A remarkable physical chem has been (ole; on in Minnesota within the last ten years, of the extent of signifi- cance or which few people are aware. Minnesota has long been known as “the Lake state." it was famous as contain- ing a greater number and variety of beautiful lakes than any other section at the country. In an oilicial report 01 Bur- veyor-Genernl J. H. Baker, published some seven years ago in the \ Pioneer Press, it was stated that there ‘were over 7,000 lakes within the sur-: veyed limits of the state. But the last ten years has wrought wonderful changes in this characteristic feature of of our landscapes. A large proportion at these ‘lskes have dried up entirely, and in many cases cultivated fields now occupy their rich bottoms, formerly covered by from ten to twenty feet of water. Nearly all the rest have greatly shrunken in volume and are slowly dlsr appearing. These are a few exceptions. but this is the general rule.

No small amount in itself toward paying the expenses of the concern, and leave to the patrons just so much more with which to pay taxes, pew rents and claw-hammer coats. And yet this is the experience of factories reported, who had demanded that all milk to be delivered shall, as soon as milked, be aerated and cooled berm-e being sent. in one factory a loss of two cents a pound on all cheese made by inferior quality and flavor was recovered. and the cheese sold after with the best, followed the rule oi every patron night 1nd morning aerating the milk and cooling to a certain degree before plac~ in; on the factory wagon. in quite a number of factories this season where this rule is being made mandatory, there has been not only a noticeable improvement in the quality or the but- ter mode, but an increase in amount. i. 0., the milk creamed better. and the churn did more perfect work.

He says he always asked for reports it anything wrong happened. and has never yet received an unta- vorable report. He says a few years ago he tried feeding corn smut to cows. one of which refused to eat the smut [after it amounted to considerable in quantity. while the other consumed a ; peck daily of carefully cleaned corn smut. This cow was gaining rapidly In flesh, when suddenly she was taken with some apparent hrain trouble and died.
