HOT WEATHER.

This has been the hottest day for
some years. The mercury started in
at daybreak at 6S degrees and rose
until it reached 90 degrees in the
shade during the early part OF the af-
ternOon. 1t receded very slowly, re-
naming at 90 for some time. There
was a strong south wind that caused
the moisture in the ground to evapOr-
ate very rapidly. The country needs
rain very badly. The precipitation
during June was only one-half the
amount, while the month was the
hottest since 1873. There has been
no rain thus far this month, worth
mentioning, and the heat has been
very great.
The Signal Service predicts
showers, and cooler by tomorrow af-
ternOOn.

WANTON DESTRUCTION OF FISH.

An eye witness to a dynamite eX-
plosion caused by the use of this ex-
plosive recently in the Blue Earth
river, for the purpose of killing fish
therein, states that the water rose
from the spot in a mighty geyser-like
column some sixty or eighty feet
high. He says also that the prepetra.
tors picked up about II dozen good
sized fish that were dead floating on
the water, and reached down and
took several that sunk to the bottom,
leaving the smaller fish and minnows
which were destroyed to foul the
river.
The person further states that af
ter the men had put on their shoes
and left this spot, he saw other fish
floating down upon the stream, and
from the time elapsed the deadly eff,
feet of the explosion must have reach.
ed many rods up the river.
Our citizens should endeavor to stoL
such wanton destruction.

MANKATo FREE Press,
ADVICE TO FARMERS.

Prof. Otto Lugger spent yesterday
in the city, and was busy all day at
tending to the chinch bug infection
boxes, of which there are now two at
the mill. Before going away he hand
ed us the following for publication,
which should be carefully followed by
the farmers whose fields contain
chinch bugs:
The small grains are ripenlng and
consequently becoming unit as 1000
for the bugs, which can only live upon
fluids. AS consequence the bugs
will be forced to migrate in search OF
food. They have evidently acute
senses for some of them tell the bugs
where suitable food can be found.
This is the growing corn. Nearly all
the chinch bugs travel together TO-
wards the nearest corn field, and as
even those that have wings are not
apt to use them, they march on foot.
This being the case, most OF the bugs
can be killed.
To accumulate and kill them as
they pass from field to field, a deep
furrOw may be plOwed, to be kept
clean and as friable as possible, eSpec-
tally on the vertical side next TO the
field to be protected so IN TINS the
accommodating bugs may be Killed by a
mixture of kerosene and water (aOOut
one part to eight thoroughly and re-
peatedly shaken together a Varla-
tiOn of this method used very success
fully in Wisconsin is to lay quantity
of green wheat, or oats, Or fresh corn
stalks in the furrow, in which the
chinch bugs can be killed with the
kerosene mixture as they accumulate.
An added measure Of success may
be secured if two parallel burrows are
made instead of one, and the soil be-
tween them be kept dusty. The
chinch bugs escaping the kerosene
mixture or other destructive agent in
the outer furrow could be killed in
the second. If they succeed in pass
ing these barriers and collect upon
the outer rows of corn they may there
be killed with kerosene, which should
then be applied in the form OF an
emulsion to prevent injury to the corn
itself. To prepare this fluid, mix two
parts of kerosene with one part OF
strong hot SOap-SudS and vigorously
agitate the mixture with a hand force
pump until perlndnenUCIcdll VI odU-
ter is formed. This may then be dl-
luted with ten or twelve parts of
water and applied either with a
sprinkler or in spray from hand
force pump.
There are other methods to prevent
the bugs from reaching the corn. A
thick rope made of hay or straw, sat
uTated with water and kerosene oil
will prevent them from crossing. This
rope should be kept wet. The bugs
gathered in front can be disposed OF
IN many ways. Loose straw laid be-
tween old grain fields and the corn
field to be protected, will gather inn
mense numbers of chinch bugs, here
they can be destroyed by fire. Even a
fence made of boards, one foot broad,
and kept in a upright position by some
pegs, which prevent the bugs from
crossing, if the upper edge Of the
board is coated with tar, or with soap
and kerosene oil. Many other ways
will suggest themselves to the think
ing farmer. At all events he can
keep the bugs out of his corn fields
with proper care.

Glasses, at the Mapleton Summer
School commencing July 10th, will be
organized in all common school
branches, also literature, pedagogy,
psychology and vocal music. Glasses
will also be organized in first grade
branches, as far as possible to accom-
modate those able to pursue such If
desired by reasonable number.
Pedagogy or psychology are compul-
sorry studies. Teachers are restricted
to three branches only outside of those
above named. Books-In the common
branches the books recommended last
year for uniform use in the county
will be made the basis of instruction.
The Superintendent would recon-
mend that those teachers not owning
same, and not feeling able to purchase,
borrow from their resident districts
or from those wherein they teach. 1t
is suggested that teachers bring what
books they have for future help and
reference. Arrangements have been
made whereby all books can be pur-
chased after arrival by those desiring
them. The County Superintendent
will cheerfully extend any help to
teachers, aiding them to secure enter
tainment at the mostreasonable rates.
No third grade certificate will be is
sued during the next school year to
those who do not attend this training
school. AS the work has been plan
ned with special reference to this
county, and the county being the unit
of supervision, teachers herein who
attend summer school outside OF
Minneapolis are expected to be pres.
ent at Mapleton in order to become
acquainted with the plans for the i'm,
provement of all the schools in the
county.

THE PUBLIC BUILDING.

The city editor of this paper has re-
ceived a letter from Congressman Nc
Cleary, dated Washington, July It'll
which will be of interest to all of oul
citizens, as it touches upon points
raised in these columns. 1t is as fol.
lows:
''FOr some time have given special
attention to the matter of our public
building. | have been specially con-
cerned to see that we get the full
benefit of the appropriation, and that
our home stone have due considera-
tion
1.-THE bids for the SuperStructure in
dictate that considerable sum would
remain uneXpended, in consequence
Of the fact that material and labor are
cheaper than when the building was
planned. Upon consultation with the
architect of the treasury, | find that
it would be impracticable to enlarge
the building. But he assures me that
out of the money saved, we shall have
many 'betterments. Thus, where
pine was to be used, we shall have
oak; the tiling will be of better
quality, the supports in the second
story will be of iron instead of wood ;
and we shall have better building
generally than was originally de-
signed.
"As to the stone, the lowest bid was
for Mankato or Kasota stone. But
our samples on exhibition here are not
good ones, and the supervising archi-
tect strongly favors using Indiana
limestone, the stone that has the
next lowest bid. He takes his posi-
tion honestly, preferring as a matter
of principle home men and home ma
terialS, and basing his conclusions on
the samples submitted. He has prom
ised me, however, not to award the
contract until 1 have had an oppOr.
tunity of submitting arguments and
opinions. Since the opening OF the
bids, | have vigorously protested
against the use of any but home stone.
Senators Davis and Washburn and
Representative Kiefer, Fletcher,
Tawney, Hall, Baldwin and Boen are
aiding me. l have wired to Senator
Barr for home endorsements of Oul
stone. Though the judgment of the
supervising architect is strongly in
favor of the Indiana stone, he evi.
IDENTIFY intends to treat us fairly; and
| am hoping that with prompt and
vigorous action we can secure the use
of our home stone.
Very truly yours,
j. II. MCCLEARY."
This shows that no effort is lacking
at Washington to secure the use OF
local stone, and if after all foreign
stone is decided upon, no one can fine
any fault with, our representatives
While home stone would be much
preferred, yet rather than delay the
building another year for so small q
contract, the general sentiment among
our business men seems to be in favor
of accepting what we can get and hav
ing the building completed as soon as
possible. 1t will be satisfaction tC
know that instead of large slice OF
the appropriation being turned back
into the treasury, the building is tC
be made more elegant in many re-
spects.
