the first report Of Chris Heen, state
dairy and food commissioner. Impor-

stock growers who have to figure
closely in buying their feeds.
The feedstuff law became effective
April Is, 1919, but as offices and a
laboratory had to be fitted up it was
not until last October that the actual
enforcement of law began.
$50 Towns Visited.
Since that time and up to August 1
the state feed inspectors have visited
about $50 towns, 928 feed stores and
1877 flour mills. The inspectors also
investigated many complaints and In
spected 80 feed manufacturing plants
and submitted to the laboratory for
examination e19 samples Of feed.
Half these samples were classed as
legal, the others being below the guar
antee for protein or fat, or above the
guarantee for fiber. Some OF them
contained impurities not specified on
the label; in others, ingredients were
guaranteed on, the label which were
not found in the sample.

Under the new la@ no concentrated
commercial feeding stuffs can be sold
or exposed for sale in Minnesota with
out having attached to the bag or
sack a statement of the ingredients,
the net weight Of the package, and the
name and address of the manufacturer.
A tag bearing the signature of the state
dairy and food commissioner must be
attached to each package of feed to
show that it has been registered with
the state.
Since enforcement of the law began
last fall, 2,049,500 pounds of feed
which it was necessary to remove from
sale have been found by inspectors.

AS showing the need Of such law
with real teeth in it, the department
found that feeds which contained as

FOUR MODERNLY APPOINTED
NEW LIVING QUARTERS
NEARLY COMPLETE.
FORMER WESCHKE HOME is
BEING TRANSFORMED IN
HOUSE TENANTS.

Work is being rushed at the former
Weschke home, opposite South Ger
man Park, to complete four new apart
ments into which the house is being
remodeled. The new apartments will
be known as the Park View Apart
ments and it is planned to make them
models of convenience and comfort.
They will be heated flats, with hot and
cold water, gas and electric connec-
tions all installed and concealed, as
we'll as telephone. An enormous attic
and full basement offer unlimited
storage space to tenants and the con-
tractor has had in mind the fact that

The building stands almost in the
center of two lots, 100 by 165 feet in
size, facing the beautiful hills along
the Minnesota river Large as the
house is, there is still a great deal OF
yard space with shade and ornamental
trees, to say nothing of great oak,
hundreds of years old. and number
OF fruit trees. A wide hall divides the
house from front to back and this has
been kept as the division between the
apartments, thus providing absolute
privacy to all tenants. There are
two apartments on each side. Three
OF the apartments will have five rooms
and bath and the fourth apartment
will consist of four rooms, alcove, bath
and the large veranda which can b.
