45(3 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [P. D. No. 4. 



tional Association of Dairy and Food Commissioners. In 

 August ho was appointed a special expert of the national 

 department of agriculture, to inspect dairy exports from the 

 port of Boston in connection with recent national legisla- 

 tion. The duties of the position will not be very large, as 

 Boston is not much of an export point for dairy products, 

 and as most of what exports there are come from the west 

 on through bills of lading, and are transferred directly from 

 the cars to the boats. We expect that in a general way 

 being in closer touch with the dairy business will be in the 

 line of increased efficiency in work for the State. 



The following is a classified statement of the expenses of 

 the year : — 



Members of the Bureau, travelling and per diem for attend- 

 ing meetings, ....
