Minnesota has an area of $3.50
square miles, or 5S,55O,OOO acres, of
which $4,000, coo acres is land and
rather more than 100000 acres Of
water, which is divided into some
1000 lakes of various extent. OF
this vast extent the pineries on the
headwaters of the Missippi and St.
Croix occupy $1,000 square miles,
the eBig Woods" as it is termed,
about 5000 square miles, the rest Of
the State $3.50 SO. my being era.

and oak openings.
The surveyed portions of the
State amount to l,7O5 full townships,
and the unsurveyed portion may be
more readily comprehended when
we state that it is equal in size to
the combined areas of New Hamp
shire, Connecticut and Massachu
setts. In the surveyed regions are
5000 lakes, averaging 800 acres
each, few. of the larger being
Leech Lake, ll4,OOO acres, Mile
Lacs, 10000 acres, and Lake Mimi

Fifteen years ago this great State
had but 10 miles of railroad, now
she has $500 miles of constructed
railway, or one mile Of railroad fol

Profits Of the Dairy.

The dairy interests of this section
is one of great magnitude. 1t has
developed the wealth and resources
of the farming class as no other in
dustry could have done, and the last
fifteen or twenty years has witnessed
a progress heretofore unparalleled.
Numbers have come from absolute
poverty to be the owners Of rich
farms, and have added to them other
acres; Improvement has followed i'm
provement, comforts and luxuries
are now enjoyed, to which the fathers
were strangers. Nor can it be truth
fully said of any other branch of
farming. Notwithstanding the
fluctuations in prices and the gradu-
al shrinking Of values, it is still
doubtless true that the result has
been more favorable to the farmer
than could have been any other pro-
duction-. Wellington (Ohio), Enter.

Hon. VIM. Bickel, internal reven-
ue collector, has received instruc-
tions from the commissioner Of in
ternal revenue at Washington, to
the effect that, on and after January
l, 1879, "persons selling Hostetter's
bitters, brakes Plantation bitters,
and similar stamped hitters and al
coholic liquors and beverages must
pay special tax as liquor dealers,
from the remaining portion of the
special tax year, which ends April,
80, 1879" This order was first
made to go into effect November
lst, but was supplemented by an or.
der extending the time to allow of a
disposition of this class of liquors by
those who had them in hand that
they might close ont their stock.
Then it they desire to sell these Ii,
quors a liquors tax must be paid.
In mo license towns dealers who
have been selling these kind of bev-
erages will have to step up and pay
a license hereafter, and the result
will be big increase in the revenue
receipts.-[Pi-Press.

Smut In Corn.

We hear that there is a great deal
of smut in corn this year, much more
than usual, and that it is of very
poisonous nature. We are informed
thet George Sherer, of Sigel, has
lost five head of cattle from the eff
feet of feeding on smutty corn, Mr..
Joseph Schnoberich, of Cottonwood,
also lost three head in one day.
Mr.. Schnoberich says that he turned
his cattle into the field in the morn
ing apparently in good health, but
after they had been feeding in the
corn field awhile he noticed that a
young steer was acting rather
strangely, and he at once drove him
back to the yard. Soon after a
second and q third were taken
the same way, when he drove the
whole herd from the field. The cat
tie after showing symptoms of ILL
ness would form at the mouth and
stagger about in apparent great pain
for an hour or so, when they would
lay down and soon after expire.
Mr.. Schnoberih, who is a practical
butcher, says that he has thoroughly
investigated the matter and that he
is convinced that it was black smut
that killed his cattle. He says that
they will feed on smutty corn IN
preference to any other, and that he
has cut down and burned all his
cornstalks. We also hear of several
other parties in this vicinity that
have lost cattle in the same manner
as Messrs. Scheer and Schnoberich.

The President and the Outrages.

In an interview with Simon Cam
eron and others the President is re-
ported to have said:
sThe time for discussion has
passed. 1t is now too late for any
thing but the most determined and
vigorous action. The determination
was reached several days ago, and
the dellberation of the Cabinet on
the subject since then have been
comparatively brief and confined
mainly to the consideration Of the
duty of the Attorney General in the
premises. When the Southern poll
cy was originated, it was with an
earnest desire to conciliate the
Southern leaders, to round off the
sharp angles of sectional differences
and soften the asperities of political
strife. No one will deny that the
attempt to enforce this policy was
carried out with a conscientious de-
sire to accomplish the result for
which it had been inaugurated. Of
the personal and partisan sacrifices I
made in my efforts, and the conse-
quent interruption of certain rela-
tions which had previously existed
between myself and some of my
supporters, I have nothing to say
just now; but it appears that the
Southern leaders who made pledges
either did not exert themselves to
keep them or were unable to do so.
In fact I am reluctantly forced to
admit that the experience was of
little value. The first elections with
free suffrage for every voter in the
South are an impossibility under the
existing condition of things. It is
not because the the Republican
party appears as the sufferer in these
results that I complain. It is be-
cause free suffrage and the freedom
Of political rights have been inter-
fered with that I am called upon to
take cognizance of these disturban-
ces. If the facts were exactly re-
vcrsed, and if the Republicans had
committed these outrages upon the
Democrats my duty would have
been the same. It would not be for
nle or for any official before whom
the question may come to treat them
otherwise than in non.partisan
way. The partisan press will natur-
ally take a PARTISAN view Of the case,
and will be held to account for
aiding the Republicans in Haunting
the bloody shirt, as is called, but
for all that I shall do my duty as
chi eff magistrate of all the people, to
Democrats and Republicans alike;
and if, in the faithful execution of
the laws, justice shall demand the
punishment of this or that person,
whatever his political connection
may be. / shall not be deferred by
partisan criticism. All that I know
is that great crimes have been COM
mitted and it is my duty to aid in
the punishment Of the criminals"

Preparing Stock for Winter.

"a stitch in time saves nine," is not
more true, says the National Live
Stock Journal, in mending torn
clothes than in getting farm stock
through the winter. The calf, the
colt, the COW, or the sheep that
enters upon the winter in a thrifty
condition and in good flesh, will give
the owner but little trouble, and can
easily be kept improving during the
winter months. On the other hand,
animals that the storms of winter
find in a weak and emaciated condi.
ton will require constant care and
attention, at very considerable ex-
pense, if they survive at all. Nine
tenths of all the losses of young
stock that occur during the winter
months, are animals that were in
low flesh at the beginning Of cold
weather. The fat and hearty steer,
COW, sheep, or colt will toss its head
in the exuberance of helth and
strength, bidding defiance to the
coolest weather, while the lean weak
ling stands with arched back and
dropping head shivering in the
fence corner. Nothing affords a
more perfect protection from cold
weather and hard storms than robust
health, and good supply of fat;
and when to these two conditions we
add artificial shelter and abundance
Of good food and water, we have all
that is required to insure the econo-
mical wintering of farm stock. If
low condition as well as storms and
cold must be combated, the watchful-
ness well as the expense must be
doubled.

Drying Pumpkins.

We love pumpkins pies, especially
when there is not an abundance of
tree fruit. We have tried all modes
of drying, but no plan is equal, we
think, to this: Take the ripe pump
kins, pare, cut into small pieces,
stew soft, smash, and strain through
a collander, as if for making pies.
Spread this pulp on plates in layers
not quite an inch thick; dry it down
in the stovs oven, kept at so low a
temperature as not to scorch it In
shout day it will become dry and
crisp. The sheets thus made can be
stored away in dry place, and they
are always ready for use for pies or
sauce. Soak the pieces over night
in little milk, and they will return
to nice pulp, as delicious as the
fresh pumpking-we think much
more so. The quick drying after
cooking prevents any portion from
slightly souring, as is always the
case when the uncooked pieces are
dried; the flavor is much better pre-
served, and the after cooking is
saved. This plan is quite as little
trouble as the old mode, to say moth
ing of the superiority in the quality
of the material obtained. Try it,
and you will not return to the old
method, we are sure, and you will
also become great lover of pump
kin pie all the year round.-[Ger-
mantown Telegraph.
Condensed Mir.
The following is brief descrip-
ton of the manner in which con-
densed milk is manufactured at Ell
gin ILL.,: Each consignment Of milk,
after passing examination, is strain
ed and empted into the receiving
vat, whence it is conducted through
another strainer into the heating
cans, each of which holds about
twenty gallons. These cans are
placed in hot water until the milk
reaches temperature of ninety de-
grees, when it is again strained, and
drawn into large wooden vat,
where it is heated nearly to the boil
ing point by means Of steam passed
through coil of copper pipe at the
bottom of the vat. The milk then
receives an addition of one and one
quarter pounds of the best granulat.
ed sugar to each gallon, after which
it is drawn into vacuum pan of
three thousand quarts capacity, when
it is again heated by steam for about
three hours, loosing IS per cent. OF
its bulk. 1t is then drawn off into
cans holding forty quarts each.
These cans are set in large vat
containing water kept at a tempera.
ture equal to that of the milk they
contain. and when the temperature
of the milk is reduced below seventy
degrees, it is emptied into large cans
and thence drawn into small cans
holding one pound, which are i'm.
mediately sealed to exclude air, and
made ready for market. Condensed
milk is also prepared without sugar
