The Feeding-Stuffs Inspection for 19 U.

In 191 r the secretary of the State Board of Agriculture
through the ofHcial inspector turned in 166 samples of feeding-
stuffs. Sixty-eight samples were licensed. Twelve of these
samples were composed of whole or coarsely ground grains, the
nature and composition of which were apparent. Accordingly,
a chemical analysis was not made. Thirty samples repre-
sented duplicates. Fifty-six samples were analyzed and the
results are tabulated in the following table.

In general the feeds analyzed were in accordance with the
guarantee. A number were well above the guarantee while a
few were below. As usual the inspector reported a large num-
ber of low grade feeds but all of these do not appear in this
report.

At the last session of the New Hampshire legislature the
feeding-stuffs law was amended so as to require an inspection
of a wider range of feeding-stuffs, also a guarantee of the maxi-
mum percentage of crude fiber is now required. The law is
still inadequate. If the law were to require a statement of the
specific ingredients of which any particular feeding-stuff were
compounded the interest of both the consumer and manufac-
turers of high grade feeding-stuffs would be protected. A
number of states now require a statement of the specific ingre-
dients of which a feed is made. New Hampshire consumers of
feeding-stuffs should demand a proper revision of the feeding-
stuffs law at the next session of the Legislature and secure
what some of the neighboring states demand and get.

The following is a copy of the present New Hampshire
feeding-stuffs law.

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in
General Coui^t Convened:

Section i. That section i of chapter 35, session Laws
of 1 90 1, be amended by inserting after the words " and of crude
fat," the words and of crude fiber, so that the section a

4 N. H. AGR. EXPERIMENT STATION [Bulletin I54

amended shall read : Every manufacturer, company, or person,
who shall sell, offer, or expose for sale or for distribution in this
state any concentrated commercial feeding-stuff used for feeding
farm live-stock, shall furnish with each car or other amount
shipped in bulk and shall affix to every package of such feeding-
stuff, in a conspicuous place on the outside thereof, a plainly
printed statement clearly and truly certifying the number of net
pounds in the package sold or offered for sale, the name or
trademark under which the article is sold, the name of the
manufacturer or shipper, the place of manufacturer, the place
of business and a chemical analysis stating the percentages it
contains of crude protein, allowing one per centum of nitrogen
to equal six and one fourth per centum of protein, of crude fat
and of crude fiber, both constituents to be determined by the
methods prescribed by the associates of official agricultural
chemists. Whenever any feeding-stuff is sold at retail in bulk
or in packages belonging to the purchaser the agent or dealer,
upon request of the purchaser, shall furnish to him the certified
statement named in this section.

Sect. 2. That section 2 of the same act be amended by
inserting after the words "corn and oat chops," the words
wheat, rye and buckwheat bran and middlings, and by striking
out the words " neither shall it include wheat, rye, and buck-
wheat brans or middlings, not mixed with other substances,
but sold separately, as distinct articles of commerce, nor pure
grains, ground together," so that section 2 shall read : The
term concentrated commercial feeding-stuffs as used in this act,
shall include linseed meals, cottonseed meals, pea meals, cocoa-
nut meals, gluten meals, gluten feeds, maize feeds, starch feeds,
sugar feeds, dried brewer's grains, malt sprouts, hominy feeds,
cerealine feeds, rice meals, oat feeds, corn and oat chops, wheat
rye and buckwheat bran and middlings, ground beef, or fish
scraps, mixed feeds and all other materials of similar nature ;
but shall not include hays and straws, the whole seeds nor the
unmixed meals made directly from the entire grains of wheat,
rye, barley, oats. Indian corn, buckwheat and broom corn.

Sect. 3. That section 4 of said act be amended by sub-
stituting for the words "a license" the words an analysis

Oct. 191 1 ] FEEDING-STUFF INSPECTION 5

throughout the section; by substituting the word fifteen for the
word "twenty:" and by inserting after the word "dollars"
the words for each brand offered for sale within the state so that
section 4 as amended shall read : Sect 4. Each manufacturer,
importer, agent, or seller of any concentrated commercial feed-
ing-stuffs, shall pay annually during the month of December to
the secretary of the board of agriculture an analysis fee of fifteen
dollars, for each brand offered for sale within the state. When-
ever a manufacturer, importer, agent, or seller of concentrated
commercial feeding-stuff desires at any time to sell such material
and has not paid the analysis fee therefor in the preceding
month of December, as required by this section, he shall pay
the analysis fee prescribed herein before making any such sale.
The amount of analysis fees received by said secretary pursuant
to the provisions of this section shall be paid by him to the
treasurer of the state of New Hampshire. The treasurer of the
state of New Hampshire shall pay from such amount when duly
approved the moneys required for the expense incurred in mak-
ing the inspection required by this act and enforcing the pro-
visions thereof. The secretary of the board of agriculture shall
report biennially to the legislature the amount received pursuant
to this act, and the expense incurred for salaries, laboratory
expenses, chemical supplies, traveling expenses, printing, and
other necessary matters. Whenever the manufacturer, importer,
or shipper of concentrated commercial feeding-stuff shall have
filed the statement required by section i of this act and paid
the analysis fee as prescribed in this section, no agent or seller
of such manufacturer, importer, or shipper shall be required to
file such statement or pay such fee.

Approved April 15, 1911.

Messrs. J. E. Robinson and D. B. Keyes have assisted in
the preparation of the following analytical work.
