The Wheat Prospects.

In some localities where the farm
ers were not sufficiently liberal in
the use of seed there are too many
weeds and too few wheat stalks
but generally throughout Minnesota
the prospects are excellent, much
better. so far as we can gather, than
in any other state. The general
wheat crop of 1879 does not promise
to be large one. California has
suffered from drouth; so have Kan
sas and Nebraska. In Wisconsin
the dry weather was prolonged to a
later period than i'll Minncsota, and
the grain did not get so early start.
The winter wheat reagions generally
do not expect a full crop. If the
grasshoppesrs do not interfere we
do not see any reason why Minneso-
ia should not have very large crop
OF wheat and sell it at prices much
higher than those received for the
last crop. With the thrush of set
tiers our state is certain to be pros
porous if the crop is only moderate.
With 4 big crop and high prices it
will fairly boom.

SENATOR S. J. r. MCMILLAN.

Lake City Leader.
We have often asserted that our
young State had reason for special
self-congratulation in possessing two
such representative in the L. S
Senate as s. J. r. Mcmillan and
VIM. Window. Time only proves
to all, that our State stand among
the very first in that exalted body
in the characte + and ability of her
Senators. While Senator Mcmillan
has not taken SO prominent part in
the debates of Congress as his Older
Senatorial colleaguc-older as rep
resentative of our State-he has new
ertheless done deal of the most i'm
portant work of that body-work on
important committees, where dlstin
guished ability alone is in demand.
In this direction, indeed, Minnesota
has been especially complimcnted
Mr.: McMillan's ripe scholarship
and attainments in the law, and his
far-seeing ability as statesman
made him a noticeable member OF
the Senate early in his experience
therein, and from that time to the
present he has been assigned to con
slant labor in the important branch
es where such mind as his is abso
lntclv demanded.

From the returns of thirty dairies
in the State of New York as the ba-
sis, Mr.. 3. D. Gilbert, of Utica, fig
ures out the expenses OF producing
butter and cheese during the past
year In these dairies the average
yield of milk was $500 pounds
from each OF 939 cows. The aver
ag cheese product was one pound to
to 9 sl-l0O pounds Of milk, making
542 pounds OF cheese per COW, which
sold on an average for s 6l-lO0 cents
per pound. The average mony pro-
duct per COW was s7.55 for the sea-
son. The entire expenses of feed
ing, labor, manufacturing cheese,
etc, averaged s37.70 per COW, leav
ing s7.55 as the small apparent bal
ance of profit. The conclusions Of
Mr.. Gilbert are that "not one cheese
dairy in 20 has come anywhere near
making its expenses during the past
year.
1t may be remarked in connection
with the above, that here in this
western country, where the cost of
keeping cows is small compared
with New York and other Eastern
States, it is reasonable to assume
that the business of cheese making
properly and intelligently conduct
ed, must yield handsome profit,
and especially so where associated
effort takes the place of individual
operations, as in cheese factories.
Certainly there is no ground for dis
couragemcnt to Minnesota dairymen
in the figures obove psesented.-

STARTLING INVENTION.

An invention has recently been
made in England which casts into
the shade all previous advances in
labor-saving machin cry, and bids fair,
for a time at least, to restore to
British manufactures that trade Of
which the American have been grad
ually depriving them during the last
few years. When, some weeks ago,
we read OF this invention in our
English exchanges, we could scarcely
credit it that the march of mproy e
nent could reach thus far. In u mill
near Lowmoor, in the vicinity of
Bradford, England, there is now
running machinery which is left As
hours without any person attending
to it, working the whole of that time,
and producing beautiful fabric
without any flaw in the goods or
mistake in the machine. This mill
is now running 1872 hours per week,
starting on Monday morning at half
past 5, aad running until Saturday
night at ~ o'clock, only stopping the
machinery during the day for clean
ing. During that time the fabulous
quantity of 100000 yard of fabric
can be produced, the machines also
working 4s hours without attention
or labor of any sort, and they are
then replenished with warps in the
incredibly short time of Is minutes,
one girl being all that is employed
to do this part of the work, and all
that being completed during the day
time. The machinery is thus left
working, and producing most beau
tiful fabric entirely by itself from
half-past in the evening until half
past the following morning; and
during the time it has been running
it has fully realized the expectations
of the inventor. The goods produced
by this new invention are improved
in appearance, and what was sold be-
fore at f2 IS cd. is now selling at 24s.
A visitor to the mills says: 1t was
very curious that on approaching the
buildings we could hear the rumble
of machinery, and yet every part of
the mills, with the exception of the
cashiers room, which was lighted by
a parafine lamp, was in total dark
ness. We could not detect single
inch of gas-piping, for none is re.
quired. The machines can work as
well in the dark as in the light be.
cause they do not require any human
attention.
With reference to the manufacture
of yarns it may be stated that one
girl, who is paid at the rate of l4s
per week, can produce fl, 900 worth
of these goods in six days In fact
the quantity does not i'll any way
form an item of labor.
There is no doubt that the inven
ton is great commercial success, az
it has been running now for more
than two months without hitch OF
failure. 1t is probable that the pr;n
ciple will be applicable to other de
partments of industry.

Death Rate in Various Occupations.

Nobody doubts that the occupation
of an individual has much to do with
his general health, and with his
chances of death. Statistics prove
that the death rate is lowest among
scientists and professional men-not
physicians; then follow Protestant
clergymen, engineers, farmers and
laborers; next carpenters, machinists,
and workers in iron; then come
schoolmasters, tobacconists, physic-
ians, and finally the clergy of the
Roman Catholic church, among
whom the mortality is much greater
! than among the Protestant clergy
and the other professions named.
Next we have druggists and butchers,
then miners and glass manufacturers,
plumbers and coppersmiths, railway
employs and dock laborers, and last
of all carmen, cahmen, horsekeepers,
and inn-keeperS, among whom the
mortality is greatest, and much more
| than double that Of the first mentioned
occupation.
The deduction which may be drawn
from these facts are very instructive
and practically useful; they prove
that the quiet pursuits of science tend
to prolony life, as well as outdoor la
Dor, provided it is not on railways
or among shipping or horses; that
to work in iron is more wholesome
than to work in lead or copper,
rs might be expected, while the con
fined labor of schoolmaster is as
Injurious lis the state of celibacy OF
the Roman Catholic priest; lastly, the
inn-keepers. being most exposed tc
the temptation OF intemperance, have
the least chance for a long lie. as
well as those with whom they habit
ually keep company. So says the
Manufacturer ;tlu Builder.
