FEEDSTUFFS LAW
UNJUST

Unjust and unnecessarily incon-
yenient to the small dealers is the
feedstuffs law adopted by the legis-
lature Of the state of Washington
which becomes effective January l.,
1910. In fact. | am inclined to be-
lieve that it will result in driving
many grocers out of the business of
handling feedstuffs, including hay
and whole grain, for the reason 1t is
expensive and troublesome to comply
with the terms of the new regula-
ton"
E. N. Cory, secretary of the Spo-
kane Grocers' association, said this
in discussing the law which requires
every person or corporation selling
feedstuffs to file with the director of
the state experiment station at Pull
man a certificate, duly verified, the
ingredients and the minimum per-
centage of crude fat and crude pro-
TEN IL ID W toHtoih.
The law also directs that every
seller must purchase labels from the
state experiment station on which is
printed the information as to fat and
protein, and one of these labels must
be attached to every package of feed
sold The dealer must have an anal
ysis made of all feed sold and this
must be verified The feed must
conform in every respect to the
statements on the label and must not
contain any substance injurious to
the health of the animals.
1t is also provided that on or be-
fore January 81, of each year. every
dealer must make a sworn statement
to the director of the experimental
station, giving the number of pounds
of commercial feeding stuff sold or
offered for sale during the previous
year ending December 81.

Water In Wool.

A very curious application of the
properties of calcium carbide has been
made in Australia-namely. to the easy
determination of the quantity of wa
ter contained in wool before shearing
A little wool is clipped off, weighed
and mixed thoroughly with an excess
of calcium carbide in suitable appa-
ratus. The acetylene produced by the
reaction of the carbide with the water
in the wool is determined by measur-
ing its volume at constant pressure or
its pressure at constant volume by
means of a scale so graduated as to
give directly the proportion of water
in the wool.
