 THE GLACIAL LAKE AGASSIZ--Chapter XI
Fluctuations of lakes and streams.--Through the past hundred years maximum and minimum stages of the great Laurentian lakes have alternated [p.595] in cycles of about a dozen years, during which comparatively scanty average rainfall for several years was followed by unusually abundant rainfall.
The elevations of the former shores of Stump Lake were determined by leveling on the northern slope of a promontory of till, which was an island at the time of the higher shore-lines, rising by 1,458 feet, in the east part of section 21, township 151, range 61.
The principal grasses cultivated for hay in the prairie region of Lake Agassiz are the Italian millet, or Hungarian grass (Setaria italica Kunth), and timothy (Phleum pratense L.).

 REMINISCENCES OF SARATOGA AND BALLSTON, Chap. XI, Lake Saratoga. - Its Early Piscatory History.
FORMERLY, Lake Saratoga was noted for its remarkable fishing and during the interregnum between the first and second battles of Behmus Heights, when the British army were in want of food, the Indians were in the habit of supplying General Burgoyne's table with trout of a delicious flavor caught in its bright waters.
Trout, however, are yet occasionally taken in Lake Lonely or the Little Lake; but these are not really inhabitants of that sheet of water, but come down from the two creeks that empty into it.
All things, however, they say, have their compensations; and if Lake Saratoga can no longer boast of its fine fishing, perhaps the loss will be more than made up by its being the finest sheet of water in America for the holding of inter-collegiate and national regattas.
