Notes From Washington.

The president has issued orders set
ting aside a quarter-section of land in
the Belle Fourche irrigation project
for the use OF the department Of agri-
culture to make experiments In irri-
cation farming for the benefit OF set
tiers on that land.
Secretary Wilson OF the department
OF agriculture has decided not to enter
on his annual vacation until he has
put into operation the new meat in
spection law. He will give practically
his entire time to this work for the
next two months. The new pure food
law also will require attention, but the
secretary intends to leave this almost
wholly to DR.. w. II. Wiley.
TO carry into effect the meat inspec-
ton law recently enacted by congress,
the civil service commission has an
nounced an examination OF inspectors
to be held on the 21st inst. The regu-
lations under which the examinations
are to be held do not require that the
inspectors be veterinarians, but they
must from experience be qualified TO
determine whether or not meat is
sound, wholesome and fit for human
| food, and must be competent to super
| wise the preparation of various meat
products. The entrance salary is ST.
900 per annum.
