Smallpox and the Seasons.

Peter Cooper Hewitt has recently had ten pat

station is just sending out another
bulletin giving additional results of

This shows that 226 samples of
feeding stuffs have been analysed.
These were collected, mostly from
dealers, during the fall of 1900.
Cottonseed, linseed and gluten feeds
were all found to be free from adul-
teration, though as might have been
expected, the various brands showed
considerable variation in composition.
Some of them were better than
others; and the station analyses will
help buyers in picking out the best.
Amongst oat feeds, corn and oat
feeds, provenders and the like, the
conditions were found not quite so
satisfactory. Some brands contained
considerable quantities of oat bulls,
more than they ought to have were
the goods made Of "pure grains
ground together" as suggested in the
state law. Such feeds, of course, are
of inferior quality. The farmer
should buy something else.
Bran, 1niddlngs and mixed (wheat)
feeds are exempt from the State in
spection, but so far as they were ex-
amined this year, seem to be of fairly
good grade.
