Smithfield Ham.
senator Daniel, after consultations
with Chief Melvin. OF the Bureau Of
Animal Industry of the Department OF
Agriculture, and other officials Of the
department, has succeeded in solving the
questions which have arisen under the
meat inspection law, passed at tho last
session OF Congress, questions which alb
solutely prevented the 81 shipment Of
Smithneld hams to dealers In other
States, as the live animals, butchered by
farmers Of Isle of Wight, Surry and
Nansemond counties, could not be in
spected by government inspectors. The
department ruled that the hams, which
are sold to firms in smithtleld, which
cure them and sell them to dealers all
over the country. could not be thus sold
under the provisions 6or the; new law,
although the law does not require that
afarmer-butchered meat shall stand in
8spection. The meat in this instance
passed from the farmer to85the dealer
and curer, which was held to take from
it its character Of farm-killed meat.
Chief Melvin has decided that a tag
attached to each ham, certifying that the
hog was killed by the grower. shall be
sufficient to give its original character.
The tag must be. affixed by Il govern
ment inspector. This decision will prove
OF every great Importance to Smithfleld
ham dealers, as they have been absolutely
prevented shipping the hams to dealers
outside Virginia since the now law went
into effect.
