that rs years ago there was hard
ly farm in Minnesota and adds:
"When the first installment of
surveyed land was opened to settle
ment in 1853, the rural popula-
ton jumped from a few thousand
to more than 100000 in Is years.
By 1870, there were 46,500 farms
in the state and in the past 55
years this number has increased to
188,000."
ssWith the average production
of farm products now amounting
to upwards of 900 millions of do,-
lars, Minnesota in the brief span
of a lifetime has leaped the bar
riers to agricultural progress and
become an important part of the
greatest food producing region in
the world"
The statement also shows how
Minnesota has grown industrially,
pointing out that its manufactured
products now are worth more than
a billion dollars a year. The adj
vantage of the great terminal mar
kets in st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth are set forth, and attention
is called to the many other assets
of the cities.
,, Minnesota, with approximately
$500 farmers cooperative as
sociations, has become the leading
state in the Union in the develop
ment of cooperative markets for
farm products" the statement con-
tinues. "The total business of CO.
operative institutions of the state
amount to sos, 100000 a year.
There are more than 600 farmer
owned and controlled cooperative
creameries in the state"
H. C. Hotaling, secretary of the
Ten Thousand Lakes of Minnesota
Association, believes that the adj
vertising of these resources will
gain many new residents for Min
nesota.
'There are opportunities in all
lines in Minnesota" he says, "and
many who come here as vacation
lists will investigate the possibili-
ties here and become permanent
residents if we let them know what
We have"

Liners All Equipped
for Church Services

Aboard the great ocean liners
church affairs are considered an in
dispensable detail of the equip
ment. A generation ago religious
services at sea were held irregu-
larly, depending on the chance
presence of a clergyman. Now
transatlantic liners hold Roman
Catholic and Protestant services at
sea on Sunday. !,
Passengers from all cabins meet
at the church services. Invitations
to the service are commonly post
ed throughout the ship every Sum
day morning. The priest or clergy
man officiating is usually assisted
by ship stewards acting as sacris-
tans. One large line that operates
many steamers in the transatlan-
tic service has a Roman Catholic
alter on board each vessel. The
linen used on the affairs is pre-
pared by Sisters of Charity in the
ports Of call on either side Of the
Atlantic. The altar cloths used in
the Church of England services are
cared for by churches in New York
and in the European ports Of call.

Costly Medicines for
Patients of Long Ago

Modern lovers need no doctor to
tell them that gold and precious
gems are good prescriptions "to
ease the passion of the heart" but
in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth
centuries they applied the merce-
nary cure inwardly. The following,
culled from Customs and Fashions
of Old New England" was highly
recommended, says the Detroit
News:
"Take damask roses half-blown,
cut off their whites; and stamp
them very fine, and strayne out the
juice very strong; moisten it in the
stamping with little Damask rose
water; then put thereto fine pow
der sugar and boyle it gently to a
fine syrup; then take powdered
Amber, Pearls, Rubies, of each
half a dram, Ambergreese one
scruple, and mingle them with the
said syrup till it be somewhat
thick. Take q little thereof on
knife's point morning and evening""
Doctor Gilford's amber Pills for
Consumption" contained a large
quantity of pearls, white amber and
coral as did also Lady Kent's pow
der. Sir, Edward Spencer's eye
salve was rich in powdered pearls
and so were many other medicines
of the time. . 49,. p,

Look to Beaver for
Abatement of Floods

; Beaver raising Is encouraged by
the Department of Agriculture as
a source of valuable fur and to
help in flood prevention, says Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. Expert
ments already show that the ami
mails can be successfully grown 'un-
der semi-domestic conditions; that
they are easily tanned and also in
crease more rapidly than in wild
surroundings, even under control
and protection. It Is pointed out
/ that many acres Of land now un-
used could be adapted to beaver
cultivation. On timber land that
has been cut over, there is a suffi-
GENTLY large later growth to sup
port the animals, and the dams
they build would help supply for
the dry seasons. The damage the
animals did in the, past by telling
valuable trees and flooding low
lands could, be overcome in the fu-
ture by proper. fencing and trap
ping. | 49,. :..,
