Upho,ds the state Board of Health.

Attorney General GODDARD recently
rendered an important opinion re1at-
ing to the powers of the state board
of health. There has been considera-
bic controversy as to whether rules
and regulations prescribed by the
state board of health regarding
guarantees and the control of infec-
tious diseases had the force and eff
feet of law. The attorney general held
that, within the limitations of ordi-
nary police power, the state board is
authorized to make and enforce such
rules and regulations as are neces-
sary for the health interests of the
people of the state and that such rules
have practically the force and effect
of laws

The consumption of imported but
ter is increasing in Germany, having
amounted to s,O9s.7
metric tons of 2,2o4
pOF's u pounds during the
first seven months of this year, against
5,7841 tons for the same period OF
1885, Of the above amount, Holland
furnished 2,s50.s tons; Austria-Hun-
gary, 2,476.3 tons, and Russia, 1858
tons. Our butter is equal to the best
produced, and I see no reason why the
United States should not supply the
market here with this commodity, as
it does with lard, meat and grain
The German agrarians and their sym
pathizers consider the present German
tariff rate on imported butter-16
marks, or $3.50, per 100 Kilograms, or
220.46 pounds-too low TO protect the
domestic producers

Year.

The average crop being 1913, 275,715
bushels, this years yield, if present
expectations he fulfilled, will be 81
676,8OO bushels, or 14.3 per cent. above
the average. It will also be 24,OO6, 400
bushels greater than last years crop.
In fact, during the 12-year period end
ed 1900, it seems probable that only
1898 will be able to boast a better
crop than that of this year. The diff
ference between this years and last
years crops, in money, will be about
$25, OOO, 600.

The total traffic of all the railroads
in the empire for 1897 amounted to
217,523, PAT tons. OF this total, 49,
1880 tons were lumber. This is of

Importance of this industry in Ger
