Thi1d-Three guarantees are required on our registration sheet, viz.: the minimum percentage of fat and protein and the maximum percentage of fibre; in other words, the fat and protein in a manufacturer's goods must not be less than his guarantee and the fibre must not be above his guarantee. Fourth-In the case of pure wheat-bran, pure wheat-middlings, or bran and middlings mixed; rice-bran, rice-polish, rice-meal, corn and oat feeds. cottonseed-meal, linseed-meal and mala es and suO'ar feed, thi Department fixes the mini- mum guarantee or standards of purity for protein and fat, and maximum guarantee for fibre as given under the head of standards of purity. In all other feeds or mixtures of feeds the manufacturer is permitted to make his own minimum guarantee of protein and fat, and his maximum guarantee of fibre' Provided, that no feeds or mixtures of feeds will be accepted for registration or allowed to be offered for sale in this State that contain less than ten per cent. crude protein or until standards are fixed by this Department for the feeds offered for registration, and he is then expected to live up to his guarantee. Fifth-Provided a manufacturer wishe to guarantee his \vheat-bran at standards lower than fixed by this Department. but not less than: crude protein, 13.5 per cent.; crude fat, 3.50 per cent. fibre, not more than 10 per cent., he is permitted to do 0, but must use the words "second class" in that event before the \\'ords 'wheat-bran" and in letters a. large a. any on the tag. Sixth-It is optional with the manufacturer or sellers whether the sack be branded, although that is desired always; but the required items must always be printed on the tag in black-colored ink, but not printed with a rubber tamp. The tag stamp must be affixed to the tag preferably alongside the printed matter. but in case of necessity may be attached to the back of the tag. Seventh-Feeds may be shipped in bulk from a foreign manufacturer direct to a manufacturer who expects to sub- , 1 sequently ack and tag the arne but in this case the shipper, in consideration of this permi ion, mu t notify this Department at the time of shipment of the name of the consignee ancl the tonnage shipped, otherwise the whole hipment will be subject to eizure as being untagged and unstamped. Eighth-The principal adulterants employed in the feedtuff trade are oat-hull , barley-hulls, rice-chaff, corncobs, peanut- hells and creenings. Some of the above may be found legitimately in a feed consequent to the grinding of the whole seed but when used out of proper proportions, or in excess of the amount obtained in rrrindin rr the whole seed, or when foreign to the product, or if injurious to the health of domestic animals, would be con idered an adulteration. Ninth-When wheat-bran and screenings are mixed, the mixture hall be branded "\Vheat-bran and Screenings," and the word "Screening" shall appear in the ame ize type as the words "Wheat-bran." Tenth-The sale of poultry and cattle food which contain poisonous weed eeds in appreciable quantities, such as corn cockle and jim on weed (Jame town weed), are forbidden. Eleventh-When corn-bran is mixed with wheat-bran, the mixture hall not be branded "Bran," but shall be branded "Mixed Bran," or under a trade name, and so registered with the Department of Agriculture. Twelfth-'vVhen wheat-bran is mixed with corn-bran and wheat-middlings, the mixture shall not be branded "Bran and 66 iiddlings," or "Bran and Middlings Mixed," but shall be branded "Mixed Feed," or "Feed," or under some tradtl name, and so registered with the Department of Agriculture. Tlvirteenth-----When corn-bran is mixed with wheat-middlings, the mixture shall not be branded "Middlings," or "Middlings and Bran," but shall be branded "Mixed Feed," or "Feed," or under some trade name, and so registered with the D.epartment of Agriculture. Fourteenth-No feeds shall be registered or allowed on sale in this State under a name that is misleading as to its quality. Fifteenth-The Commissioner of Agriculture shall have the power to require registrations. annually of any or all concentrated feed-stuffs old, offered or exposed for sale in this State. Sixteenth-Until further notice, manufacturers of poultry' and condimental feeds, who have been accustomed to the use of 19-, 20-, 40-, and So-pound packages, will be permitted to put ten IO-pound, or five 20-pound, packages in a 100pound sack or package, the large package bearing the usual tag and stamp tax of one cent, together with the guaranteed analysis and name and address of the manufacturer. A legend should be printed .on each small package contained in the sack, giving the guaranteed analysis and noting the fact that it is 1-10 or 1-5, as the case may be, of the larger packages on which tax has been paid. Seventeenth-The Commissioner of Agriculture shall have the power to refuse or allow any manufacturer, importer, jobber, broker, agent, dealer, or any person or persons, to lower the registration or guaranteed analysis of his or their product during the calendar year unless satisfactory reasons are presented for making such change or changes. Eighteenth--All cottonseed-meal less than 38.62 per cent. .protein shall be sold as cQ..ttonseed feed meal. Nineteenth-Brown shorts is simply a trade name, being generally reground wheat-bran. It is liable to seizure if, for instance, it should contain corn-bran, because we would consider it as being sold under a misleading name. Corncobmeal can not be sold either separate or mixed with other feeds; it is simply ground-up corncobs; neither can oat-hulls, rice-chaff or peanut-shells be sold separately or mixed. Shipstuff does not imply a feed or mixture of any definite composition' it must not contain oat-hulls, corncobs, peanut-shells, rice-chaff, or other adulterants. It is generally a wheat product, being largely reground wheat-bran. If it is a mixture it must be branded and sold as a mixed feed; if a pure wheat product, it may be sold under the same conditions as wheatbran. Twentieth-If any manufacturer or dealer shall ship into or within this State feeding-stuffs, within the meaning of this Act, unsacked or in bulk, the car containing such feeding-stuffs must have the requisite number of inspection 68 stamps attached or affixed and In such manner a to be secure from removal by rain. DUTIS OF SHERIFFS Under section 17 of the Food and Drugs Act, it is made the duty of the sheriffs of this State to seize and sell at public sale any feed- tuff which they may find or have pointed out to them which has not attached to the package containing it the inspection stamp required by law, unless satisfactory evidence is submitted showing that the same has been attached. The attention of sheriffs is called to this duty, and its faithful performance is urged for the protection of the citizen of their counties from fraudulent and adulterated feedstuffs.
