Synopsis

A practical look at how feeding stuffs are tested, branded, and regulated.

This nonfiction work presents a historical report on Maine’s 1907–1908 feeding-stuff inspections. It explains how the state analyzes samples, checks guarantee accuracy, and enforces labeling laws to protect buyers and animals. The material shows the kinds of feeds on the market and the standards that producers must meet.

The report frames the scope and value of the inspection program. It covers required package statements, procedures for guaranties, and the penalties for misbranding or adulteration. It also describes how results are published and how inspectors determine if a product meets its declared protein and fat contents, or if it falls short.
  • Learn what information must appear on feeding-stuff labels and how guaranties are used to protect buyers.
  • See which feeds and brands were examined, and how results are interpreted for quality and safety.
  • Discover concerns raised about acids in gluten feeds, weed seeds in made-up feeds, and the role of weed-seed testing.
  • Understand the broader context of state law, enforcement, and the practical impact on merchants and farmers.
Ideal for readers of agricultural history, farmers, feed manufacturers, and anyone interested in early 20th-century food regulation.
