash, one testing
.07 per cent and the other .08 per cent of actual potash. The explanation
given by the company with reference to the shortage in potash shown in all
of these samples was that the wood ashes which they were obliged to purchase
and use as their potash source must have been leached. They furnished the
information that hereafter nothing but potash salts would be used in furnish-
ing the potash supplied in their material.

From this summary and from the table of analyses it is shown that out of
a total of 159 registered brands of ammoniated superphosphates analyzed, 34
(21 per cent of the total number) fell below the minimum guarantee in one
element; none of the brands were deficient in both elements. Twenty-one
brands were found deficient in nitrogen, and 12 in phosphoric acid. Only
3 brands showed a serious commercial shortage. This is a much better show-
ing than during the preceding year, when 14 brands showed a shortage between
50 cents and $3 per ton.

The brands of ammoniated superphosphates showing commercial shortages
of over $1 per ton during the season are as follows, overruns being used in all
cases to offset shortages : —

Bowker Fertilizer Co. — Bowker's Stockbridge 5-8 General Crop, No. 772 :
nitrogen found, 3.50 per cent, guaranteed, 4.11 per cent; available phosphoric
acid found, 9.50 per cent, guaranteed, 8 per cent. It appears that this brand
was stock carried over from the previous season. The inspector, however,
reported that the storage conditions were satisfactory, and apparently the
material had not suffered by being unduly exposed to weather conditions.

International Agricultural Corporation, Buffalo Fertilizer Works Branch. —
Buffalo Top Dresser, Nos. 90, 104, HI, 116, 594: nitrogen found, 5.50 per
cent, guaranteed, 5.80 per cent; available phosphoric acid found, 5.71 per
cent, guaranteed, 6 per cent. Another sample of this brand also showed a
commercial shortage, as will be seen by the following results: sample No.
867: nitrogen found, 4.90 per cent, guaranteed, 5.80 per cent; available
phosphoric acid found, 6.94 per cent, guaranteed, 6 per cent.

New England Fertilizer Co. — New England Potato, Corn and Vegetable
Fertilizer, No. 930: nitrogen found, 3.82 per cent, guaranteed, 4.11 per cent;
available phosphoric acid found, 8.08 per cent, guaranteed, 8 per cent.

QUALITY OF PLANT FOOD IN MIXED FERTILIZERS.

Nitrogen in Complete Fertilizers. — A study of the nitrogen used in
the mixed complete fertilizers for 1919 shows that the average total nitrogen
found was 2.65 per cent, made up of nitrates and ammoniates, 1.35 per cent,
and organic nitrogen, 1.30 per cent. According to these figures, 50.9 per cent
of the total nitrogen was found present in the form of nitrates and ammoni-
ates and 49.1 per cent in organic form. The quality of the organic nitrogen
used in these mixtures is indicated by the following averages: water soluble
organic, .28 per cent; water insoluble organic, 1.02 per cent, of which .58 per
cent was found active and .44 per cent inactive by the laboratory methods.

26

The average total nitrogen in the complete fertilizers had a percentage activity
of 83.40 per cent, the total organic nitrogen of 66.2 per cent, and the water
insoluble organic nitrogen of 56.9 per cent.

Nitrogen in Ammoniated Superphosphates. — The quality of the
nitrogen used in these mixtures is shown by the following data: average
total nitrogen found, 3.50 per cent, nitrogen in form of nitrates and am-
moniates, 1.56 per cent, organic nitrogen, 1.94 per cent. It will be seen from
these figures that about 44.6 per cent of the total nitrogen was present in
mineral forms and 55.4 per cent in organic forms. About .71 per cent of the
organic nitrogen used was found soluble in water, and 1.23 per cent insoluble.
Of this latter, ,70 per cent was found active, and .53 per cent inactive by
laboratory methods. The percentage activity of the total nitrogen was
about 84.8 per cent, of the total organic nitrogen, 72.7 per cent, and of the
water insoluble organic nitrogen, 56.9 per cent.

Brands of Mixed Fertilizer showing Inferior Forms of Nitrogen. —
One out of a total of 119 brands of complete fertilizers, and 5 out of a total
of 159 brands of ammoniated superphosphates, besides 1 brand of a peat
mixture and 9 brands of pulverized sheep manure, were found to contain
organic nitrogen, the water insoluble portion of which showed a low avail-
ability by the laboratory methods. Although this is a much better showing
than during the preceding year, yet it may be said that a very large number
of brands of mixed fertilizer hover around the danger mark. About 40 per
cent of the brands of both complete fertilizers and the ammoniated super-
phosphates shows an activity of the water insoluble organic nitrogen between
50 and 53 per cent by the alkaline permanganate method.

The following table shows the brands of mixed commercial fertilizer show-
ing inferior forms of organic nitrogen. Some other brands showed the pres-
ence of inferior organic nitrogen but were passed without question, and are
not mentioned in the table on account of the minimum percentage of nitro-
gen guaranteed being more than made up by the active forms of nitrogen
present.

Phosphoric Acid in Mixed Fertilizers. — Of the total phosphoric acid
found in the complete mixed fertilizers, 85.5 per cent was present in available
form, and 66.4 per cent of the available phosphoric acid was in water soluble
form. In case of the ammoniated superphosphates, 87.9 per cent of the total
phosphoric acid was in available form, and 61.2 per cent of the available
phosphoric acid was in water soluble form. These figures indicate that a
somewhat higher proportion of acid was used in the manufacture of the
superphosphates which entered into the mixture than during the previous
year. This resulted in a higher availability of the phosphoric acid present.

Potash in Complete Fertilizers. — The average complete fertilizer con-
tained 1.88 per cent of water soluble potash. As a whole, potash was used
somewhat more freely in the mixtures than during the previous year. Sixty-
seven brands had but 1 per cent of potash guaranteed, 20 had 2 per cent, 10
had 3 per cent, and 13 had a minimum of 4 per cent guaranteed. Out of a
total of 119 brands analyzed, 47, or 39.5 per cent of the total number, failed
to m^eet the minimum potash guarantee. There is evidence that most of the
potash supplied in mixed fertilizers was from American produced potash
salts, as most mixtures contained both soluble chlorides and sulfates in about
the same proportion as during the previous year. As a whole, there was not
a sufficient amount of chlorine present to prove harmful even to fertilizers
manufactured for tobacco. The large number of potash deficiencies is un-
fortunate and indicates that the manufacturer failed in most instances to
make a sufficient allowance for variation in the composition of the products.

28

With potash salts now selling at from $2.25 to $2.50 per unit, compared with
$6 per unit during the past season, it is hoped that during 1920 the manu-
facturers may allow for a somewhat larger margin of overrun on this element
and thus reduce the large number of deficiencies which have prevailed during
the past few years, and which were probably due in a measure to the scarcity
and high prices of potash salts.

LIME COMPOUNDS.

Thirty-six samples of lime products have been examined. Twenty-eight
analyses have been made, representing 26 distinct brands. The guarantees
of all of the lime products have been maintained, as a general rule, in a satis-
factory manner. The hydrated or slaked limes showed an average of 66.8
per cent of calcium oxide and 4.64 per cent of magnesium oxide; lime ashes,
an average of 40.11 per cent of calcium oxide and 2.91 per cent of magnesium
oxide. Only small amounts of potash (.16 per cent) and phosphoric acid
(.24 per cent) were present, which serves to emphasize the fact that this
product should be purchased on the same basis as all lime products, — content
and cost of calcium and magnesium oxides. Fine ground limestone has tested
on the average 43.67 per cent of calcium oxide and 5.65 per cent of magnesium
oxide.

There exists a considerably wide variation in the cost of a hundred pounds
of calcium and magnesium oxides from the various forms of lime. Among
the hydrated or slaked limes the lowest was 43 cents and the highest was
$1.11; with lime ashes the lowest was 67 cents and the highest was $1.02;
and with fine ground limestone the lowest was 42 cents and the highest was
$3.73. The average cost from all sources, not including " Lime Fertile " for
which a ridiculous price has been charged, has been 64 cents. This em-
phasizes the importance of securing quotations on delivered products before
placing an order for lime.

With regard to ground limestone, we would note that this is being offered
in much finer mechanical condition than formerly. In 1918 the average per
cent by weight of the product that would pass a one hundred mesh sieve was
71 per cent, while the average for this season was about 81 per cent, some
going as high as 98.4 per cent. Limestone as fine as this seems to be quite as
effective when used on the soil as the more active forms of lime, provided a
sufficient quantity is used to furnish the same amount of actual calcium and
magnesium oxides.

EXPLANATION OF TABLES OF ANALYSES.

In the tables of analyses the different fertilizers and fertilizer materials
have been grouped according to the kinds of plant food which they furnish.
All analyses have been arranged alphabetically according to the manufac-
turer's name as well as brand name. The groups are presented in the follow-
ing order: fertilizers furnishing nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash; fer-
tilizers furnishing nitrogen and phosphoric acid; fertilizers officially collected
and not registered; wood ashes; ground bone and tankage; dry ground fish ;
lime compounds; nitrogen compounds; phosphoric acid compounds. What
few potash compounds have been analyzed will be found on the last page of
phosphoric acid products.

In the tables of analyses will be found a column headed " Retail Cash Cost
of Like Amounts of Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash in Unmixed
Materials," This, in short, is the comparative commercial valuation of each
fertilizer, computed as explained in detail in the text of the bulletin under the
heading " Fertilizer Valuations."

The remaining data in the tables have been presented in substantially the
same form as in previous years, and will be found self-explanatory.

CONTROL SERIES BULLETIN No. 13 NOVEMBER, 1920

MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FEEDSTUFFS

By Philip H. Smith and Ethel M. Bradley

This bulletin contains the results of the feeding stuff inspec-
tion for the year ending September 1, 1920. In addition will be
found a discussion of home-mixed rations, and a table showing
the average analyses and retail ton prices of unmixed by-products
found in the Massachusetts markets.

A tabulated list of the wholesale cost of feedstuffs for the year,
based upon the Boston rate, is also given.

Requests for bulletins should be addressed to the

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION
AMHERST. MASS.

INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FEED-

STUFFS.

BY P. H. SMITH AND ETHEL M. BRADLEY, CHEMISTS, AND
J. T. HOWARD, INSPECTOR.

STATISTICS OF THE YEAR'S WORK.

During the year (September 1, 1919, to September 1, 1920) 1,002
samples of feeding stiiflfs, collected of dealers and manufacturers, were
analyzed and are reported in this bulletin. Two hundred and four dealers
located 'in 113 towns were visited at least once. One thousand four hun-
dred and sixty brands of feeding stuffs were registered for sale in Massachu-
setts by 305 manufacturers.

On account of the greatly increased cost of carrying out the provisions of
the feeding stuffs act with no increase in appropriation, local prosecutions
have not been attempted in cases where guarantees have not been substan-
tially met, the Experiment Station continuing to depend upon the co-opera-
tion of the Federal authorities for action against violators of the feeding
stuffs act when the feeds entered into interstate commerce.

On the whole, the market, while not entirely free from low^-grade material,
has been quite free from misrepresentation and fraud.

RESULTS OF INSPECTION.

In the preceding tables it has seemed best to adopt a new basis of classifi-
cation, somewhat different from that used in former bulletins. In the present
bulletin, feeding stuffs collected and analyzed have been grouped into two
general classes, — unmixed by-products and preimred feeds. By an unmixed
by-product is meant a feeding stuff which is sold as it comes from the factory
where it is made. A prepared or mixed feed is the result of assembling two
or more unmixed feeds for the purpose of forming a better ration or to in-
crease the salability of one or more of the components of the mixture.

Unmixed By-Products.

The Oil Cakes, — Cottonseed Meal, Linseed Meal and Peanut
Oil Meal. — The average quality of cottonseed meal was somewhat im-
proved over that analyzed the preceding year. The greater part of the
material sold in Massachusetts is obtained by brokers from oil mills scattered
through the cotton-growing districts, and is tagged by the brokers with their
own brand and guarantee. Under such conditions, while the brokers may
intend to furnish meal true to guarantee, the brand is not always as good
an indication of uniform quality as might be desired. The principal factor
affecting quality is the attempt to mix with the meal a maximum amount of
hulls in order to bring it to the grade desired. Season and section in which
the seed is grown also affect the chemical composition of the meal. Where
cottonseed meal is purchased in quantity by the consumer, it should be taken
with the understanding that a rebate will be required if the product does not
fully meet its guarantee.

Linseed meal is usually sold under the name and guarantee of the manu-
facturer, and is much more uniform in quality than cottonseed meal.

The two samples of Alaga brand peanut oil feed cannot be considered as
satisfactory as either the cottonseed or linseed meal, in that it contained the
shell as well as the meat of the nut. Peanut oil meal obtained from the
peanut kernel without the shell is fully equal or somewhat superior to cotton-
seed or linseed meal for milk production.

Two oil cakes occasionally found, but not collected during the past year,
are corn germ meal and coconut oil meal. Both products are fairly satis-
factory, and are used to a considerable extent in prepared mixtures.

The Gluten Products. — Gluten meal, of which only one brand is now
on the market, consists of the protein of the corn kernel after the removal of

18

the starch and corn bran in the manufacture of corn starch. If corn bran
and part of the corn germ are mixed with gluten meal the product is known
as gluten feed. Gluten feed frequently contains what is known as corn
solubles. This is the soluble matter dissolved from the kernel in the first
step in preparing the kernel for the separation of starch, in which the so-
called steep water in which the corn is soaked is condensed and the solid
residue returned to the feed. The gluten feeds analyzed were of good quality.

Farmer Jones Gluten Feed is made by a somewhat different process, and
is a by-product from the manufacture of maltose-corn syrup. It is uncolored
and contains a larger portion of the corn germ than do other brands. On
account of its texture and color some unwarranted prejudice exists against
it.

Distillers' By-Products. — Very few distillers' and brewers' grains were
found. The two samples of distillers' grains analyzed did not meet their
protein guarantees. The yeast grains are obtained from a mixture of prod-
ucts used to propagate yeast, and are somewhat less valuable for feeding
than a good grade of brewers' grains.

The Wheat By-Products (Middlings, Bran and Mixed Feed). — On
account of their palatability, uniformity and wide distribution the wheat by-
products will continue to form the foundation of most home-mixed rations.
The samples collected were of good quality. Occasional samples appeared to
have rather more screenings than is desirable, but inasmuch as such products
were branded to contain mill run of screenings, no legal objection could be
made to their presence.

The Durum or macaroni wheat by-products found were somewhat similar
to the corresponding material made from ordinary wheat.

Rye Feeds. — The sale of rye products, judging from the samples collected,
appears to be increasing. Custom and tradition in New England have led
to the use of rye in the feeding of swine more than for any other purpose.
There is no reason why such products as we have examined should not
safely constitute at least 10 to 20 per cent of a home-mixed ration.

The Cereal Meals. — Cereal meals made from corn, oats or barley, es-
pecially if home grown, will be found most satisfactory as a source of carbo-
hydrates, although in the making of a dairy ration it is often advisable in
the interest of economy to substitute some of the cereal by-products.

The hominy feeds analyzed were as represented, with but one exception.
The product put out by John Wade & Sons resembled more closely corn feed
meal, and could not properly be classed as hominy feed. Hominy feed forms
a satisfactory substitute for corn meal.

19

Dried beet pulp can more properly be classed as a roughage. Its feeding
value appears to be greater than its chemical composition would indicate, at
least in the opinion of many feeders, especially where cows are receiving
heavy grain rations on advanced registry tests. Its beneficial effect is due
probably not only to the nutriment which it contains, but also to its favorable
influence upon the general condition of the animal.

The samples guaranteed to contain an admixture of beet molasses did not
vary greatly in composition from the plain beet pulp.

Oat feed is the by-product from the milling of rolled oats, and is used ex-
tensively as a component of mixed feeds. Its feeding value is about the same
as that of a good quality of mixed hay.

Prepared Feeds.

The prepared feeds found on the Massachusetts market may be divided
into two general groups. The first group contains one or more low-grade
products mixed with high-grade feedstuffs in order to make the former ma-
terial more salable and usually at a higher price. The second group contains
no filler, such as oat hulls, grain screenings, cottonseed hulls and the like.
The tabulation of analyses does not follow this classification.

Cottonseed feed is a mixture of ground cottonseed hulls with some
cottonseed meal. The only excuse for the offering of such a mixture in the
north is to sell the hulls to better advantage. Cottonseed hulls should be
used as a cheap roughage where produced and not shipped long distances,
otherwise the cost of the nutrients they contain will be still further increased
by the high freight charges. Four brands were collected and analyzed.

Wheat and Rye Mixtures. — Such mixtures were found on the markets
to a considerable extent during the war, when they were used as substitutes
for the wheat products, the supply of which was greatly curtailed. They
are practically equal to the straight wheat by-products in feeding value.
Two brands only were collected, which would indicate a decreasing demand
on account of the normal output of wheat -products.

Dairy Feeds. — Such feeds are intended as complete grain rations for
milk production. A wide variety of material is used, some of which is not
available to the feeder for home-mixing. It does not follow, however, that
fully as satisfactory rations cannot be mixed from feeds available in local
stores. Many of the dairy feeds contained nothing but excellent material;
others contained a considerable amount of filler, such as grain screenings,
oat hulls or clipped oat refuse. A number contained alfalfa. While alfalfa
is an excellent roughage, as a component of dairy feeds it must be considered

20

out of place. The samples collected practically conformed to their guarantees.
The ingredients of which these mixtures are composed are not printed in the
tabulation, but can be found by the purchaser on the tag or label which
accompanies each sack sold.

A study of the retail prices of these feeds indicates that those containing
low-grade material sold on the average for somewhat less than the better
grades, although this was not true in all cases. The average price for all
dairy feeds collected was 182.50 a ton; for those containing low-grade ma-
terial, $76.

Molasses feeds are divided into two groups. The first group consists of
feeds containing more than 15 per cent of protein, which are as a rule adver-
tised and sold as dairy feeds. The second group consists of feeds containing
less than 15 per cent of protein, which are as a rule advertised and sold as
horse feeds. Many of the latter contain alfalfa meal. Lasco Stock Feed, no
longer manufactured, contained in addition to other ingredients ground
cocoa shells and coffee hull bran. Xtra Vim Feed consisted of cane molasses
and sphagnum moss.

Hog Feeds. — Judging from the number of brands offered, the sale of
prepared hog feeds is increasing. Unless they can be purchased at a saving
in price they have nothing to commend them over a mixture of corn meal,
wheat middlings and 5 to 10 per cent of tankage. The feed sold by L. A.
Randall contains so much refuse material that its use, in our estimation, is
not to be recommended.

Calf meals intended as partial milk substitutes for calves were found in
limited amounts. The samples collected showed considerable variation in
chemical composition and appearance. Such mixtures will probably prove
of value for the purpose intended, and, on account of the difficulty in se-
curing the ingredients in small quantity, will be generally used where a milk
substitute is desired.

Miscellaneous Protein Feeds. — Velvet Bean Feed, one sample of which
is reported, has not proved a popular feeding stuft'. It first came to notice
in Massachusetts during a shortage of other feeding stuffs on account of the
war. Its unpopularity was due probabh^ to the fact that many were ignorant
as to how to use it to the best advantage. On account of insufficient drying,
some shipments heated either in transit or after arrival, which did not tend
to increase its popularity.^

Washburn's Mixed Feed has wheat feed as a base, together with an ad-
mixture of oat feed and other products. It is intended probably as a substi-
tute for wheat feeds, a need which is not now apparent.

1 See Bulletin No. 197, Velvet Bean Feed for Farm Stock.

21

Oat middlings, one of the by-products from the manufacture of rolled oats,
is an excellent product, although seldom found on the market, owing to its
extensive use in calf meals and poultry feeds.

Mixed Cereal Meals. — Several samples of provender (corn and oats)
and one brand of corn, oats and barley (Monopoly Feed) are reported. They
were free from adulteration, and can be considered as satisfactory as the
cereal meals from which they are made.

Stock and Horse Feeds. — Such mixtures as are grouped under this
heading usually contain oat feed (oat hulls, middlings and dust), together
with more digestible products. The principal object of their sale is to form
a satisfactory outlet for the large amount of residue resulting in the manu-
facture of rolled oats and oat meal. Their use cannot be recommended
except when they are sold at such a price as to form an economical substitute
for the cereal grains. In the purchase of such material care should be taken
to avoid those brands containing an excessive amount of fiber (10 per cent
for the maximum). The prospective purchaser will be repaid for a careful
study of the analytical data given for feeds of this group.

Poultry Feeds.

Alfalfa meal, while used in many prepared horse and dairy feeds, when
unmixed is usually purchased in Massachusetts as a poultry food. Its value
in the poultry ration has probably been overestimated, as in the dry state
its high fiber content lowers its digestibility. It has also proved rather un-
palatable in tests made at the poultry department of the Agricultural College.
The Globe Brand, a California product, showed an exceptionally high protein
and low fiber content.

Poultry Mashes and Meals. — The most striking point in the analyses
of the poultry mashes as given in the compilation is their wide diver-
gence in chemical composition. In many instances they must have been
mixed without any idea of the food requirements of fowls. For laying
birds, a mash should consist of from 15 to 20 per cent of a good quality
of meat scraps mixed with other products low in fiber content and not
unpalatable.

While for the small backyard flock it may be advisable to use ready-mixed
mashes, for a flock of any size the advantages of home mixing are just as
great for poultry as for dairy stock.

22

Two suggestions for home-mixed laying mashes are as follows : —

I.

20 pounds ground oats.
20 pounds corn meal.
20 pounds wheat bran.
20 pounds beef scrap.
20 pounds wheat middlings.
20 pounds gluten feed.

II.

20 pounds wheat bran.
20 pounds wheat middlings.
20 pounds ground oats.
20 pounds com meal.
20 pounds meat scraps.

Animal Products. —The meat and meat and bone by-products are
grouped in accordance with their phosphoric acid content. Those which
contain less than 10 per cent of phosphoric acid are considered meat products;
those which contain 10 per cent or over are considered meat and bone prod-
ucts. A considerable proportion of bone is not objectionable in a poultry
scrap, providing the product is free from odor or decomposition. The price
paid should, however, be less for an article containing considerable bone and
a consequently lower protein content than for the higher grade goods. Great
care should be exercised in the selection of scraps, even though a fancy price
must be paid for high-class goods. Avoid tainted material. Too much of
the scrap offered is more fit for fertilizer than for feeding.

The fish products found in limited amounts are satisfactory substitutes for
the meat products when made from undecomposed material and free from
salt, but the price should correspond closely to that of meat scraps of equal
protein content.

23

HOME-MIXING OF RATIONS.

In the making of rations, aside from the desire to secure variety and pal-
atabiUty, the feeder or manufacturer mixes feeding stuffs which will increase
either the protein or carbohydrates (starchy matter) in the ration. In other
words, feeding stuffs fall naturally into two groups, - — protein or carbo-
hydrate, — and the unmixed by-products and prepared feeds in our classifica-
tion are so subdivided.

If the feeder has some knowledge of the chemical composition of feeding
stuffs and the requirements of his animals, he will mix feeds of such kinds
and in such proportions as to give the best results for the purpose intended.
Such a mixture is called a balanced ration.

The number of unmixed products which have given general satisfaction
in home-mixed rations is limited. New or little-known products which may
be found on the market from time to time should be tried at first experi-
mentally until the feeder is thoroughly familiar with them and can adapt
their use to his own conditions.

To many the preparation of home-mixed rations app)ears so formidable
that the feeder either relies upon ready-mixed preparations or upon the hit-
or-miss method of mixing indiscriminately whatever his retailer may have in
stock. The feeds upon which the average feeder must depend are compara-
tively few in number, and consist of cottonseed meal, linseed meal, gluten
feed, wheat bran, wheat mixed feed, wheat middlings, corn meal, ground
oats, ground barley and hominy feed. Many other products are found, but
as a rule are not generally distributed. If the feeder will mix three or more
of the above feeds in such proportions as to secure a mixture containing 20
to 22 per cent protein, providing two by-products are not derived from the
same seed or grain, he will secure fully as good a ration as the average ready-
mixed product, and usually at a saving in cost. He will also have the addi-
tional satisfaction of knoWing just what he is using.

In such a mixture linseed and cottonseed may be considered as one group ;
wheat bran and wheat mixed feed another group; and corn meal, ground
oats, ground barley and hominy feed still another. The feeds in each group
can then be substituted one for the other, depending upon price. Of the
feeds not as often found, gluten meal may replace either cottonseed or linseed
meals; coconut oil meal may replace gluten feed; and rye feed or rye mid-
dlings may be used in place of part of the wheat products. It is not claimed
that the feeding stuffs given an equal substitution value have identical nutri-

24

tive values; in fact, their values must be regarded as approximate rather
than equal.

The following rations are suggested as types based upon the above classi-
fication, which will lend itself to a wide variety of combinations; the feeds
used are usually found in any feed store : —

I.

Cottonseed meal or linseed meal, .....

Gluten feed, ........

Corn meal or hominy feed or ground oats or ground barley.
Wheat bran, . . . . . .

Wheat middlings, .......

II.

Cottonseed meal or linseed meal, .....
Corn meal or hominy feed or ground oats or ground barley,
Wheat mixed feed or wheat bran, ....

Pounds.

Use one or more feeds in each group, providing the total number of pounds
in each group does not exceed the total number of pounds indicated for that
group.

111. Pounds.

Gluten feed, 300

Wheat bran or wheat mixed feed, . . . . . . . . 200

Corn meal or liominj" feed or ground oats or ground barley, .... 100

Use two feeds in last group, one of which should be corn meal or hominy
feed, the other ground oats or ground barley.

Following is the average retail ton price of some unmixed products which
the farmer could use in home-mixed rations, as compared with the average
retail ton price of ready-mixed dairy feeds for the same period (September 1,
1919, to April 1, 1920) : —

Dairy feeds, average.

Based on the preceding prices, ration I, containing 300 pounds of cotton-
seed meal, 300 pounds of gluten feed, 300 pounds of hominy feed, 200 pounds
of wheat bran and 100 pounds of wheat middlings, would cost $73 a ton.
Ration II, containing 100 pounds of cottonseed meal, 100 pounds of corni

25

meal and 100 pounds of wheat bran, would cost $70.40 a ton. In other words,
based on average prices, the farmer could have saved from $10 to $12 a ton
by home-mixing. Of course, a ration could be mixed which would vary
from these prices. They are presented merely to illustrate the possibilities
for economy which may be practiced by those who are willing to gi^•e the
matter attention.

Before purchasing ready-mixed feeds for either cattle, horses, swine or
poultry, the feeder should consider the following points: —

The manufacturer, through his more intimate knowledge of market con-
ditions, and the fact that he buys in large quantities, usually obtains the
ingredients for mixing somewhat cheaper than can the small dealer or farmer.

On the other hand, in addition to a legitimate profit to the miller, the con-
sumer must pay extra freightage, charges for mill operation, extensive ad-
vertising, the cost of selling, new sacks, etc., all of which are figured in the
price of the feed.

Conditions may arise where prepared feeds sell for less than straight by-
products, but not for long periods.

In home-mixed rations the feeder has the advantage of knowing exactly
what he is feeding, and can vary the proportions of ingredients at will.

The mixed feed business is a legitimate one, and has increased greatly of
late years. Because of the large variety of all kinds of by-products, it is
probably a necessity. On the other hand, its tremendous growth has been
greatly aided by the feeder, who evidently prefers to pay the extra cost of
prepared feeds rather than to give the matter a little study and mix his own
rations.

COLLECTION OF FERTILIZERS.

During the past season the State was divided into districts and a man al-
lotted to each district as follows: J. T. Howard (onr regular inspector) to
Hampshire, Hampden, Franklin and Berkshire counties; Mr. B. D. Raymond,
Essex, Middlesex and SufTolk counties; Mr. C. M. Bourne, Norfolk, Bristol,
Plymouth and Barnstable counties; and Mr. George H. Kelton, Worcester
County. The last three men had the use of automobiles, which very much
facilitated their work.

Some difficulties have been encountered during the season which have made
it impossible to secure a perfectly satisfactory collection, even with the im-
proved system employed. Thus the high prices which have prevailed for both
mixed fertilizers and crude stock materials resulted in a restricted purchase of
these commodities in many sections of the State. Furthermore, the condi-
tions of transportation were so bad that many agents canceled their orders
when it became apparent that the goods would not be delivered until after
the crops w^re planted. In many instances fertilizer was received so late
that it was not put in storage at all, but was drawn by the consumer directly
from the car to the field and applied to the soil. In some parts of the State
conditions were worse than in others. In the counties of Essex, Middlesex
and Suffolk very little fertilizer was delivered until May 3, while in Norfolk,
Bristol, Plymouth and Barnstable counties considerable was received by
April 23. The inspectors in these territories were therefore laid off for two
to three Aveeks. The same condition prevailed, but to a somewhat less de-
gree, in Worcester County, while in the four western counties plenty of ferti-
lizer of certain makes was found from April 1 through the spring season.

The usual service has been extended to farmers and farmers' organiza-
tions throughout the State for the early sampling and analysis of large lots
of fertilizer and fertilizing materials bought for home consumption. So far
as possible, requests for this work should be made during the fall and winter
months before the rush of spring collection begins.

The following statistics have been gathered in regard to the 1920 collection:
17,919 sacks were sampled, representing 7,403 tons of fertilizer; 193 towns
were visited; 1,311 samples, representing 492 distinct brands, were drawn
from stock found in the possession of 716 different agents or owners.

FERTILIZER TONNAGE.

The following summary gives the tonnage of mixed and unmixed fertilizers
which was sold from July 1, 1919, to July 1, 1920, as compared with the ton-
nage sold during the same period for the preceding year: —

July 1, 1918, to
July 1, 1919.

42,689
12,189

49,240
12,181 '

Total,

61,421

From the above figures it appears that there has been an increase in the
quantity of fertilizer sold, amounting to 6,543 tons, largely in the form of
mixed fertilizers, as compared with the previous season.

The figures for the total tonnage sold from July 1, 1920, to January 1,
1921, will not be available before February, 1921, and will therefore appear as
part of the tonnage for the season of 1921. The amount sold each year be-
tween July 1 and January 1 is small, averaging only 3,000 to 4,000 tons,
which is used largely as a top dressing for onions and tobacco and for grass
seed ng.

l^urther data with reference to the tonnage of different grades of mixed
fertilizer will be found in subsequent pages of this bulletin.

FERTILIZER VALUATIONS.

The fertilizer market is still far from normal, as may be seen from the fol-
lowing table, which gives the variations in wholesale quotations during the
six months preceding j\Iarch 1, 1920, and for December 27, 1920, as taken
from the "Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter."

It would seem that the fertihzer market, in common with the market for
other commodities, has been seriously affected by the conditions of readjust-
ment following the great war. The unusual advance in price of ammonium
sulfate was no doubt due largely to the hea^\v buying of the Japanese for their
needs in the culture of the mulberry for the propagation of the silkworm.
The more recent curtailment of European credits is very likely largely respon-
sible for the sharp decline in the price of ammoniates. Whether or not this
will affect the price of mixed goods for 1921, remains to be seen. The crude
stock products which make up the mixed fertilizers for 1921 were of necessity
bought on a high market, and to sell on the basis of prices which prevailed
January 1, 1921, for crude stock materials would mean a very serious loss to
the fertilizer manufacturer. On the other hand, during the past four to five
years he has no doubt had opportunities for profit which would compensate
for losses which he may, and probably will, have to experience. Unless pre-
vailing prices for the average farm products be accompanied by a much lower
price for fertilizers, a very serious curtailment in the use of these commodities
must follow.

The following trade values were adopted in the spring of 1920 for use in
the valuation of fertilizers and fertilizing materials in compliance with our
State law. These values represent the average wholesale quotations for cash
of standard crude stock materials in New England, New York and New
Jersey markets, as given in the trade journals, for the six months preceding
March 1, 1920, plus 20 per cent.

Wood Ashes. — With one exception the ashes sold in the State this season
have been handled by John Joynt of Lucknow, Ontario, Can. They have been
purchased by the local farmer as a potash source at a cost of $5 per unit of
total potash. Canada ashes therefore proved to be an expensive source of
potash, since this element has been freely purchased during the season for .$3
or less per unit in water soluble form. It is true that the average wood ashes
contain in addition to potash 1.5 per cent of phosphoric acid and about .30
per cent of lime, and when used on soil inclined to be acid the lime is likely
to be of as much value as the same amount of calcium oxide from fine ground
limestone or from most other sources. If one is purchasing this material as a
potash source, he would be justified in computing the value of the phosphoric
acid and lime at the same figure at which they could be bought in available
form from other sources.

Mention should be made of two or three carloads of ashes that were found
late in the season at South Deerfield. These appeared to be an average grade
of ash, but tested very low^ in total potash and high in moisture and insoluble
matter. As these ashes were of very much lower grade than anything that
had previously been registered by Mr. Joynt, their sale was allowed to continue
only after a lower grade of ashes had been registered and after the average com-
position of the product had been posted in a conspicuous place on the door
of the bin which contained it. Ashes should always be bought on a specific
statement of the guaranteed potash, phosphoric acid and lime they contain.

Apatite and Sulphide of Barium (Barium-Phosphate). — Three grades
of this product have been found on the market. Grade A is supposed to be fine
ground phosphate rock with the addition of barium sulphide. The product was
guaranteed 28 per cent total phosphoric acid. Grade B was said to be apatite
and barium sulphide, guaranteed 16 per cent total phosphoric acid; while Grade
C was said to consist of apatite and barium sulphide with a 14 per cent total
phosphoric acid guarantee. All of these products should be classed with the
raw mineral rock phosphates. Results of experiments to date with mixtures
of apatite and barium sulphide do not indicate that the presence of the barium
sulphide enhances the value of the products as a source of available plant food.

Lime Potash. — Although two brands of lime potash were registered in the
Massachusetts markets, none was actually sold. Because of its low content of
potash it is not satisfactory for use in home mixtures nor economical as a pot-
ash source, especially when the more concentrated potash salts are available.

At this writing, rumors are current that relatively large stocks of potash
Lave accumulated in various parts of the country, and the forecast is made
that potash will be much lower in price for 1921 than it has been for a number
of years.

QUALITY OF PLANT FOOD IN COMPLETE FERTILIZERS.

Nitrogen. — The average total nitrogen in mixed complete fertilizers was
nearly .3 per cent, of which half was in forms immediately available and half
in organic form. About one-third of the organic nitrogen was soluble in

19

water, and of the insoluble, approximately three-fifths was found active by
laboratory methods. The exact figures follow : —

Nitrogen as nitrates and ammoniates,

Total organic nitrogen,

Water soluble organic nitrogen, ....

Active water insoluble organic nitrogen, .

Inactive water insoluble organic nitrogen,

Total nitrogen, .2.97

The average total nitrogen in complete fertilizers had a percentage activity
of 87.20 per cent; the total organic nitrogen, 74.30 per cent; and the water
insoluble organic nitrogen, 60.80 per cent.

Phosphoric Acid. — The average total phosphoric acid found in mixed
complete fertilizers was 9.12 per cent; 81 per cent of this amount was present
in available form, and about 58 per cent of the available phosphoric acid was
in water soluble form.

Potassium Oxide. — The average complete fertilizer contained 3.45 per
cent of water soluble potassium oxide, as against 1.88 per cent for the previous
year. The following potash guarantees were found : —

8 per cent guaranteed, 1 brand.

7 per cent guaranteed, 4 brands.

6 per cent guaranteed, . 9 brands.

5 per cent guaranteed, 16 brands.

4 per cent guaranteed, 87 brands.

3 per cent guaranteed, 44 brands.

2 per cent guaranteed, 52 brands.

1 per cent guaranteed, 17 brands.

Fractional guarantees, 15 brands.

Out of a total of 245 brands analyzed, 30, or 13.50 per cent of the total
number, failed to meet the minimum potash guarantee. This is a much
better showing than in 1919, when nearly 40 per cent of the brands were
found deficient in this ingredient. Twenty-five brands designated as mixtures
for tobacco showed an average of .77 per cent of chlorine.

QUALITY OF PLANT FOOD IN AMMONIATED SUPERPHOS-
PHATES.

Nitrogen. — The average total nitrogen found in ammoniated super-
phosphates was 3.51 per cent, made up as follows: —

Nitrogen as nitrates and ammoniates, 1 . 74

Total organic nitrogen, 1 . 77

Water soluble organic nitrogen, 49

Active water insoluble organic nitrogen, 73

Inactive water insoluble organic nitrogen, 55

Total nitrogen, 3.51

The a\'erage total nitrogen in ammoniated superphosphates had a percent-
age activity of 84.3; the total organic nitrogen, 68.9; and the water insoluble
organic nitrogen, 57.

Phosphoric Acid. — The average total phosphoric acid found in am-
moniated superphosphates was 11.81 per cent; 81.8 per cent of this was
found in available form, and about 58.1 per cent of the available phosphoric
acid was in water soluble fonn.

22

BRANDS OF MIXED FERTILIZER SHOWING INFERIOR FORMS

OF NITROGEN.

Out of a total of 338 brands of mixed fertilizer, only 2 were found to con-
tain organic nitrogen the water insoluble portion of which showed a low avail-
ability by the laboratory method. These were Mapes Potato Manure, which
showed an activity of the water insoluble organic nitrogen of 37.40 per cent
by the alkaline permanganate method and 69.80 per cent by the neutral
permanganate method, and the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company's Owl
Brand, which showed an activity of the water insoluble organic nitrogen of
38.60 and 75.20 per cent, respectively. Besides these, 2 brands of peat mix-
tures and 8 of pulverized sheep manure were noted. From their general
make-up these latter products are expected to contain organic nitrogen of
inferior quality. As in previous years, a large number of both complete ferti-
lizers and ammoniated superphosphates ran but slightly above the passing
mark, and it is an open question if the standard of 50 for the alkaline per-
manganate method and 85 for the neutral permanganate method should not
be raised to 55 and 90.

A STUDY OF THE GRADES OF MIXED FERTILIZERS SOLD IN

MASSACHUSETTS.

Several years ago the National Fertilizer Association went on record as
advocating the manufacture and sale of fertilizer mixtures which would carry
a minimum of 14 per cent of available plant food. This action was expected
to result in the withdrawal from the trade of those brands so low in analysis
as to make their manufacture, transportation and sale of doubtful economy.
This station has for many years tried to discourage the purchase of low-analj'-
sis fertilizer mixtures in general by pointing out the increased cost of the
plant food which they contain as well as the uneconomic practice of their
transportation and handling. The following studies have been made to ascer-
tain if these agencies have been effective in decreasing the purchase of those
brands which carry less than 14 per cent of available plant food, and which
for convenience we will designate as loAV-analysis fertilizers. The following
table shows the conditions for five years prior to the World War, as com-
pared with the season of 1920. This table includes only those brands which
furnish the three elements, — nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, — for
the reason that prior to 1915 practically all of the mixed goods carried water
soluble potash, while during the war and at the present time many brands
carry only nitrogen and phosphoric acid and are classed as ammoniated super-
phosphates.

In case of mixed fertilizers without potash (ammoniated superphosphates)
an average for the past five years — ■ that is, from 1916 through 1920 — shows
that 69.8 per cent of the total number of brands sold in Massachusetts fur-
nished less than 14 per cent of available plant food, and according to the above
classification would be designated as low analysis.

The tonnage of the two grades of mixed complete fertilizers and ammoniated
superphosphates sold in Massachusetts for 1920 was as follows: — ■

Tons.

High-analysis complete fertilizers, 24,383

Low-analysis complete fertilizers, 13,136

High-analysis ammoniated superphosphates, 1,978

Low-analysis ammoniated superphosphates, 7,271

The above table indicates that a slight improvement has been made in the
mixed fertilizer offerings during the more recent years, amounting to about
5 per cent in favor of the high-analysis goods. It is evident, however, both
from the statistics given in the table and from the tonnage statement given for
1920, that altogether too large a number of low-analysis fertilizers are being
purchased by our farmers. \Miether this is the fault of the farmer in demand-
ing a mixed fertilizer which costs less per ton, or whether it is due to the fact
that the fertilizer manufacturer realizes a greater profit on the low-analysis
brands, may be an open question. The fact remains, however, that the actual
cost to the farmer of plant food in the low^-analysis goods greatly exceeds that
of the plant food in fertilizers of higher analysis. This is illustrated in the
following table : —

The above table shows that the increase in cost of a pound of mineral nitro-
gen has been about 5 cents, of organic nitrogen about 8 cents, of available phos-
phoric acid 1.5 cents, and of potash 2.6 cents, when derived from brands which
furnished less than 14 per cent of available plant food. If low-analysis mix-
tures were used on onions, tobacco and market garden crops, the increase in the
cost of the plant food would amount to $15 or SIG per acre. The application of
these increased cost figures to the tonnage and average composition of low-
analysis complete fertilizers and low-analysis ammoniated superphosphates
which were sold in jMassachusetts for the season of 1920 shows that had the
Massachusetts farmer bought nothing but high-analysis fertilizers he would
have saved over $132,000.

THE ECONOMICAL PURCHASE OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.

From the statistics given in this bulletin with reference to the number of
brands and the tonnage of low-analysis goods sold during the past season,
together with the increased cost of the plant food which such brands of fertilizer
furnish, it is evident that much fertilizer is not economically purchased by the
Massachusetts farmer. It is not always an easy matter to select the best fer-
tilizer or to make the most economical purchase for the reason that there are
so many varying conditions from season to season. A formula having the
same analysis and made up of the same crude stock materials and chemicals
may not give the same degree of satisfaction in two consecutive years unless
the two seasons are similar in rainfall, temperature and sunshine. The condi-
tion of the trade cannot but have an important effect on the economical pur-
chase of fertilizers. The writer has known seasons when the price for mixed
fertilizers, which is usually established to hold through the winter and spring
months up to July 1 , has made it possible for a purchaser to buy his plant food
for less mone^' in this form than from unmixed chemicals and crude stock ma-

33

terials. On the other hand, the present season (the fall of 1920) seems to
offer unusual opportunities to save on the fertilizer bill by the purchase of
unmixed materials, for the reason that the materials which make up the mixed
goods for the 1921 trade were bought on a high market and the curtailment
of European credits has caused a sharp decline in the price of many of the
crude stock materials which will have to be used in this country. These
products will no doubt be gradually absorbed by the fertilizer manufacturers,
which should result in more moderate prices for mixed goods another
season.

It is not always good practice to buy mixed goods according to the trade
name alone, on accoimt of the large variety of formulas that are advocated
by the different manufacturers for the same crop. For instance, a study of
the tables of analysis for the season of 1920 shows that 36 different brands of
so-called potato fertilizers were sold in ^Massachusetts. These varied in
guaranteed composition so that 15 different grades were represented, as
follows : — ■

Grade 2-8-3, 11 brands.

Grade 4-8-4, 9 brands.

Grade 3-8-4,' 3 brands.

Grade 2-8-2, 2 brands.

The remaining grades had only one brand each, and varied in nitrogen from
2 to 5 per cent, in phosphoric acid from 6 to 10 per cent, and in potash from
1 to 7 per cent.

An economical and intelligent selection of fertilizers can be made only after
a study of local conditions and of the fertilizer needs of the crops to be grown
on the various types of soil, and it should be remembered that every soil is
an individual problem. When it is ascertained what formula is needed it
should be purchased of the party who will furnish it for the least money, pro-
vided, of course, the purchaser has full confidence in the manufacturer. As
a rule, the prices for the same grade of goods put out by the large manufac-
turers do not vary to any considerable extent when figured on the same basis
of payment and tonnage. The same formula put out by different firms may,
however, vary more or less in its general make-up. Some brands may con-
tain a larger proportion of mineral nitrogen than do others, or possibly a
grade of organic nitrogen which in part may be of inferior quality, or the
phosphoric acid may be more available in one case than in another. These
points can usually be determined by a study of the annual fertilizer bulletins
from season to season.

34

The study of prevailing prices for chemicals and crude stock materials is
usually worth while for those who care to dispense with the greater conven-
ience which factory mixed goods offer, and who are not averse to mixing their
own formulas. Not infrequently a considerable saving will result from the
practice of home mixing. It is not, however, asserted that this would be a
good practice for every one to follow, particularly under the present method
of handling the trade.

For those who are not in a position to study their own conditions and buy
accordingly, the following grades of fertilizer will in the majority of cases be
economical mixtures. They are all high-analysis mixtures of a composition
usually conceded to be fairly well balanced for the crops designated.

It is probably safe to conclude that the selection of only high-analysis
formulas will do more towards bringing about a universal economical pur-
chase of fertilizers than any other agency that may be advocated.

LIME COMPOUNDS.

Thirty-six samples of lime products used for application to the soil have
been inspected. Twenty-two analyses have been made, representing 21
distinct brands. As a rule, guarantees have been maintained in a satisfactory
manner. The slaked limes showed an average of 61.07 per cent of calcium
oxide and 3.07 per cent of magnesium oxide; lime ashes, an average of 40.97
per cent of calcium oxide and 2.14 per cent of magnesium oxide. One of the
samples of lime ashes tested 2.43 per cent of acid soluble potash, which is very
unusual and indicates that a large proportion of wood ashes must have been
present in that particular shipment, as the average of 82 analyses made at
this laboratory shows acid soluble potash 1.38 per cent, with a minimum of
.16 per cent. Fine ground limestone has tested on the average 45.71 per cent
of calcium oxide and 4.30 per cent of magnesium oxide.

The tables show the usual wide ^'ariation in the cost of 100 pounds of actual
calcium oxide in the various lime products.

The average cost from all sources, lime-fertile excepted, was 63.6 cents.
The degree of fineness (mechanical condition) of the ground limestones was
about the same as in 1919 and, on the whole, was quite satisfactory.

EXPLANATION OF TABLES OF ANALYSES.

In the tables of analyses the products have been grouped according to the
elements of plant food furnished and in the following order: complete ferti-
lizers, ammoniated superphosphates, fertilizers for private use, fertilizers
supplying phosphoric acid and potash (including wood ashes), ground bone
and tankage, dry ground fish, lime compounds, nitrogen compounds, phos-
phoric acid compounds, and potash compounds. All analyses have been
alphabetically arranged according to manufacturer as well as brand name.
The columns in the tables of analyses will be found self-explanatory with
possibly two exceptions : —

First, " Relative Cash Cost of Like Amounts of Nitrogen, Phosphoric
Acid and Potash in Unmixed Materials." This represents the comparative
commercial valuation of the fertilizer. It is figured from the analysis by the
use of the table of trade values.

Second, a change has been made this season in the manner of reporting
the several forms of nitrogen. In place of the columns " Water Soluble " and
"Water Insoluble," which have been used in the past, one column headed
"Organic Nitrogen" has been substituted. The quality of the water insoluble
portion of this organic nitrogen is indicated in an adjoining column by the
word "good," "passed" or "inferior." The interpretation of this classifica-
tion is as follows: " good " indicates a water insoluble organic nitrogen activ-
ity (by the alkaline permanganate method) of 55 or over; " passed " indicates
an activity of between 50 and 55; and "inferior" indicates an activity of
less than 50.

Footnotes accompanying the tables of analyses of mixed fertilizers indicate
the form of potash present. The absence of footnote reference indicates that
the potash was present in the form of muriate, or at least that enough chlorine
was present to unite with all of the potash found.

CONTROL SERIES BULLETIN No. 15 NOVEMBER, 1921

MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FEEDSTUFFS

By Philip H. Smith and Ethel M. Beadley

This bulletin contains the results of the feeding stuff inspection
for the year ending September 1, 1921. In addition will be found
two short articles entitled ** What is Wheat Mixed Feed? " and
** Some More Recent Aspects of Animal Nutrition." Two tables,
one showing the average analyses and retail ton prices of unmixed
by-products found in the Massachusetts markets, and the other
a tabulated list of the wholesale cost of feed stuffs for the year,
based upon the Boston rate, are also given.

Requests for bulletins should be addressed to the

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FEEDSTUFFS

BY PHILIP H. SMITH AND ETHEL M. BRADLEY, CHEMISTS, AND JAMES T. HOWARD,

INSPECTOR.

INTRODUCTION.

During the year (Sept. 1, 1920, to Sept. 1, 1921) 1,121 samples of feeding stuffs
collected of dealers and manufacturers were analyzed and are reported in this bulletin.
Two hundred and twenty-one dealers located in 136 towns were visited at least once.
One thousand three hundred and forty-nine brands of feeding stuffs were registered
for sale in Massachusetts by 258 manufacturers.

The purchase of an automobile for the use of the inspector not only enables him
to save much time, but also makes it possible to visit more frequently stores not easily
accessible on account of their distance from railroad and trolley lines.

In common with other business, the grain trade has been extremely unsettled, and
in order to meet a falling market much feed has been sold by the retailer at less than
wholesale price at the time of purchase.

The present indication (Oct. 1, 1921) is that the market has reached its lowest level.

RESULTS OF INSPECTION.

Cottonseed and Linseed Meals.

The cottonseed meal as found was guaranteed to contain, 36, 38j, 41 and 43 per
cent protein. Cottonseed is usually sold, at least up to the time it reaches the retail
trade, on the basis of its protein content. One large jobber has made during the past
season a difference of about $1.25 a ton in the price of the meal of different grades. It
would be interesting to know whether this difference is in all cases carried through to
the consumer. On account of the wide fluctuations in grain prices during the past
season it is difficult to demonstrate this point from the data available.

The general quality of the cottonseed meal sold has improved noticeably over that
offered for several years, although the guarantees of certain brands have not been met.
The average protein content of seven samples of Buckeye cottonseed meal was ttt of 1
per cent lower than the guarantee.

Linseed meal tested slightly below its protein guarantee as compared with that
sold in previous years, and the manufacturers lowered their guarantee to meet this
changed condition. This condition was probably brought about by the quality of the
seed crushed. Present indications are that this season's meal will be of normal quality.

The Gluten Products.

Gluten meal consists very largely of corn gluten, the residue left after the removal
of a greater part of the starch, corn bran and corn germ from the corn kernel. The
manufacturers have evidently modified their process of manufacturing this product
so as to incorporate rather more fat than formerly. Up to 1920 the average fat con-
tent of gluten meal was about 1 per cent. For the last two years it has been between
3 and 4 per cent.

The gluten feeds were of average quality. Occasional samples were found to be
off color, due to heating, or to be rather coarse, due to poor grinding. While such
samples excite the suspicions of the purchaser, a chemical analysis does not usually
show that they differ materially from meals more satisfactory in appearance, although
a dark-colored, off-flavored gluten feed will probably prove less palatable than a feed
of normal appearance.

The "Continental" and "Farmer Jones" so-called gluten feeds are made by a
somewhat different process from the one employed in making the other brands. While
excellent feeding stuffs, it is believed that custom at least identifies the name gluten
feed with the by-product of cornstarch factories, and the feeds derived from modified
methods of manufacture should be called by another name.

The sample of "Farmer Jones" gluten feed had an exceptionally high protein
content.

Distillers' and Brewers' By-Products.

Two samples of distillers' grains and three of brewers' grains were collected. The
brewers' grains were of good quality. The somewhat limited supply of these products,
derived from the manufacture of medicinal liquors, industrial alcohol and non-alcoholic
beers, are largely absorbed by the manufacturers of compounded feeds.

23

The Wheat By-Products (Middlings, Bran and Mixed Feed).

The Association of Feed Control Officials have adopted the following definitions
for the wheat by-products : ■ — ■

Wheat Products.

Wheat Bran is the coarse outer coating of the wheat kernel as separated from cleaned and
scoured wheat in the usual process of commercial milling.

Standard Middlings (Red Shorts or Brown Shorts) consists mostly of the fine particles of
bran, germ and very little of the fibrous offal obtained from the "tail of the mill." This product
must be obtained in the usual commercial process of milling.

Gray Shorts (Gray Middlings or Total Shorts) consists of the fine particles of the outer bran,
the inner or "bee-wing" bran, the germ and the offal or fibrous material obtained in the usual
commercial pi'ocess of flour milling.

Flour Middlings shall consist of standard middlings and red dog flour combined in the pro-
portions obtained in the usual process of milling.

White Shorts or White Middlings consists of a small portion of the fine bran particles and the
germ, and a large portion of the fibrous offal obtained from the "tail of the mill." This product
must be obtained in the usual process of flour milling.

Red Dog Flour consists of a mLxture of low-grade flour, fine particles of bran and the fibrous
offal from the "tail of the mill."

Wheat Mixed Feed (Mill Run Wheat Feed) consists of pure wheat bran and the gray or total
shorts or flour middlings combined in the proportions obtained in the usual process of commercial
milling.

Wheat Bran and Standard Middlings consists of the two commodities as defined above, mixed
in the proportions obtained in the usual process of commercial milling.

Screenings consists of the smaller imperfect grains, weed seeds and other foreign materials,
having feeding value, separated in cleaning the grain.

Scoxirings consists of such portions of the cuticle, brush, white caps, dust, smut and other
materials as are separated from the grain in the usual commercial process of scouring.

Note. — If to any of the wheat by-product feeds there should be added screenings or scour-
ings, as defined, either ground or unground, bolted or unbolted, such brand shall be so registered,
labeled and sold as clearly to indicate this fact. The word "screenings" or "scourings," as the
case may be, shall appear as a part of the name or brand, and shall be printed in the same size
and face of type as the remainder of the brand name. When the word "screenings" appears it is
not necessary to show also on the labeling the word "scourings."

These definitions if followed in the labeling of wheat by-products, especially in the
case of wheat middlings, would do away with considerable confusion. At the present
time it is much safer for the consumer to purchase either standard or flour middlings
by their appearance rather than by the name under which they are sold. Wheat mixed
feed also varies to a greater or less extent, especially in flour middlings content, and
it is believed that much of the wheat mixed feed sold is a blended product rather than
mill run. The product sold as wheat mixed feed by the Portland Flouring Mills was
very largely wheat bran, while Fancy, Planet and Wirthmore wheat mixed feeds
consisted of a mixture of wheat bran and flour middlings.

Rye Feeds.

Three samples of rye feed were collected which were of good quality.

The Cereal Meals.

The straight cereal meals examined were all of good qualit3^ Two samples of
corn feed meal, a by-product from the manufacture of corn flour and table meal, some-
what resembled hominy feed in composition.

24

The Hominy Feeds.

There were twenty-two brands of hominy feeds represented, which mth few ex-
ceptions maintained their guarantees, although the samples from the Bloomington
Mills and E. Crosby & Co. more nearly resembled corn meal than hominy feed.

Dried Beet Pulp.

Dried beet pulp at the present time comes from the sugar beet districts of the
West, or is imported from Europe and is sold either with or without an admixture of
beet molasses. The addition of beet molasses probably renders the beet pulp some-
what more palatable, although it does not cause a material diiference in its chemical
analysis or feeding value. Beet pulp that has been dried almost to the point of char-
ring is not palatable and should be avoided. All of the beet pulp collected was of good
quality except one sample guaranteed by Charles Pope. This particular lot contained
pieces of undried beets, some as large as English walnuts, which rendered the entire
mass subject to fermentation.

Oat Feed.

Oat feed is the by-product from the milling of rolled oats, and is used extensively
as a component of mixed feeds. Its feeding value is fully discussed iu Bulletin No.
200 of this Experiment Station.

Prepared Feeds.

Under this heading is listed a group of feeds consisting of a mixture of two or more
grains or grain by-products, either in the attempt to make a more satisfactory ration,
or in order to make low-grade material more salable.

Cottonseed Feed.

But two samples of this material, known by the name of "77" feed, were col-
lected. They consisted of an admixture of cottonseed meal and cottonseed hulls.
Their purchase as a rule is not advised.

Wheat and Rye Mixtures.

Two brands were collected. The Buckeye Feed manufactured by the Quaker Oats
Company is quite generally distributed, while the sale of the E-G Co. feed is more
local. The quality was satisfactory.

Dairy Feeds.

The dairy feeds are usually sold as complete rations for milch cows. Different
brands will probably vary as much in chemical composition as home-mixed rations.
Many of the dairy feeds contain nothing but excellent materials; in others one or
more low-grade products are introduced. Below is found a list of the dairy feeds col-
lected and analyzed, so grouped as to indicate the presence of low-grade material
shown by the manufacturer's registration on file at the Experiment Station. The
first group consists of unregistered feeds which are either products new to the Massa-
chusetts markets, or found on the market so seldom that no attempt was made to
have manufacturers register them during the present year. The manufacture of cer-
tain other brands under this first group has been discontinued.

Of the feeds enumerated in the preceding table as containing low-grade products,
Buffalo Creamery Feed, Paragon Dairy Feed, Uncle John's "20" Cow Feed, Big Q
Dairy Ration and Golden Grist Dairy Ration contained oat hulls present in the oat
feed which formed part of the admixture.

Vigor Dairy Feed and Domino Creamery Feed contained grain screenings. Grain
screenings may vary greatly in their nutritive value and palatability, depending upon
the amount of waste grain they contain.

Eshelman's 16J Dairy Feed contained both oat hulls and grain screenings; Seavey's
"24" Dairy Ration, cocoa shell meal; and the Quarto Dairy Feed, velvet bean pods.

It is believed that dairy feeds to which have been added products of high fiber
content and low digestibility, such as oat hulls, or material of doubtful feeding value,
such as grain screenings, should be bought, if at all, at a somewhat low^er price than
prepared feeds which contain nothing but high-grade products.

Molasses Feeds.

There appear to be two fairly well-defined types of molasses feeds. One contains
15 or more per cent of protein, consists of one or more inferior products mixed with
molasses and other feeding stuffs, and is usually sold as dairy feeds; the second group
contains less than 15 per cent of protein, and for the greater part consists of whole or
coarsely ground grains, alfalfa meal and molasses.

Hog Feeds.

Fourteen brands of hog and pig feeds were collected. They contained a wide
variety of materials, and it is doubtful if any of them are superior to a mixture of
ground oats, corn meal and middlings and 5 to 10 per cent of high-grade feeding tank-
age. Their use is not advised unless they can be purchased at a cost lower than the
above mixture.

Calf Meals.

The calf meals collected were composed of a wide variety of materials and sold at
from 5 to 7-g cents a pound. Where skim milk is not available, any of the calf meals
analyzed would probably serve for the purpose intended, although the more com-
plicated formulas will not probably prove any more satisfactory than the simpler.
Ryde's and Tioga brands contained cottonseed meal. Evidence is on record indicating
that cottonseed meal is not a safe feed for young calves; neither is it believed that cocoa
shell meal, as found in Stevens' Milkade or Ryde's Cream Calf Meal, is of material
benefit. Fenugreek and anise, also found in these two meals, may have some slight
stimulating effect on the stomach digestion.

Where skim milk is available, calves can be raised without recourse to the calf
meals by adding flour middlings or meals of the cereal grains to the skim milk as a
carbohydrate substitute for the butter fat removed in skimming.

Miscellaneous Feeds.

The three feeds noted below can best be classed as wheat mixed feed substitutes.
Welden Feed and Green Tag Mixed Feed were both excellent products and consisted
of a mixture of wheat and corn products. Golden Grist Mixed Feed consisted of
wheat feed as a base, together with oat feed and other by-products.

Mixed Cereal Meals.

Several brands of provender (corn and oats) and one brand of corn, oats and barley
(Monopoly Feed) are reported. They were free from adulteration, and can be con-
sidered as satisfactory as the cereal meals from which they are made.

Stock and Horse Feeds.

Mix 500 or 600 pounds of oat feed (oat hulls, shorts and middlings) with enough
corn and hominy meal or similar material of low fiber content to form 1 ton, and the
result will be a typical stock or horse feed. The products analyzed and found to con-
tain 10 per cent or more of fiber contain a more liberal proportion of oat feed, or else
poor judgment has been used in selecting material with which to mix it. While oat
feed has been found to be slightly superior to mixed hay in feeding value, its analysis
indicates that it should be classed as a roughage and not as a concentrate, and its
value either in a mixture or by itself should be judged on this basis.

28

Poultry Feeds.
Alfalfa Meal.

The three samples of alfalfa meal collected were of normal quality. Its nutritive
value in the poultry ration is not great in the dry state, as it is not readily digested on
account of its high fiber content, neither is it well relished by poultry. It may, how-
ever, form a source of "vitamines," — certain unknown chemical substances which
recent experiments have shown to be necessary in the diet. It is believed, however,
that preference should be given to uncured crops, such as cabbage, mangels, green
grass, sprouted oats or other leafy material.

Poultry Mashes and Meals.

The chief advantage of the prepared poultry mashes is that they are intended to
furnish in convenient form all of the material that the poultryman may wish to feed in
a mash and obviate the trouble of assembling and mixing the various ingredients.
A reasonable objection to them is that the successful feeder may wish at different
seasons and under different conditions to vary the material fed, which he is unable to
do when a ready mixed mash is used.

In any event, the purchaser should look closely to the list of ingredients, as guar-
anteed, and not be too greatlj^ influenced by the advertising pertaining to the products
in question.

Animal Products.

The principal role of meat and meat and bone scrap or meal is to furnish animal
protein in a convenient form. Avoid tainted material carrying a disagreeable odor.
In the purchase of this material analysis and condition should carry fully as much
weight as price.

The sample of No. 1 Meat Scraps, manufactured by J. A. Torrey, carried a fat
content of 31.21 per cent, which is so abnormal as to cause doubt of its being common
to this brand, but rather due to failure to extract the usual amount of fat from this
particular lot.

The bone meals collected were of good quality.

The fish products found in limited amounts are satisfactory substitutes for the
meat products when made from undecomposed material and free from salt, but the
price should correspond closely to that of meat scraps of equal protein content.

WHAT IS WHEAT MIXED FEED?

According to the definition adopted by the Association of Feed Control Officials,
"Wheat Mixed Feed (Mill Run Wheat Feed) consists of pure wheat bran and the
gray or total shorts or flour middlings combined in the proportion obtained in the
usual process of commercial milling." In other words, it should be the combined
residual product of the flour mill exclusive of screenings. In order to determine ap-
proximately the proportions of wheat bran, standard and flour middlings found in the
wheat mixed feed sold in Massachusetts markets, an attempt was made to separate
the several ingredients by means of sieves. Two sieves were used: A, with 1 milli-
meter, and B, with ^ millimeter, perforations. Sieve A retained the bran, while the
standard and flour middlings passed through. Sieve B retained the standard middlings
and the flour middlings passed through. While this method is not exact, in that fine
bran and standard middlings to a certain extent passed through the sieves intended to
retain them, it is believed that the results are at least indicative of the amount of the
bran, standard and flour middlings in the products examined. The table following
gives the percentage of ingredients found in several brands of wheat mixed feed by the
method above described : —

1 Sample too small for analysis.

The results obtained indicate that products sold as wheat mixed feeds vary to a
greater extent than can be readily accounted for through different methods of milling
or the quality of the wheat milled. On the other hand, different samples of the same
brand appear to be quite uniform. It is believed that many brands are blends made
by the manufacturers and are not mill run; in fact, some of these blends undoubtedly
contain more digestible nutrients than straight mill run products. Mill run mixed
feed will probably contain about 60 per cent wheat bran, 25 per cent standard and 15
per cent flour middlings, although considerable latitude should be allowed in making
standards for the product.

Any definition for wheat mixed feed should not only include a statement as to
what it is, but also state the percentage of bran and middlings of both grades that it
may contain.

SOME MORE RECENT ASPECTS OF ANIMAL NUTRITION.

The Composition of Proteins.

Early investigators in animal nutrition believed that all proteins, in so far as their
utilization in the animal was concerned, were alike. More recently, chemists and
physiologists have discovered that this is not the case, but that different proteins are
made up of complex nitrogenous material which in the process of digestion is broken
up into simpler forms known as amino acids, and that these acids vary in kind, depend-
ing upon the proteins from which they are derived. It is from these simpler compounds
or acids that the animal builds up living tissue, and it is entirely possible that a ration
fulfilling all the requirements of a feeding standard may lack some needed acid or
acids not present in the proteins of the ration, with the result that the protein in the
particular ration proves unsatisfactory for growth. More study will be necessary
before definite ad\ice can be given.

Vitamines.

It has also been discovered possible to formulate rations which, while they supply
sufficient protein and energy, do not promote the normal functions of growth and
reproduction on account of the lack of small amounts of certain substances known as
vitamines. To the lack of vitamines in the diet are also attributed certain diseases,
such as beriberi of tropical countries.

From the standpoint of animal nutrition it is only necessary to understand that the
essential vitamines are to be found both in milk and in the leaves of plants, and only
when the animal's diet is very abnormal is the vitamine content likely to prove de-
ficient. By feeding very young stock, with more or less milk and fine hay, and the
older animals with haj^, pasture grass and grain mixtures, little trouble is likely to be
experienced from lack of vitamines. Fresh green material is rich in vitamines.

Ash Requirements of Milch Cows.

It has been demonstrated that calcium and phosphorus, particularly the former,
are sometimes deficient in rations, and that cows giving a large flow of milk find it
impossible to assimilate sufficient mineral matter from the daily ration. Of the feed-
ing stuffs commonly used the legume hays, such as clover or alfalfa, beet pulp and
pasture grass, are comparatively rich in calcium, and if fed in liberal quantities will
usually supply sufficient calcium to fulfill the necessary requirements. The feeding
of such inorganic materials as bone meal and calcium chloride does not seem to
prove effective in supplying the ash deficienc3^

It is not believed that the' newer knowledge thus far secured affects seriously the
underlying principles relating to the chemical or energy requirements of animals, but
that this knowledge simply supplements such standards. With these facts in mind
it may be well to repeat that all proteins are not alike in value, and that a definite
amount of one may have a higher degree of efficiency than another; hence certain

32

combinations may serve a better purpose than others. Furthermore, that vitamines
— unknown chemical substances — are essential to growth, and that certain feeds
may contain more than do others. Finally, that in the case of heavy milking cows
liberal feeding, especially with legume hays and green feed, is advised, particularly
during the few months previous to the birth of the calf, in order to enable the animal
to nourish its foetus and to replace its depleted mineral reserve.

CONTROL SERIES BULLETIN No. 16 NOVEMBER, 1921

MASSACHUSEHS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS

By H. D. Haskins, L. S. Walker and R. W. Swift

During the year ending July 1, 1921, Massachusetts farmers
purchased 61,013 tons of commercial fertilizer at an estimated cost
of $3,580,000. Mixed complete fertilizers and ammoniated mixtures
made up nearly two-thirds of this total; unmixed materials, one-
third. This bulletin reports the results of chemical control work
carried on by the State for the purpose of insuring that fertilizers
sold to her farmers are what they are claimed to be. During the
season 7,000 quantitative determinations have been made, repre-
senting 544 brands, 47 of which showed a commercial shortage
of more than $1 per ton. The cost of this protective work was
approximately one-third of one per cent of the selling price of
the product.

Requests for bulletins should be addressed to the

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

MANUFACTURERS AND BRANDS.

During the season of 1921, 87 manufacturers, importers and dealers, including the
various branches or subsidiaries of the larger companies, have secured certificates for
the sale of 548 brands of fertilizer and fertilizing materials in the markets of Massa-
chusetts. They may be classed as follows : —

Complete fertilizers ....
Pulverized manures ....
Ammoniated superphosphates
Superphosphate and potash
Ground bone, tankage and dry ground fish

A few of the registered brands were not collected. In some cases this was due to
the fact that no sales were made; in others, that but a small tonnage was sold and
this was apphed to the soil before the collectors were able to secure samples. The

A number of manufacturers, brokers, or shippers, with offices outside of the State,
have sold their products for fertilizing purposes without proper registration. Many
of these were shippers of cottonseed meal, some of the brands which they handled
being registered within the State for feeding purposes. Others were fertihzer brokers
dealing in crude stock materials and chemicals and selling direct to the consumer.

It is hoped that all fertilizer consumers or agents will satisfy themselves before buying
that the fertilizer products which they purchase are properly registered at this office.
It is only when properly registered fertilizer products are purchased that protection
can be secured through the inspection. It should be borne in mind by the prospective
local agent that if be seUs a fertilizer product which is not properly registered by the
manufacturer or shipper, he will be held personally responsible for the payment of
both the registration and tonnage fees due the State. A list of the manufacturers
who have registered fertilizers in the State during the past season, together with their
addresses, -odll be found at the end of this bulletin.

COLLECTION OF FERTILIZERS.

The sampling of fertilizer during the season has been in charge of three experienced
men who were assigned territory as follows: Mr. James T. Howard, Hampshire,
Hampden, Franklin and Berkshire counties; Mr. Byron D. Raymond, Middlesex,
Suffolk, Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth and Barnstable counties; and Mr. George H.
Kelton, Worcester and Essex counties. But little difficulty was experienced in finding
plenty of fertilizer throughout the State, although stocks were small, quite likely due
to the relatively high prices which prevailed for mixed goods. Many farmers who were
in the habit of buying mixed goods bought chemicals and crude stock materials, due
to the more favorable prices for these commodities as quoted by various farmers' ex-
changes as well as by small brokerage firms.

The following statistics have been gathered with reference to the year's collection:
21,859 sacks were sampled, representing 10,567 tons of fertilizer and fertilizing ma-
terials; 199 towns were visited; 1,504 samples, representing 553 distinct brands,
were drawn from stock found in possession of 546 agents or owners; 302 agents were
called upon who had discontinued handling fertilizer.

FERTILIZER VALUATIONS.

The season of 1920-21 has registered a most remarkable decline in quotations on
fertilizer chemicals and crude stock materials. Most of these commodities are now
being offered at wholesale for prices which correspond favorably with prices during
pre-war times. The following table gives the wholesale quotations during the six
months preceding March 1, 1921, as compared with more recent prices (Sept. 26,
1921), as taken from the "Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter:" —

The unsettled conditions which have prevailed in the fertilizer trade have un-
questionably made it a very trying period for the fertilizer manufacturer who was
obliged to provide for his needs several months in advance. This naturallj^ left him
with stocks of mixed goods assembled from crude stock products bought several
months previously on a high market. The relatively high prices for mixed goods as
compared with unmixed fertilizing materials which prevailed at the opening of the
spring trade was perhaps not unexpected. Although the earlier purchaser of mixed
goods was given the assurance of the manufacturer that he would benefit by any
later reduction in prices, nevertheless he was reluctant to buy his usual tonnage, and
not unfrequently he turned to unmixed products for his plant food. Prices very
favorable to the consumer have prevailed for chemicals and crude stock materials,
although, with the exception of acid phosphate, these products have not been par-
ticularly featured by the average manufacturer of mixed goods.

The fertilizer trade values given in the table are somewhat in excess of prices
which actually prevailed during the spring. It is but fair, however, to the manu-
facturer that the six months' average be adopted, for the reason that much of the
stock which went into his fertilizer mixtures was bought during the previous fall or
summer. The trade values were figured from the average wholesale quotations for
cash of standard crude stock materials in New England, New York and New Jersey
markets, plus about 20 per cent, as given in the trade journals for the six months
preceding March 1, 1921,

FERTILIZER TONNAGE.

The following summary gives the tonnage of mixed and unmixed fertilizers which
was sold from July 1, 1920, to July 1, 1921, as compared with the tonnage sold during
the same period for the previous year : —

July 1, 1919, to
July 1, 1920.

From the above data it appears that the consumption of mixed fertilizers was
7,041 tons less than for 1920, while for chemicals and unmixed fertilizing materials
it was about 6,938 tons more than for the previous year. This is not unexpected,
in view of the much more favorable prices which prevailed for the unmixed products.

1 Three analyses made. All samples well up to the guarantee except one which showed a commercial shortage
of S21.65 per ton. This shortage was explained by Mr. Higgins as follows: It was necessary to standardize or
reduce a high-grade muriate of potash salt; through an error too much make-weight material was used. The
deficiency was properly adjusted as soon as discovered.

E. Wood Ashes.

From July 1, 1920, to July 1, 1921, 947 tons of wood ashes were sold in Massa-
chusetts. The average price paid per ton was about $27.71. Allowing for the lime
and phosphoric acid the same price that these two ingredients actually cost in form
of precipitated bone and fine ground limestone, the average cost of total potassium
oxide from wood ashes has been 24.7 cents per pound. This is hardly an economical
buy in view of the fact that a pound of water soluble potash has sold on the average
for six months ending March 1, 1921, for about 12.7 cents. At present the cost of
a pound of actual potash from high-grade sulfate is about 7.5 cents.

The table gives the average analyses of wood ashes inspected during the season
of 1921.

1 Twenty-six analyses made, showing a wide range of composition, though all samples substantially met the
guarantee. The guarantee has little significance, however, as ashes are usually sold on the basis of the analysis.

F. Pulverized Animal Manures.

From July 1, 1920, to July 1, 1921, 2,215 tons of pulverized sheep manure were
sold in Massachusetts at an average price of $54.64 per ton, the average commercial
valuation being $19.98 per ton. About three-foiirths of the nitrogen in these products
is in water insoluble form, and shows a relatively low activity by both laboratory
methods. The potash, although not all soluble in water, would probably be readily
available, as would the phosphoric acid, depending upon the rate of decomposition
of the manure in the soil. Although these products are dried and ground and naturally
more concentrated than farm manure in its natural state, yet the evaporation of
water and the pulverization of the product do not alter the proportions of the different
plant food constituents present.

The year's inspection of this class of products shows many deficiencies and not a
few commercial shortages. Serious deficiencies are emphasized by boldface type.

1 Two analyses made.

- Five analyses made. Commercial shortages ranging from $1.05 to $2.20 on four samples; less than $1 on one
sample.

3 Ten analyses made. Commercial shortages ranging from $1.52 to $2.26 on seven samples; less than $1 on the
other three samples.

In the case of the "Groz-It" Pulverized Sheep Manure, it was found necessary to
cancel the registration of the product and to oblige the company to lower their guar-
antee of nitrogen and phosphoric acid on stocks already shipped into the State, as
the shortages were found common to all of the stocks inspected. The company has

18

taken out a new registration on the product, with a lower guarantee. The Rams
Head Brand Sheep Manure was found to be from the same source as the "Groz-It"
brand, and showed equally low tests for nitrogen and phosphoric acid. The guarantee
was reduced to conform to the composition of the product as soon as deficiencies were
discovered.

(a) Nitrogen.

In high-analysis fertilizers, about 57 per cent of the total nitrogen was in mineral
form, — that is, was derived from nitrates and ammoniates, — and about 87 per cent
of the total nitrogen was found active. In low analysis fertilizers, 43 per cent of the
total nitrogen was in mineral form, and 82 per cent of the total nitrogen was active.

21

(b) Phosphoric Acid.

It will be seen from the table that 83.26 per cent of the total phosphoric acid was
in available form, and 53.62 per cent of the available phosphoric acid was in water
soluble form. Ninety-nine brands (35 per cent of the total number of mixed fertilizers
analyzed) failed to meet their available phosphoric acid guarantee.

(c) Potassium Oxide.

Although the average complete fertilizer contained only .31 per cent more potash
than during the previous year, yet there were fewer brands without potash than for
several years, and brands were offered with potash ranging from fractional percentages
up to 15 per cent.

Thirty-nine brands designated as tobacco mixtures showed an average of .74 per
cent of chlorine, which would be equivalent to 1.56 per cent of muriate of potash.

Character of Plant Food.

(a) Nitrogen.

In those brands which carried a guarantee of 14 per cent or over of available plant
food (high-analysis brands), about 37 per cent of the total nitrogen was in mineral
form, and about 83 per cent of the total nitrogen was in active form. In those brands
which carried less than 14 per cent of available plant food (about 74 per cent of the
total number), about 37 per cent of the total nitrogen was in mineral form, and 77
per cent of the total nitrogen was in active form. The average total nitrogen in all
of the ammoniated superphosphates irrespective of grade had a percentage activity
of 80.32; the average total organic nitrogen had a percentage activity of 68.67; and
the average water insoluble organic nitrogen had a percentage activity of 56.02.

(b) Phosphoric Acid.

The average total phosphoric acid found in ammoniated superphosphates was
9.96 per cent; 75.5 per cent of this was in available form, and of the available phos-
phoric acid, about 60.38 per cent was in water soluble form.

23

BRANDS OF MIXED FERTILIZER SHOWING INFERIOR FORMS OF

NITROGEN.

Out of a total of 323 brands of mLxed fertilizer, 17 (about 5.25 per cent of the
total number) were found to contain organic nitrogen of low activity by the laboratory
methods. Fifteen of these were complete fertilizers and two were ammoniated super-
phosphates. The brands are listed in the following table in which is given the per-
centage activity of th*e water insoluble organic nitrogen by both the alkaline and the
neutral permanganate methods. (The standard for the alkaline permanganate method
is 50 per cent; for the neutral permanganate method, 85 per cent.)

The table does not include the pulverized manures, which from their general
character are known to contain water insoluble organic nitrogen of low activity.

analysis complete fertilizers, ammoniated superphosphates, and phosphate and potash
which were sold in Massachusetts during the season : —

From the above figures it will be seen that about 63 per cent of the complete ferti-
lizers could be classed as high analysis, and 37 as low analysis. In case of the am-
moniated superphosphates, about 35.7 per cent were high analysis and 64.3 per cent
low analysis. These are about the same proportions in both cases as in 1920. With
reference to the tonnage, however, it appears that there were nearly 6,700 tons less
of ammoniated superphosphates sold than during the previous season, although the
proportions in tonnage sold of the high-analysis and low-analysis goods were about
the same. There were about 1,000 tons more high-analysis complete fertilizers sold
than during 1920, and 3,549 tons less of the low-analysis complete fertilizers.

The following table gives the average composition, selling price, commercial valua-
tion, and percentage difference in the high and low analysis complete fertilizers and
ammoniated superphosphates sold during the season, also the average pound cost of
each element of plant food from each source or grade : —

The above table shows that the increase in cost of a pound of mineral nitrogen
has been about 6| cents; of organic nitrogen, 10| cents; of available phosphoric acid,
2 cents; and of potash, 2.8 cents, when derived from brands which furnished less
than 14 per cent of available plant food.

EXPLANATION OF TABLES OF ANALYSES OF MIXED FERTILIZERS.

In the tables headed "Fertilizer Mixtures showing a Commercial Shortage of $1
or more per. Ton," the detailed analyses are given. The column headed "Grade of
Fertilizer" may be explained as follows: a 4-8-6 grade means that the minimum
guarantee was 4 per cent ammonia, 8 per cent available phosphoric acid, and 6 per
cent water soluble potash; a 0-10-5 grade represents a mixture of superphosphate
with potash containing no nitrogen or ammonia, but with a guarantee of 10 per cent
of available phosphoric acid and 5 per cent of water soluble potash; and a 5-4-0

25

grade represents an arnmoniated superphosphate having a minimum guarantee of
5 per cent ammonia, 4 per cent available phosphoric acid and no potash. This empha-
sizes the great educational value of considering any brand of fertilizer in terms of the
amount of plant food which it carries. The use of the expression "ammonia" in this
connection instead of "nitrogen" is to conform to the long-established custom of the
trade of quoting and referring to the element nitrogen in terms of ammonia. To con-
vert ammonia to nitrogen, multiply by the factor .82.

The column headed "Approximate Commercial Shortage per Ton" gives the
approximate valuation per ton of mixture of the deficiencies or shortages which were
discovered by chemical analysis. In arriving at these figures the value of overruns
has been used in all cases to offset shortages. The presence of some samples in this
table which do not show a commercial shortage is explained as follows: when the
original analysis of a composite sample showed serious deficiencies, each sample making
up the composite was later analyzed by itself; in some cases it was discovered that
the shortage was not common to all, but may have been confined to only one sample;
the analysis of each sample is therefore given in order to tell the whole story.

Under "Nitrogen" the column headed "Proportion in Water Soluble Form"
gives that portion of the total nitrogen soluble in water, and includes nitrogen as
nitrates and ammoniates and water soluble organic nitrogen, all of which are readily
available. The column headed "Quality of Organic" tells whether the water in-
soluble organic nitrogen in any given brand tested, according to laboratory methods,
high, medium or low in activity. "Good" indicates a water insoluble organic nitrogen
activity of 55 per cent or over, "Passed" indicates an activity between 50 and 55
per cent. "Inferior" indicates an activity under 50 per cent — all being measured
by the alkaline permanganate method. In all cases where a test has run under 50
per cent by this method, the fertilizer has been tested by the neutral permanganate
method, which gives somewhat more favorable results on organic vegetable am-
moniates. All samples which showed a test of 85 per cent or better by this method
were passed without question, even though the other method may have shown an
activity which placed the sample in the suspicious class.

Footnotes indicate those brands in which any considerable proportion of the
potash is in forms other than muriate.

The remainder of the table wiU be found self-explanatory.

In the tables headed "Fertihzer Mixtures Substantially Complying with the
Guarantee," the presentation of results has been simplified. The headings will be
understood without further explanation. It should be borne in mind that every brand
represented in these tables has been just as carefully analyzed in complete detail as
have those which appear in the previous pages where detailed results are printed.
Moreover, the detailed results will be furnished to any one sufficiently interested to make
applicatioji for the same.

CONTROL SERIES BULLETIN No. 17 DECEMBER, 1921

MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

INSPECTION OF LIME PRODUCTS USED IN
AGRICULTURE

By H. D. Haskins, L. S. Walker and R. W. Swift

Twenty-nine samples, representing seventeen brands of manu-
factured lime, and seventeen samples, representing nine brands
of raw ground limestone, is the record on lime for the 1921 ferti-
lizer control. Of this total of twenty-six brands as represented
by samples taken in the field, all equaled or exceeded the guaran-
tee under which they were sold. Two of the seventeen samples
of ground limestone, however, were not as finely ground as could
be desired. Other than this the 1921 lime trade in Massachusetts
seemed to be on a sound basis in as far as quality of the product
is concerned. This bulletin reports the results of analyses of the
samples drawn.

INSPECTION OF LIME PRODUCTS USED IN AGRI-
CULTURE FOR THE SEASON OF 1921.

BY H. D. HASKINS, CHEMIST IN CHAKGE, ASSISTED BY L. S. WALKER AND
RAYMOND W. SWIFT.

MANUFACTURERS AND BRANDS.

During the season of 1921, 22 different companies secured registration certificates
for the sale of 29 different brands of agricultural lime and 2 brands of gypsum or land
plaster. The following classification indicates the character of these products: —

Caustic lime, .............. 1

Hydrated or slaked lime, ............ 15

Lime ashes, .............. 2

Precipitated lime, ............. 1

Ground limestone, ............. 9

Ground shell lime, ............. 1

Total 29

Gypsum or land plaster, ............ 2

With the exception of 3 samples of agricultural lime and 1 of gypsum, representa-
tive samples of all of the products registered have been secured and analyzed, and
the results appear in the tables of analyses, arranged alphabetically according to
manufacturer's name and brand name.

Effectiveness of Fine Ground Limestone as compared with Hydrated
or Slaked Lime for Soil Improvement.

Without going into the matter exhaustively, it may be said that most of the bene-
fits which follow the use of slaked lime on a soil may be duplicated by the use of ground
limestone when ground so that 80 to 90 per cent of the product passes through an
80 to 100 mesh sieve, and when applied in sufficient quantity to furnish the same
amount of calcium and magnesium oxides. It should 'be remembered that with a
limestone of this degree of fineness much of the product that passes a 100 mesh is
fine enough to pass a 200 mesh screen; further, that its effectiveness depends upon
the surface which is exposed to the action of the soil solution. The significance of this
is apparent when we apply the figures of Dr. H. E. Keiffer, which are to the effect
that a cubic foot of limestone ground to pass a 200-mesh sieve contains 8,000 times
more particles than when ground to pass a 12-mesh sieve; or, expressed in another
way, when applied to the soil at the rate of 1 ton per acre, the 200-mesh product fur-
nishes 13,869,051 pieces and the 12-mesh product only 17,337 pieces per square foot. ^

Degree of Fineness of Ground Limestone and Shell Lime on the

Massachusetts Markets.

With few exceptions the raw ground limestone products which are offered for
agricultural purposes to the Massachusetts trade are in a fairly satisfactory condition
as regards fineness. Of the brands which have been examined, there are but two
which are criticized at this time, and both of these are new products which have but
recently been placed on the market. These are the Producto Brand, put out by
Brewer & Company, and the shell dust lime of the Producers Sales Company. More
thorough grinding, so as to materially increase the amounts passing the finer mesh
sieves, would make these two products more effective.

The chart on the opposite page illustrates graphically the fineness to which the
various brands of raw limestone and shell lime have been ground.

Gypsum or Land Plaster.

Although gypsum or land plaster is a lime compound used in agriculture, and for
this reason comes under the Massachusetts lime law and must therefore be inspected,
yet it should be borne in mind that this form of lime does not possess the property
of neutralizing soil acids.

Two brands of gypsum were registered; one brand was collected and analyzed,
namely, the Ben Franklin Agricultural Gypsum (land plaster), registered and sold by
the United States Gypsum Company, Chicago, 111. It was guaranteed 85 per cent
calcium sulfate. It tested 86.44 per cent calcium sulfate, 5.03 per cent calcium carbon-
ate and .67 per cent magnesium carbonate.

EXPLANATION OF TABLES OF ANALYSES.

The analyses of lime products are presented in two groups. In Table I are found
the brands of caustic, hydrated or slaked, precipitated and air-slaked limes, and of lime
ashes. The first column gives the names of manufacturers and brands. The next
two double columns give the amounts of calcium and magnesium oxides found by
control analyses and guaranteed by the manufacturer. The next single column is
calculated from the detailed chemical analysis, and shows in round numbers the pro-
portion of calcium and magnesium oxides which are present as carbonate, the balance
in each case being either hydrate or caustic lime. The next column gives the calcium
and magnesium oxides in 1 ton of the product, it being assumed that they will all
become available during a five-year period. The last double column shows the cash
cost of 100 pounds of effective oxides, f. o. b. kilns, in minimum car lots, in bulk or in
sacks as the case may be. Quotations furnished by the manufacturers are the basis
for these estimates in all cases.

In Table II are given the brands of raw ground limestone and groimd shell lime.
As in Table I, the first column gives the names of manufacturers and brands. The
next two double columns show the amounts of calcium and magnesium oxides found
and guaranteed. The next double column shows the purity of the product; or, ex-
pressed in another way, the equivalent of calcium and magnesium carbonates as cal-
culated from the detailed analyses and as guaranteed by the producer. The column
headed "Pounds of Effective Oxides in 1 Ton" represents the amounts of calcium and
magnesium oxides which will probably become effective during a five-year period.
The computation is based on both physical and chemical analyses, and, furthermore,
on the assumption that limestone which fails to pass a 20-mesh sieve is only partially
effective within the limits of a five-year period. This assumption is based on experi-
mental evidence. The last double column gives cost data of effective oxides the same
as the corresponding columns in Table I.

In both tables, the numeral in parentheses immediately following the brand name
indicates the number of samples inspected.

In cases where a long haul from the railroad station to the farm is necessary, it is
important that this extra item of expense be carefully considered. It has been esti-
mated by the officials of the National Lime Association that hauling costs about 50
cents per ton for the first mile and 30 cents per ton for each additional mile. This
item might in some cases indicate the desirability of selecting a lime product richer in
calcium and magnesium oxides, even though the initial cost of 100 pounds of its effec-
tive oxides, f. o. b. kilns, might be somewhat greater than for ground limestone or
some of the other lower analysis lime products.

CONTROL OF BACILLARY WHITE DIARRH(EA

1920-1921

By G. E. Gage

Bacillary white diarrhoea is one of the most destructive of conta-
gious poultry diseases. It is one of the few diseases which is passed
on directly from breeding bird to offspring. Laboratory methods
in the examination of blood samples serve as a means of indicating
infected hens which later may be removed from the breeding flock.
The work of inspecting breeding flocks to determine the presence
of bacillary white diarrhoea is now being carried on by the Depart-
ment of Veterinary Science of the Massachusetts Agricultural Ex-
periment Station under a law passed in 1919. The work is done
only on application, on the basis of a fee charged, and is strictly
limited by the size of the appropriation granted by the State. This
report contains a record of the work done under this law for the
year ending Nov. 30, 1921, together with a discussion of its effec-
tiveness and significance.

CONTROL OF BACILLARY WHITE DIARRHCEA,

1920-1921.

BY G. E. GAGE.

PREVIOUS WORK.

The first report of any work on this subject in Massachusetts was pubHshed as
Bulletin No. 148, under the title "On the Diagnosis of Infection with Bacterium Pul-
lorum in the Domestic Fowl." In this paper were presented experiments to determine
the value of testing eggs from suspected hens as a method of diagnosis. It was found
that the elimination of the organism from the ovary was so irregular that it would be
impossible to make a diagnosis within a short time. The results of the apphcation of
the macroscopic agglutination test were also presented. This has proved to be, under
the proper conditions of the test, a good laboratory method for the detection of adult
hens which are harboring, or have harbored, Bacterium 'pullorum.

The second pubhcation was issued in 1915, under the title "Bacillary White Diar-
rhoea {Bacterium Pullorum Infection) in Young Chicks in Massachusetts." At that
time it was found that in all districts of Massachusetts there was a heavy infection
among adult breeding birds, and that it was generally scattered over the State. The
paper was published at that time to make poultrymen aware of the prevalence of the
disease and to enlist their interest and willingness to co-operate in every way to ehm-
inate it.

Ovarian infection has been conclusively demonstrated and it is known that chicks
which survive frequently become permanent bacillus carriers, the ovary being the
important seat of infection. Eggs from such carriers often harbor the organism of
the disease in the yolk. Chicks that develop in infected eggs become in turn infected
and may have the disease at time of hatching. The disease may be transmitted to
normal chicks through infected droppings, thus producing an epidemic, and the cycle
of infection is completed.

Since it has been definitely proved that Bactervmn 'pullorum is the causative factor
in this disease, and that eggs may gain infection from infected ovaries, the infected
individual must be sought and eliminated from the breeding flock. This is the only real
basis for improvement. The macroscopic agglutination test has aided in this direc-
tion, and the results of our control tests to-day depend upon the application of it to
the work of epidemiology in the field. Although we have found a very widely dis-
tributed infection, we have never tried to discourage present or prospective poultry
raisers, but with our control problem under way it is hoped to encourage greater
effort in the industry.

SERVICE RENDERED UNDER THE POULTRY DISEASE ELIMI-
NATION LAW.

The operations of our work in the State up to the present time are conducted in a
way not greatly different from the method instituted when the work was first begun
in 1915. The program at that time was to locate and identify the infection in various
flocks. During the 1920-21 season blood serum from 24,718 birds was examined for
the indications of the specific agglutinins elaborated by Bacterium -pxdloruni.

With the present laboratory workers and field assistants, and the inadequate funds,
it has been impossible to do much more than make a diagnosis, and the expression
"tested stock" has not necessarily meant that all birds on a poultry plant were free
from infection. It may mean that every breeding bird has been tested and all reac-
tors removed from the breeding pen, or it may be that the department has applied
the test at a given poultry plant and the poultryman holds a record that certain birds
have been tested. There are many instances where poultrymen have some breeding
birds tested and others not tested, which has led to great confusion between the labo-
ratory and field, and has consequently made great difficulties for us in assisting poul-
trymen toward the end of eUmination of the disease.

Work under the poultry disease elimination law cannot be on an entirely sound
basis until such time as the difficulties above described are eliminated. Plainly, the
law in question requires such form of organization as will enable us to practically
get rid of certain diseases in the poultry flocks of the State. In the forthcoming year,
therefore, service under this law wiU be given only on the condition that the recipi-
ents of the service agree to comply with certain rules and regulations designed to fur-
ther the work of eUmination, and agree, furthermore, to refrain from using the fact
of the test for advertising purposes until such time as their flocks can be certified as
being practically free from contagious white diarrhoea.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE POULTRY DISEASE ELIMINATION
LAW DURING THE SEASON ENDING NOV. 30, 1921.

During the season 1920-21, 24,718 breeding birds have been examined by the
macroscopic agglutination test. The following tables ^vill show the geographical
distribution of the various breeds tested, the geographical distribution of the infec-
tion as determined by the 1920-21 testing work, and the distribution of infection
among various breeds, together with the classification of the sizes of flocks tested,
and a table showing the number of flocks having certain limits of infection : —

REDUCING INFECTION.

A degree of success is being attained each year as regards elimination. From a
review of the data obtained during the last year, there is evidence of improvement
among the breeding flocks in the State as a result of the testing work.

During this period, 1920-21, 35 poultry farms, doing business in selhng eggs for
hatching and selling day-old chicks, have been found by the test to be free from

bacillary white diarrhoea. On these places there are 9,260 breeding birds composed of
White Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks, White Leghorns, Buff Orpingtons,
and White Wyandottes. These clean flocks are located in Hampden, Hampshire,
Frankhn, Norfolk, Bristol, Worcester and Middlesex counties.

It has been difficult to get clear line data on many flocks known to have the infec-
tion, since many poultrymen are careless about bujang untested breeding stock even
after a test has been made. This sort of thing will undo all our efforts to assist such
poultrymen to eliminate the disease. However, there are flocks harboring heavy in-
fection where attempts have been made to carry the test through with the anticipation
of eliminating the disease. The following table, classifying 15 places, is of interest : —

It can be readily seen from the table that it is not an easy matter to rid flocks
of this disease, especially if the original infection is great. It is always a question what
avenue to suggest for a poultryman to follow in order to attain success, — whether
it shall be elimination of all birds showing heavy infection, or that he stay with the
testing through subsequent tests upon the progeny, and progeny of the progeny. It
has been urged by the State authorities in Connecticut that if immediate relief is
desired a tested flock in which more than 2 per cent of the birds have been shown by

8

the agglutination test to be reactors be rejected as breeders. The data obtained here
indicate that if breeders would attend scrupulously to the details of management
after the first test has been made, eradication in a given flock would come after a
second test on original stock or a second test on the progeny.

FLOCK CERTIFICATION.

If certification of stock be given only to owners of breeding flocks which have shown
no indications of bacillary white diarrhoea, and into which no new stock showing
reactors by the agglutination test has been introduced, centers of breeding stock
would be estabhshed for the dissemination of non-infected hatching eggs and day-
old chicks. It should be a rule that new birds would not be admitted to a certified
flock except from other certified flocks. Under this plan the department would not
enter into the testing work to the end of granting a certificate unless sufficient assur-
ance were given that every provision of the plan would be carried out as outUned.

In conclusion it inight be stated that the results of the 1920-21 season of the ser\dce
rendered under the operations of the poultry disease ehmination law have been highly
satisfactory under the conditions in vogue during this period. The work has shown,
however, that, if it is continued as a purely commercial project, bacillary wliite diar-
rhoea will never be held in check or eliminated. Real ser\dce under the law as worded,
"poultry disease elimination law," can come only through scientific efforts, executed
by scientific men in a scientific institution, and not through a commercial estabhsh-
ment.

INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FEEDSTUFFS

By Philip H. Smith and Ethel M. Bradley

This bulletin contains the results of the feeding stuff inspection
for the year ending September 1, 1922. In addition will be found
an article on ** Home Mixed Rations for Dairy Stock." Two tables,
one showing the average analyses and retail ton prices of unmixed
by-products found in the Massachusetts markets, and the other a
tabulated list of the wholesale cost of feedstuffs for the year, based
upon the Boston rate, are also given.

Requests for bulletins should be addressed to the

INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FEEDSTUFFS.

BY PHILIP H. SMITH AND ETHEL M. BRADLEY, CHEMISTS, AND JAMES T. HOWARD,

INSPECTOR.

Introduction.

During the year (Sept. 1, 1921, to Sept. 1, 1922) 1,108 samples of feeding stuffs
collected of dealers and manufacturers were analyzed and are reported in this bulletin.
Two hundred and seventy-nine dealers located in 177 towns were visited at least once.
One thousand three hundred and seventy-six brands of feeding stuffs were registered
for sale in Massachusetts by 247 manufacturers.

Changes in the Feeding Stuff Law.

It is believed that the number of registrations for the coming year will be consider-
ably less owing to a recent amendment to the feeding stuff law requiring an annual
registration fee of $20 a brand. Up to the present time there has been no charge for
registration. This amendment, which went into effect Aug. 9, 1922, follows: —

Chapter 400.

An Act relative to the Registration and Sale of Commercial Feeding Stuff.
Be it enacted, etc., as follows:

Section 1. Chapter ninety-four of the General Laws is hereby amended by striking out
section two hundred and twenty-seven and inserting in place thereof the following: — • Section 227.
No manufacturer, importer or other person shall sell or offer, expose or keep for sale or distribute
any commercial feeding stuff, until he has filed with the director or his authorized deputy for
registration, a copy certified by him to be a true copy of the tag or label required by the two pre-
ceding sections, excepting the item as to the number of pounds, for each brand of feeding stuff
to be sold or offered, exposed or kept for sale or distributed and has paid to said director or hia
authorized deputy a registration fee of twenty dollars for each such brand. No agent or other
person shall be obliged to file a copy of the tag or label of, or pay a registration fee for, any brand
of feeding stuff, for which a copy of the tag or label has been filed and the registration fee paid by
the manufacturer or importer of such brand and for which a certificate of registration has been
issued.

Section 2. Section two hundred and twenty-eight of said chapter ninety-four is hereby
amended by inserting after the word "deputy" in the fourth Hne the words: — , and said regis-
tration fee paid to him, — and also by inserting after the word " and " in the ninth Hne the words:
— , upon payment to him of said registration fee, — so as to read as follows: — Section 228. A
certified copy of the tag or label required by any provision of sections two hundred and twenty-
five to two hundred and thirty-five, inclusive, shall be filed for registration with the director or
his authorized deputy, and said registration fee paid to him, prior to January first in each year
for each brand of commercial feeding stuff to be sold or offered, exposed or kept for sale or dis-
tributed during the year beginning with said January first. The director or his authorized deputy
may thereafter permit a manufacturer, importer or other person to file a copy of the tag or label
of a brand of feeding stuff, and, upon payment to him of said registration fee, may register the
same for said year in accordance with the rules and regulations which are prescribed by the
director.

Section 3. Said chapter ninety-four is hereby further amended by striking out section two
hundred and twenty-nine and inserting in place thereof the following: — Section 229. When the
certified copy of the tag or label of any Ijrand of commercial feeding stuff has been filed as "pro-
vided in the two preceding sections and said registration fee has been paid, the director or his
authorized deputy shall register such tag or label if he finds the same to be in accordance with the
requirements of sections two hundred and twenty-five to two hundred and thirty-five, inclusive,
and shall issue, or cause to be is.sued, a certificate of such registration. The certificate shall
authorize the sale of the brand of feeding stuff for which it is issued, up to and including December
thirty-first of the year for which it is issued. All registration fees received under this and the
preceding section by the director or his authorized deputy shall be paid to the commonwealth.
[Approved May 11, 1922.

Limitations of Chemical Analyses.

From time to time criticism is made of the feeding stuff law by certain feed manu-
facturers and consumers, principally on account of the fact that the mere guarantee of
chemical composition and statement of ingredients required do not give all the infor-
mation desired. While it is true that more recent investigations indicate tliat a ration
should be compounded with reference not only to its chemical composition but also to
its net energ>^ value, its mineral content (particularly calcium and phosphorus), proteins
from different sources and essential vitamines, yet the chemical composition, as meas-
ured by water, ash, protein, fat, fiber and nitrogen free extract, still remains the basis
of all feeding standards. While the newer knowledge may amplify and in some in-
stances change old ideas, there is no method of formulating rations based on scientific
investigation which does not take into consideration their chemical composition. A
guarantee of the percentage of digestible material in a feeding stuff would be more
useful, but is impracticable because of the expense of determining the accuracy of such
guarantees. The guarantee of protein, fat and fiber, and, in case of compounded feeds,
an additional statement of the ingredients used, is a good indication of the quality of
the feeding stuff, and is bound to be of value to any intelligent feeder.

Such a guarantee does not prohibit the sale of some less desirable products, providing
they have some food value and are not injurious. The fact that a feeding stuff is re-
ported in a bulletin as meeting its guarantee in every particular does not prove it to be
a high-grade material, neither does it insure that every shipment sold will comply with
its guarantee, it l^eing impossible to examine and sample everj^ sack or lot placed upon
the market.

Inspection of Unmixed By-Products.
The Oil Cake Meals (Cottonseed, Linseed, and Peanut).

The average quality of cottonseed meal was found to be sUghtly better than for the
preceding year. Increased sales in meal guaranteed to contain 43 per cent of protein
were noted. Average results show but two brands below their protein guarantee, and
these only a fraction of 1 per cent. Cottonseed meal is sold by manufacturers and
wholesalers on the basis of its protein content, the different grades containing 36, 38J,
41 and 43 per cent protein. The average retail ton price of the different grades col-
lected follows: —

36 per cent protein ............ $52 31

41 per cent protein . . . . . . . . . . . . 53 33

43 per cent protein . . . . . . . . . , . . 55 50

These figures indicate that retailers in selling are governed more or less closely by the
price of purchase. The low protein meals (36 per cent) contain more of the indi-
gestible fiber and are less economical than the better grades.

Linseed meal was better than for 1921, when the quality of the seed crushed yielded
a product containing less protein and more fiber than normal.

But one lot of peanut meal was found. It compared favorably in composition with
the best grade of cottonseed meal, and, at the price asked, could be considered a satisfac-
tor}' substitute. In niaking the better grades of peanut oil the shell is removed before
crushing, and the resulting meal is much to be preferred to the meal containing the
kernel and shell crushed together. The sample examined was of the former quality.

The Corn Gluten Products (Gluten Meal and Gluten Feeds).

Diamond corn gluten meal, the only brand offered in Massachusetts, is a pure corn
by-product consisting largely of the protein of the corn kernel after the elimination of
considerable of the starch and most of the bran and germ. It was sold at about the
same price as cottonseed meal, for which it could be substituted in a ration.

Gluten feed is gluten meal plus corn bran, some corn germ and corn starch. The
Success brand of gluten feed reported in the tabulation, while made by a somewhat
different process and having a different appearance, has approximately the same feed-
ing value. All samples collected practically conformed to or exceeded their guarantees.

Brewery, Distillery and Yeast Factory By-Products.

Farmer Jones distillers' grains, the only brand found, was of excellent quality.

The three brands of dried brewers' grains showed a wide variation in protein con-
tent, the Bull brand falling decidedly below its guarantee.

Yeast grains, a product from the Fleischmann Company, are the dried residues
derived from a mixture of several grains and cereal by-products used in propagating
the yeast plant. The sample reported somewhat resembles low^-grade brewers' grains
in composition and feeding value.

26

The Wheat By-Products (Middlings, Bran and Mixed Feed).

The Association of Feed Control Officials have adopted tentatively the following
maximum fiber standards for the various grades of middlings, and these standards are
used in this bulletin as a basis for classification regardless of the name adopted by the
manufacturer: —

Standard middlings
Flour middlings
Red Dog flour
Brown shorts
Gray shorts .
White shorts .

Maximum Fiber
{Per Cent).

9.5

6.0

4.0

6.5

5.5

3.5

The maximum fiber content set for wheat mixed feeds is 8.5 per cent. None of the
samples exammed exceeded this amount.

The wheat brans examined were of good quality, but varied to a considerable extent
in composition. This variation is probably due to two factors, — the kind of wheat
milled, and the efficiency of the milling process employed.

There is no class of feeding stuffs where the eye can be used to better advantage
in selection than the wheat by-products. Flour middlings should contain a liberal
amount of low-grade flour; standard middlings and brown shorts, enough middlings
to indicate that they are not finely ground bran; while wheat mixed feed, supposedly
the mill run of all the wheat by-products, should show the presence of considerable
middlings. Wheat bran, as well as all of the other wheat products, should be reason-
ably free from screenings, which are readily detected by the dark color of the mixture,
as well as by the characteristic odor imparted by the weed seeds.

Rye Feeds.

The two samples of rye feed collected were of good quality. They are nearly as
digestible as flour middlings, for which they can partially be substituted in dairy
rations. They are also very desirable as a feed for hogs.

The Cereal Meals.

All samples collected were found to be unadulterated.

Hominy Feeds.

The twentj^ brands examined were all of good quality. Their principal variation
appeared to be in fat content, due to the proportion of corn germ incorporated. Hominy
feed is an excellent substitute for corn meal, especially during the spring and summer
months, when corn meal has a tendency to cause trouble through heating.

Dried Beet Pulp.

The favorable influence of beet pulp, especially with cows on forced feeding for
advanced registry records, is too well known to require comment. The samples ex-
amined were of good quality and varied but slightly in composition. In purchasing,
avoid beet pulp that has been dried at such a high temperature as to be nearly black
in color.

27

H/Iiscellaneous By-Products.

None of the by-products under this heading are in general use. Barley feed, of
which two samples were collected, came into prominence during the war. At the
present time very little is offered. The lot put out by the Quaker Oats Company
more nearly resembled barley meal m composition. Corn feed meal is a by-product
from the milling of corn, somewhat resembling hominy feed in composition. Oat feed
should be classed as a roughage rather than as a concentrate on account of its high
fiber content. Its principal outlet is as an ingredient of stock feeds. Mellin's Food
Residue is, as the name indicates, a by-product from the manufacture of Mellin's Food.
It has not over 90 per cent of the nutritive value of wheat bran, and its principal value
would be to give bulk to a ration. If used as a bran substitute, however, a ration would
require a little more of the high protein feeds in order to compensate for its lower
protein content.

Inspection of Prepared Feeds.

Under this heading is listed a group of feeds consisting of two or more grains or
grain by-products mixed either in the attempt to make a more satisfactory ration, or in
order to make low-grade material more salable.

Cottonseed Feed.

Cottonseed feed is a mixture of cottonseed meal and cottonseed hulls. A mixture
of 1,100 pounds of 43 per cent cottonseed meal and 900 pounds of delinted cottonseed
hulls would make a mixture having practically the same protein content as the sample
analyzed. It is believed that the price asked, $46 a ton, was exorbitant as compared
with that of cottonseed meal.

Wheat and Rye Mixtures.

Such mixtures of wheat and rye by-products are satisfactory substitutes for wheat
bran or wheat mixed feed. The samples analyzed were of good quality.

Dairy Feeds.

The dairy feeds are usually sold as complete grain rations for milch cows. The
claim made by some manufacturers ■ — that these mixtures are scientifically blended —
carries but very little weight, for different brands vary widely in protein content (16 to
26 per cent). If the consumer believes it to be economy to purchase ready-mixed
rations, preference should be given to those brands which do not contain oat hulls,
screenings or other products of low feeding value. With few exceptions, the samples
collected mamtained their guarantees.

Molasses Feeds.

The molasses feeds are grouped according to their protein content. The group
containing 15 per cent or more of protein usually contains oat feed, oat clippmgs, grain
screenings or other low-grade by-products which, while they serve as an excellent
absorbent for the molasses, do not add materially to the value of the mixture. In
general, it is believed that these mixtures should sell at a price below that of wheat
bran to receive any recogniticn as an eccnomical part of the dairy ration.

28

Bibbys Horse Feed is an English product, consisting of various grains and grain
by-products moistened with molasses and pressed into small cakes. So far as we have
determined, it contains no inferior material. Champion Record Dairj^ Feed and Tioga
Horse Feed are also free from oat feed, oat clippings and screenmgs.

The second group of molasses feeds contains less than 15 per cent of protein, and
usually consists of molasses, corn and oats, to which may be added other products.

Sucrene Horse & Mule Feed, Alfalfa Molasses Union Horse Feed, Garden Spot
Horse Feed, H-0 Special Stock Feed, New England Stock Feed Company Special
Dairy Feed, Green Cross Horse Feed and Sugared Schumacher contained oat feed.

Sugared Schumacher and H-0 Special Stock Feed are stock feeds to which very
dry molasses has been added.

Hog Feeds and Calf Meal.

Nine samples of hog feeds and six samples of calf meals are reported, all of which
practically met their guarantees.

Mixed Cereal Meals.

Seven brands of pro^Tnder (ground corn and oats) are reported. They were un-
adulterated.

Stock and Horse Feeds.

This group of feeding stuffs contains oat feed (oat hulls, shorts and middlings) as
a base, together \Adth other cereal bj^-products used to increase digestibilit}', which
render the mixture more palatable and make the oat feed contained salable. If the
consumer believes it to be economical to purchase this material, the brcmds u-hich
contain the least fiber are to be preferred. The economy of feeding such mixtures i&
questioned. A classification of stock feeds according to fiber content follows: — ■

Miscellaneous Feeds.

Apex and Golde^ Grist Mixed Feeds are combinations of wheat products and oat
feed. The fiber content would indicate that onlj^ a small amount of oat feed has been
added.

Dried Corn Flake Feed is, as the name indicates, waste from the manufacture of
corn flakes. Its analysis would indicate that it is about equal in feeding value to
corn meal.

Palmo Middlings are a mixture of wheat middlings and palm oil. At one stage in
the manufacture of tin plate, the plates are immersed in a bath of palm oil. Later the
oil which adheres to the plates is removed by scouring with wheat middlings. After
being used for this purpose the material is placed on the market as Palmo Middlings.
When free from slugs and splinters of metal, there is no reason why it should not form
a satisfactory feeding stuff.

Burts Cereal Feed is the dried residue resulting from the manufacture of Instant
Postum. It is not particularly desirable as a feeding stuff, being of rather low di-
gestibility.

Inspection of Poultry Feeds.

Clover and Alfalfa Meals.

The clover and alfalfa meals collected were of fair quality.

Poultry Mashes and Meals.

The sale of commercial mixtures for poultry appears to increase from year to year,
both in total volume and in the number of brands offered. There is an apparent de-
crease in the number of brands carrying alfalfa meal, while dried skim milk and dried
buttermilk, particularly the latter, appear more often as ingredients both of the
chick starting feeds and laying mashes. As a whole, the samples collected conformed
closely to guarantee. The variation in guarantee and ingredients used, however, al-
lows a wide range of choice to poultrymen holding different opinions as to what con-
stitutes an ideal mash. For the small farm or back-yard flock, the commercial mixtures
will prove as satisfactory from the standpoint of convenience as a home mixture.
The commercial poultryman is likely to find it advantageous to mix his own rations and
adapt them to the conditions under which the flock must be kept and to the material
available.

Inspection of Animal By-Products.

Meat Scraps, Meat and Bone Scraps.

As the phosphoric acid content of meat products is an index of the bone which they
contain, this material is divided into two groups, depending upon the amount present.
Those containing less than 10 per cent of phosphoric acid are designated as meat
scrap; those containing more, as meat and bone scrap. With few exceptions, the meat
scraps contain 50 per cent of protein or more, while the meat and bone scraps contain
less. Meat scraps are a desirable source of animal protein. Based on the protem con-
tent and price of the samples collected, a pound of protein as furnished by meat scraps
would cost 8 cents, while a pound of protein furnished by meat and bone scraps would
cost 9 cents. In addition to furnishing a unit of protein somewhat cheaper, the meat
scraps are usually cleaner and freer from foreign material than the meat and bone
products.

31

Inspection of Milk Products.
Dried Buttermilk.

The three samples collected were of good qualitj\ One pound of the dried butter-
milk is equivalent to approximately IJ gallons of fresh buttermilk. The price at
which it was sold is equivalent to about 2^ cents a quart for buttermilk as it comes
from the creamery.

Milk Albumen.

The term used is believed to be a misnomer, as the product carries, in addition to
milk albumen, a large amount of ash, principally lime and phosphorus. It is a by-
product from the manufacture of milk sugar.

Home-mixed versus Commercial Rations for Dairy Stock.

A study of the commercial rations offered in the retail markets during September,
1922, forms the basis of the deductions offered in this article. Forty-five samples
were collected, representing 30 different brands. The retail price at which they
were sold varied from $40 to $54 a ton, with an average figure of $48.37. Their
protein content varied from 16^ to 26 per cent. They were sold, so far as known,
as complete grain rations for dairy cows. Judging from the wide variation in
chemical composition, one is led to believe that the argument often advanced by
feed manufacturers — that ready-mixed rations are scientifically blended — should
carry very little weight. It is true, probably, that mixtures sold as complete grain
rations will vary as much in composition as those mixed by a group of average
farmers.

In order to get at the relative economy of home mixing, prices based on retail ton
lots for straight by-products, such as are usually found at any well-stocked retailer's,
were obtained from a local dealer under date of Oct. 6, 1922. The prices given were
as follows: —

Retail
Ton Price.

Cottonseed meal, 36 per cent .......... $46 00

Wheat bran .............. 29 00

Gluten feed .............. 41 00

Ground oats . . . . . , . . . . . . . 39 00

Corn meal 35 00

Hominy feed 36 00

Linseed meal ............. 52 00

By combining the above feeds in different ways, six mixtures are suggested which
contain from 19 to 25 per cent protein, and cost at the present market from $37 to $40
a ton, plus the expense involved in home mixing.

32

Where liberal grain rations are fed (1 pound of grain to 3 or 4 pounds of milk)
mixtures containing about 20 per cent of protein are to be preferred. If less grain is
fed in proportion to the milk produced, mixtures containing 24 per cent of protein are
likely to prove more satisfactory.

The mixtures are expressed on a ton basis, but smaller amounts can be mixed by
reducing each ingredient by one-half, one-third or one-fourth.

In the above mixtures corn meal could be substituted for hominy feed in equal
amounts. As a general practice it is advisable to use hominy feed during the warmer
months unless corn is home grown. Any of these mixtures should prove satisfactory.
They are, however, merely suggested as types and admit of many variations.

The figures given indicate that the dairy farmer can by home mixing prepare a
satisfactory ration and at the present time save on the average about $10 a ton. Why
is it not worth doing? Fluctuations in the market price of feeding stuffs and other
economic factors render it unwise to forecast what the saving may be in the future.
At the present time, however, the labor involved in home mixing is amply repaid.

CONTROL SERIES BULLETIN No. 20 NOVEMBER, 1922

MASSACHUSETTS AGRICGLTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS

By H. D. Haskins, L. S. Walker and R. W. Swift

The fertilizer trade in Massachusetts for the 1922 season showed an 8 per
cent increase in tonnage over that of the 1921 season. This measures a certain
degree of increased activity on the farms of the State. The consumption of
low-analysis mixed fertilizers was but 17 per cent of the total consumed in
the State, as compared with 28 per cent for the 1921 season. Of the several
grades of mixed fertilizer consumed, the " 4-8-4 " is once again the leader, with
a tonnage of 10,968, or practically one-sixth of the total fertilizer tonnage used
in the State. This is a gain of slightly more than 10 per cent compared with the
previous season. The " 5-4-5 " tobacco grade is the second in favor. Of the
mixed fertilizer tonnage, 71 per cent v/as confined to 10 grades, which indicates
that the Nation-wide movement to eliminate unnecessary, uneconomical and
unreasonable grades of mixed fertilizer is having effect.

The personnel of the fertiUzer agents in any State varies from year to year. Tlie
prospective agent should satisfy himself that the brands which he proposes to handle
are properly registered. Otherwise, in the event of the failure of the manufacturer
to comply with the law in this respect, the agent will be called upon to assume this
obhgation. At the end of this bulletin will be found a complete list of registrants
during the past season. The brands registered by each will be found alphabetically
arranged in the tables representing the analyses of the different products, with the
exception of those brands not collected, which are listed by themselves.

COLLECTION OF SAMPLES.

The fertilizer sampling was in charge of the same three experienced men as for
the previous season. The territory covered by each was as follows: Mr. James T.
Howard, Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden and Hampshire counties; Mr. George H.
Kelton, Middlesex and Worcester counties; and Mr. Byron D. Raymond, Barnstable,
Bristol, Essex, Norfolk, PljTXiouth and Suffolk counties. The early spring movement
of fertilizer was apparently somewhat delayed, as evidenced in many instances by
the failure of the inspectors to find stocks in the agents' possession. As late as April
15, many had not received their goods. In any case the quantity of fertilizer carried
in stock by agents is relatively small, oftentimes not over 1 ton, the average agent's
holdings of all brands of complete fertilizers, crude stock materials and chemicals
being 4f tons.

The following statistics apply to the fertilizer collection for the year: 18,424 sacks
were sampled, representing 6,899 tons of fertilizer and fertilizing materials; 184 towns
were visited; 1,448 samples, representing 547 distinct brands, were drawn from
stock found in the possession of 483 agents or owners; 279 agents were called upon
who had discontinued handling fertilizer.

FERTILIZER VALUATIONS.

The wholesale prices c^uoted for fertilizer chemicals and crude stock materials
/or 1922 did not, as a whole, experience the wide fluctuations which prevailed during
the previous season. Recent changes include ammonium sulfate, which has ad-
vanced $22 per ton, and dried blood, which has advanced a little over $12 per ton
since March 1, 1922. Nitrate of soda has changed but little. The organic ammoniates,
with the exception of cottonseed meal, have shown a slight advance in price, while
acid phosphate and the potash salts are quoted somewhat lower than during the
spring.

The following table is made up from data furnished by the "Oil, Paint and Drug
Reporter." It gives the wholesale quotations during September, 1921, and Februarj^,
1922, as compared with present quotations, September 12, 1922.

FERTILIZER TONNAGE.

The tonnage of mixed and unmixed fertilizers sold in the State from July 1, 1921,
to July 1, 1922, as compared with the tonnage sold during the same period for the
previous year, was as follows : —

July 1, 1920, to

The consumption of mixed fertilizers was 7,942 tons more than for 1921; of
chemicals and raw products, 3,155 tons less than for the previous year. A relatively
low tonnage of cottonseed meal was bought as fertilizer during the past season, which
would account largely for the lower tonnage on unmixed materials.

The tonnage of high and low analysis mixed fertilizers, as well as of different
chemicals and crude stock materials sold m IVIassachusetts during the season from
July 1, 1921, to July 1, 1922, is given in the following tables, arranged in order of
largest tonnage.

A study of the foregoing tables shows : —

1. Of the total tonnage sold, 72 per cent consisted of mixed goods and 28 per
cent of chemicals and unmixed fertilizer by-products.

2. Of the 47,671 tons of mixed goods sold, 98.5 per cent were complete fertilizers
and 1.5 per cent ammoniated superphosphates and superphosphates with potash.

3. Of the 46,961 tons of mixed complete fertilizers, about 84 per cent were high-
analysis (14 per cent or over of available plant food) and 16 per cent low-analysis
fertilizers (less than 14 per cent of available plant food) .

4. Of the 39,415 tons of high-analysis complete fertilizers, 96 per cent were furnished
by 35 grades and 222 brands, and 86 per cent were furnished by 14 grades and 188 brands.

5. Of the 7,546 tons of low-analysis fertilizers, 93 per cent were furnished by 11
grades and 98 brands.

6. In case of the ammoniated superphosphates and superphosphates with potash,
of the 710 tons sold, about 53 per cent were low-analysis and 47 per cent high-analysis
goods; about 81 per cent of the high -analysis tonnage was furnished by 4 grades
and 11 brands, and 53 per cent of the low-analysis tormage was furnished by 2 grades
and 3 brands.

7. The tonnage of chemicals and crude stock materials was distributed as follows:
nitrogen products, about 47 per cent; phosphoric acid compounds, 40 per cent; potash
compounds, 13 per cent.

Over 43 per cent of the total tonnage of mixed fertilizers was derived from grades
recommended for the Eastern United States by the Soil Improvement Committee of
the National Fertilizer Association; and in addition about 26 per cent of the total
tonnage deviated by 1 per cent only in nitrogen, phosphoric acid or potash from
grades thus recommended.

It is admittedly difficult to have each fertilizer mixture alwaj's comply wdth each
of the guarantees. The fact that so few have fallen below the guarantee in commercial
valuation is worthy of commendation.

Only 8 brands of mixed complete fertilizer, about 2 per cent of the whole number
analyzed, showed a commercial shortage of $1 or over per ton. This is a much better
showing than last year, when 21 brands (7| per cent of the w^hole) were commercially
deficient to this extent. No ammoniated superphosphates or superphosphates with
potash were found seriously deficient commerciallj- during 1922.

The following table shows the average figure by which analysis of each manu-
facturer's goods was above or below the minimum guarantee. This is in reality an
average of brands sampled, and has no reference to the tonnage put out by the several
companies. In all probabilitj^, however, it fairty indicates the extent to which the
various companies succeed in making their fertilizer approximate the guarantee under
which it is sold. The plus sign before the figure indicates the average overrun; the
minus sign, the average deficiency shown by each firm.

1 Total phosphoric acid.

The above table shows that, of the 51 manufacturers, —

30 showed an overrun in all of the elements guaranteed.

46 showed an overrun and 5 a shortage in nitrogen.

38 showed an overrun and 13 a shortage in available phosphoric acid.

40 showed an overrun and 8 a shortage in potash.

6 showed a shortage in two of the elements of plant food.

Certain data given in the preceding table should prove a danger signal to those
manufacturers whose average margin of overruns is very low or of a minus quantit3^
They furnish largely the cases for rebates and prosecutions. Consistently large over-
runs, on the other hand, show a manufacturer to be at a serious disadvantage with
his more efficient competitors whose margin of overruns is safe but not excessive.

16

Brands showing Inferior Forms of Nitrogen.

Five brands of complete fertilizer were found to contain organic nitrogen of low
activity by the laboratory methods. Before a fertilizer is marked as having its water
insoluble organic nitrogen in "inferior" form, it must first show an activity of its
water insoluble organic nitrogen below 50 by the alkaline permanganate method,
below 85 by the neutral permanganate method, and the sum of the mineral nitrogen,
the water soluble organic and the active water insoluble organic nitrogen must be
less than the minimum nitrogen guarantee. In other words, a brand would be passed
without criticism if its nitrogen as nitrates and ammoniates, its water soluble organic
and its active water insoluble organic nitrogen equaled or exceeded the total minimum
nitrogen guarantee. This permits the use of a conditioner if its nitrogen is not counted
in the guarantee. Several brands were found to have their insoluble organic nitrogen
in inferior forms, but the total minimum nitrogen guarantee was fully made up by
nitrogen forms of unquestioned activity. Such brands do not appear in the table
which follows.

The table does not include the pulverized manures, which invariably show a low
activity of their water insoluble organic nitrogen, nor does it include Alphano Humus,
whose base is largely dry ground peat known to possess a low activity.

Nitrogen.

About 51 per cent of the total nitrogen in the high-anal3\sis fertilizers was present
as nitrates or ammoniates, and about 86 per cent of the total nitrogen was in active
form.

About 43 per cent of the total nitrogen in the low-analysis brands was in mineral
form, and 82 per cent of the total nitrogen was in active form. About 15 per cent of
the total number of brands analyzed failed to meet their minimum nitrogen guarantee.

Phosphoric Acid.

About 83 per cent of the total phosphoric acid in the high-analysis brands was in
available form, and 61 per cent of the available phosphoric acid was in water soluble
form. In the low-analysis brands about 85 per cent of the total phosphoric acid was in
available form, and 55 per cent of the available phosphoric acid was in water soluble
form. About 19 per cent of the total number of mixed fertilizers analyzed failed to
meet their available phosphoric acid guarantee.

Potassium Oxide.

Potash was used much more freely in mixed goods than for many years, the high-
analysis brands containing about 1 per cent more actual potash on the average than
during 1921, while the number of brands which did not contain potash was very
greatly reduced. A surprisingly large number of brands were found deficient in this
ingredient (about 25 per cent). Forty-four brands of tobacco fertilizer showed an
average of .58 per cent of chlorine, which would be equivalent to 1.16 per cent of
muriate of potash.

18

Cost of Plant Food in High- analysis versus Low-analysis Mixtures.

A calculation based on data given under the heading "Fertilizer Tonnage" shows
that about 83 per cent of the mixed fertilizers sold during the year could be classed as
high analysis, and 17 per cent as low analysis. This is a decided improvement over
last year's showing.

The following table gives the average selling price, commercial valuation, and both
money and percentage difference between selling price and valuation in the high and
low analysis mixed fertilizers sold during the season, also the average pound cost of
each element of plant food from each grade. ^

The above table shows that the increased cost of a pound of mineral nitrogen (from
nitrates and ammoniates) has been about 8 cents; of organic nitrogen, 11 -5- cents; of
available phosphoric acid, 2^0 cents; and of potash, 2^ cents, when derived from
brands which furnish less than 14 per cent of available plant food. It should be kept
in mind, also, that it costs as much money to freight a ton of low-analysis as of high-
analysis goods.

Table of Analyses.

Under the column headed "Grade of Fertilizer" will be found the minimum guar-
antee of ammonia, available phosphoric acid and potash. To convert ammonia to
nitrogen, multiply by the factor .82.

Under "Approximate Commercial Valuation per Ton" will be found the sum of
the calculated values of each element as found by analj^sis; basis table of trade values
found on a preceding page of the bulletin.

Under "Approximate Commercial Shortage per Ton " will be found the approximate
valuation of the low tests or deficiencies per ton of fertilizer based on Station analysis.
In arriving at these figures the value of overruns has been used in all cases to offset
shortages.

Under "Nitrogen," the column headed "Proportion in Water Soluble Form" in-
cludes nitrogen as nitrates and ammoniates and water soluble organic nitrogen, all of

which are known to be readily available. Under "Quality of Organic," "Good" in-
dicates an activity of 55 per cent or better by the alkaline permanganate method;
"Passed" indicates an activity between 50 and 55 per cent; "Inferior" indicates
an activity below 50 per cent, all being measured by the same laboratory method.
All questionable samples discovered by this method are subjected to the neutral
permanganate method, which gives somewhat more favorable results on ammoniates
of an organic vegetable origin. All samples are passed without question which show
an activity of 85 per cent or better by this method, even though they have shown
an activity below 50 per cent by the alkaline method. All samples are passed which
show the sum of the mineral, water soluble organic and active water insoluble organic
nitrogen equivalent to the minimum guarantee, even though the activity of the water
insoluble organic nitrogen may be below 50 and 85 per cent by the laboratory methods.
Serious deficiencies are emphasized by boldface type.

The simplified method of presenting results of analyses on fertilizer mixtures
substantially complying with the guarantee, which was adopted in 1921, is followed
this season. These tables are self-explanatory.

Detailed results of analysis of any brand inspected can and wall be furnished to
any one sufficiently interested to make application for the same.

Wood Ashes.

Wood aslies have sold during the season so that the pound of total potash has
cost 20.6 cents after deducting the value of phosphoric acid and lime (about
1.80 per cent for the former and 31 per cent for the latter). The potash in ashes
is largely present as carbonate, which may give it an added value over potash in
form of muriate or sulfate for some purposes in agriculture. As wood ashes are
valued largely for their content of potash and lime, it may not be out of place to
record that carbonate of potash guaranteed 65.43 per cent K2O is at present quoted
in the "Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter" at $160 per ton at works. Allowing 20 per
cent increase for overhead, the pound of actual K2O in this form would cost about
15 cents, or $3 per unit. All brands substantially met their guarantees.

INSPECTION OF LIME PRODUCTS USED IN
AGRICULTURE

By H. D. Haskins, L. S. Walker and R. W. Swift

Because of the high cost of freight, cartage and handling, the actual cost
of lime laid down on the farm is governed to a large degree by its concentra-
tion. This bulletin, therefore, reporting as it does the chemical composition
of lime products used in agriculture, and giving information on the physical
nature of some of these products, is of value to every farmer of Massachu-
setts who contemplates the purchase of this most important aid to success-
ful agriculture.

Requests for bulletins should be addressed to the

INSPECTION OF LIME PRODUCTS USED IN AGRI-
CULTURE FOR THE SEASON OF 1922.

BY H. D. HASKINS, CHEMIST IN CHARGE, ASSISTED BY L. S. WALKER XSD
RAYMOND W. SWIFT.

MANUFACTURERS AND BRANDS.

During the season of 1922, 24 different companies secured registration certificates
for the sale of 27 different brands of agricultural lime and 3 brands of gypsum or land
plaster. The following classification indicates the character of these products : —

Hydrated or slaked lime
Lime ashes
Precipitated lime
Ground limestone
Ground shell lime

Gypsum or land plaster ............ 3

With the exception of two samples of ground limestone, representative samples
of all of the products registered have been secured and analyzed, and the results
appear in the tables of analyses, arranged alphabeticallj'' according to manufacturer's
name and brand name.

SLAKED, AIR-SLAKED AND PRECIPITATED LIME AND LIME ASHES.

From Table I it will be seen that 11 out of 18 brands showed the total oxides
(that is, the sum of the calcium oxide and the magnesium oxide) equivalent to or in
excess of the minimum guarantee. Only one sample, the Berkshire Hills Company's
Agricultural Lime, showed a shortage in both calcium and magnesium oxides. The
New England Lime Company's Limestone Dust was deficient 25.54 per cent of calcium

oxide, with an overrun of only .78 per cent of magnesium oxide to offset this defi-
ciency. This is a product that varies considerably from year to year, as it is com-
posed of the extremely fine dust that is removed by means of a forced draft from
the rotary kilns.

Two brands appearing in Table I were deficient in calcium oxide (one sample of
lime ashes and one sample of slaked lime), but had quite a large overrun in mag-
nesium oxide, so that the lime ashes put out by the Champlain Valley Lime Company
showed an actual deficiencj^ of only 1.16 per cent of effective oxides, and the hydrated
lime put out by the New England Lime Company under the brand name of Con-
necticut Agricultural Lime showed an actual deficiency of only 9.87 per cent of effec-
tive oxides. Two other brands were deficient in magnesium oxide, but showed over-
runs in calcium oxide to balance or nearly balance the deficiencies.

Two samples of lime ashes, Tolman Lime-Wood Ashes and the Champlain Valley
Lime Company's Lime & Ashes, showed rather high percentages of acid soluble
potash and phosphoric acid. These were sent in by the manufacturers. Two other
brands of lime ashes, put out by Farnam Cheshire Lime Company and Hoosac Valley
Lime Company, Incorporated, sampled by our inspectors, ran much nearer in potash
to the general average.

The sample of precipitated lime, put out by the Hampton Company, showed
a deficiency of 3.34 per cent of calcium oxide. This particular sample was rather
wet, which probably explains this lime shortage.

GROUND LIMESTONES AND GROUND SHELL LIME.

A study of Table II, which contains the analyses of these products, shows that
5 out of 8 brands failed to meet their minimum guarantee in calcium and magnesium
oxides. The deficiencies, however, were not great, ranging from 1.11 to 6.29 per cent
calcium carbonate, the latter being shown by the Grangers Agricultural Limestone.
The brand of oyster shell lime put out by the Producers Sales Company showed a
deficienc}^ of 5.81 per cent of calcium carbonate.

The degree of fineness to which the raw lime products and the shell lime have
been ground is graphically illustrated on page 5.

EXPLANATION OF TABLES OF ANALYSES.

The data contained in Table I need only a few comments, as follows : —
In every lot of lime or lime product, a certain proportion of the magnesium or
calcium oxide present is combined with carbonic acid to form a carbonate. This
process takes place when a lot of quicklime or of hydrated lime is allowed to "air-
slake." The column headed "Proportion of total oxides as carbonates" represents
the extent to which this change has taken place. Lime or magnesium not in the
form of a carbonate is present either in the caustic form or as a hydrate (water-slaked
Ume).

The column headed "Pounds of effective oxides in one ton" gives the calculated
calcium oxide and magnesium oxide figured on the ton basis, it being assumed that
all of the lime and magnesia from this source will become available during a five-year
period.

Prices furnished by the manufacturer were used in all cases as the basis for the
calculations found in the last double column, headed "Cost of 100 pounds of effective
oxides in car lots f. o. b. kilns." In estimating probable cost on a delivered basis,
freight costs, from location of kiln to destination where used, must be computed.

In Table II the column headed "Pounds of effective oxides in one ton" is calcu-
lated as in Table I, save that the degree of fineness of the limestones is taken into

consideration. It is probable that an3i,hing passing a 20-mesh sieve is effective during
a five-j^ear period, while material not passing a sieve of this size is not fully effective.
We have assumed that any portion failing to pass this sieve will be only 50 per cent
effective during the same period.

of samples collected and inspected.
