chemical science to agriculture has been demonstra-
ted in the performance of the duties under the act to

act, much expense in the purchase of materials, fitting
tip of temporary laboratories in the several counties,and
procuring suitable means of visiting each section of
the counties, and other necessaries to the perfect and
just discharge of indispensable duties are incurred,
for which there is no adequate allowance in the ori-

ginal act aforesaid— Therefore.

$500 to salary.

That with a view to the remedy thereof, the addi-
tional sum of five hundred dollars be annually allow-
ed to the officer appointed in virtue of the original
