NO INSPECTION
is NECESSARY
WHERE FARMERS SLAUGHTER
MEAT ON FARMS FOR INTER
STATE SHIPMENTS.
Secretary Of Agriculture Writes to
Congressman Padgett on
Subject.

Where the Department at Washing
ton has not furnished an inspector at
the time of slaughter to inspect meats
farmers will be allowed to ship their
meats interstate under the regulations
of the department The only require
ment is that the farmers sign a GER
tificate showing that the meat was
slaughtered on their farm. This in
formation was received today by Con-
gresham Padgett from the Secretary
of Agriculture in response 10 an IN
quiry submitted by him to the depart
ment some time ago.
The following correspondence is self
explanatory:
Editor of The Herald: -Several of
our farmers have spoken to me in
reference to the necessity Of U. 8.
inspection of hogs slaughtered on the
farm. Last spring had letter from
the Hon. Secretary of Agriculture
stating that the law and the regula-
lions of the Department did not re-
quire inspection of meat slaughtered
on the farms to be eligible for inter-
State shipment. Later report was
current that it was necessary and
again wrote the Secretary and hand
you his letter and ask that it be pub
lished for the information of the
farmers interested.
From this letter it will appear that
where the Department has not fur
nished an Inspector OF meat at the
time of slaughter that such farmers
will be allowed to ship their meat
under the regulations OF
the Department. In substance these
regulations are that the farmer signs
a certificate showing that the meat
was slaughtered on his farm.
Very truly,
81. P. PADGETT"
Department of Agriculture, office
Of the Secretary, Washington, Nov. Z,
1907.
"Hon. L. p Padgett, M. c., Column
bia, Tenn, Sir:-Reeferring to your
letter of the 4th instant, the Meat In
spection Act does not require that in
order to be eligible for interstate COM
merce meat and meat food products
rom the carcasses of animals slaugh-
cred by any farmer on the farm shall
,e U. S. inspected and passed, but it
loes provide that such inspection may
,e had at the discretion of the Secre-
airy of Agriculture.
1.-THE large amount of uninspected
,ork shipped interstate by farmers
md others from the State of Tonnes !
zee has been brought to the atten-
ion of the Department and an en-
eavor is now being made to furnish

Catherine In her day was a much-mar-
ried lady and most Of her morganatic hus-
bands were Apollos, but Patiomkin, who
had the honor OF being one OF them, was a
man OF ugly and fOrbioding appearance.
He was fat misshapen and bald and had
lost an eye, and his manner was gruff and
unoouth. But all the same he was a man
OF splendid imagination and for many
years after Catherine deserted him for an
other he held post at the Russian court
comparable TO that once held BY Mr.. Harry
Lehr In New York society. In brief. he
was the ofhcial master OF the revels and
superintendent OF entertainments.
