The Minnesota law provides that Scribner's rule be the only 

 legal rule for the survey of logs in this state, and that every log 

 shall be surveyed by the largest number of even feet which it 

 contains in length over ten feet and under twenty-four feet, and 

 all logs of twenty-four feet or more shall be surveyed as two 

 logs or more. As to what Scribner's rule is the law does not 

 say, and yet requires it to be posted in the offices of the surveyors 

 general of logs and lumber. The following table is a copy of 

 Scribner's rule as used here: .
