Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1897-03-11

In every section of this country there is
more or less land lying idle and bringing the
owner but little in the way of revenue. AS
The country gradually becomes more thick
ly settled; taxes on real estate grow high
er and the burden from carrying unproduc-
ing or waste land more irksome. 1t is good
business to make every foot of land yield
something to help bear it's share of the ex-
penses of the farm. This may be done in
several ways. That land which is too wet
for the pillow may be ditched or tile drained,
and thus be brought under cultivation and
production. A more difficult task will be
encountered, however, in clearing up tim
bertrand, in removing trees, stumps, grubs,
ETC., etc. For this purpose several machines
have been put upon the market, but none
are better than that made by the Milne
Manufacturing Co., 74s Eighth St., Mon
mouth, ILL.,, a thoroughly responsible firm,
whose advertisement appears in this paper
They manufacture the Hawkeye Grub and
Stump machine in several sizes, and guar
antee it to pull stumps or grubs, and to pull
up trees Of ordinary size This machine, I'M
like others, does not need to be moved for
every stump, but will clear out circle Of
two acres at one sitting. Write this firm
for catalogue, circulars, prices, etc.

An Interesting Item.

BY reason of it's mileage and location, the
Texas & Pacific Railway is the most impor-
tant of all railway lines in Texas. It trav-
erses the Lone Star State from East to
West, through the most progressive towns,
great forests of pine, and the broad prairies
and well-kept farms, affording the most
beautiful scenery all along the line. No
other line affords such opportunities for the
home seeker or investor to see and enjoy
Texas. Cheap lands for all. Low rate Home

HALF, CAT, HALF RABBIT.
Odd Freak Owned by New Jersey Bar
room Keeper.

Odd Freak Owned by New Jersey Bar
room Keeper.
Nature cuts many queer capers but no
more strange example of her oddities
can be seen in this section than a pet
which is owned by a barroom keeper in
Lambertville, N. j., says an exchange.
The animal is half cat and half rabbit
and has some of the habits and nature
of both animals, while it's anatomy con-
sists of peculiar commingling of each.
The freak from it's head to the middle
of it's body looks like an ordinary kitten,
the head and front paws being perfect
ly formed. The headquarters of the
animal are those of a rabbit, with a
typical cotton tail" The front feet
are armed with sharp, curling claws,
while the hind feet are equipped with
long, straight claws for use in running.
The fur is white, gray, black and yell
low, in spots, and in quality is in places
soft, in others harsh.
10 see it run one would think it rab-
bit, except for it's short ears. When not
IN motion it squats on it's hind legs Just
as RABBIT does and if piece of cab
bage or apple be given it it will take
it in it's front paws and nibble it con-
tentedly. This. strange animal, if. dis
turbed or maddened, evinces at times all
the nature of a cat, while again it will
run away and hide behind any object of
shelter. 1t is now about three months
old

per annuln, and, as is usually the
case, their attacks upon the high
way were not vicious or prolonged.
They had short hours for work and long
ones for dinner, and generally went
home at night feeling that they had
lad a very pleasant peaceable day.
One noon-time Baker and Barker
were taking their luncheon in the
shade, by the side of an exaggerated
creek, which flowed along toward it's
foster-parent, the river, as )azily as if
it, too, were working on the road.
There were five or six fellow-toilers in
TOOK good nap after eating, so as to re
able afterwards to precipitate them
selves upon the unmended thorough
fare in way that it would recollect
during the residue of the season.
Near where they ate and sIum bered,
a large, long log officiated as a foot
bridge across the creek. A slight
breeze was tiptoeing down the stream,
and Baker lay upon the log and en-
joyed it. He finally fell asleep there.

and rough-hewed notes from his vari-
Gus respiratory organs.

their elbows and gazed at him and each
other. He was long, large, not-par-
ticularly-clean man, and looked very
suggestive and tempting as he lay there
only few inches from the waters
surface, neatly poised OH one side of the
log.

snoring, and showed signs of awaking,
he crept to the side of his comrade,
gave him slight impulse creekward,
and lodged back. The result was that
Baker went stomach-long into the wa
ter, and awoke dreaming that he had
enlisted in Pharaoh's army, and that
il was just attempting to ford the Red
sea. .
After our victim had floundered his
way clear of the disturbed stream, he
went straight to the village and sued
Barker for assault. The case was called
next day and all the farmers were pres

The old justice before whom the case
was tried was the most ingenious prac-

very much interested in the case. After
oil the other evidence was taken, he in
