A kiln of red bricks, inferior in quality because cracked after burning by particles of limestone contained in the clay or sand used, was burned by I. C. Trowbridge several years ago in Woodville beside the railroad one and a half miles east of Waseca. No brick-making has since been undertaken in that vicinity. Clay suitable for this use, having no gravel, is said to occur on two or three acres of J. A. Canfield’s land in section 3, Otisco, at about sixty rods northeast from his house.
