RAT RENTS.

There are sections in Minnesota and
northwestern Iowa of naturally
marshy prairie lands which are the
home of the muskrat, which during
wet seasons multiply In enormous
quantities. These rodents select the
swamps to live in, constructing their
haycock winter homes by the thou
sand. The pursuit Of these rats dur
ing the winter season gives employ
ment to many men and boys, the fur
being valuable and worth about ~
cents apiece The business has be-
come so systemized that rat marsh
is worth to the owner more per acre
in rent than If it were the finest and
most productive corn land, the usual
rental being $5 per acre. Aside from
man the chief enemy OF the muskrat is
the mink, which in dry seasons slaugh-
ters them by the thousand. In wet
seasons, however, the rat has chance
for his life when pursued by the mink
by taking to the water. The homely
rat skin is so manipulated by expert
furriers that it later reappears under
other names as costly fur for the use
Of the fashionable society dame.

Hail at Grand Forks.

A hail storm, the most terrific
ever experienced there, passed
over Grand Forks yesterday at
noon. The hail stones we're large,
irregular chunks of ice and did
great damage to windows and sky
lights. Teams of horses were scar
ed, causing many ,runaways. Rain
fell in torrents. The Herald esti-
mates the damage in the city at
$25, 900. The storm was of short
duration and not extensive. No
hail is reported along the St. Vim.

here.

Concerning Dogs.

The SHEAF calls attention to the
notice Of the Board of Health pub
lished this week ordering all own
ers or keepers of dogs within the
city to have same muzzled. There
is an epidemic of rabies in the val
ley and it. is necessary to take
strongest precautionary measures.
At Crookston several dogs have
gone mad, and several persons bit
ten. A farmer named Anderson
near St. Hilaire was bitten by his
own dog, symptoms of rabies devel-
oped and it became necessary for
him to make a race with death to the
Pasteur Institute at Chicago. In
this city the four year old girl of
H. O. Furuseth was bitten by mad
dog that afterwards was killed, ex-
amined, and found infected with the
disease, though no symptoms of the
disease have as yet appeared in the
child. Farmers, we think, ought to
keep their dogs at home and watch
their actions closely. The disease
is one of the mCst terrible known to
medical science and incurable, even
by the Pasteur treatment, after the
symptoms of the disease make their
appearance.

F|REMEN'S TOURNEY
Warren Wins Prizes at BIackduck
and Secures Tournament
next year.

The Warren fremen returned
home Saturday from the tournament
at Blackduck, well pleased with
their outing and in good spirits,
they having won about a hundred
dollars in prizes, secured the
tournament next year, and elected
their chief A. B. Nelson, president
OF the association, and O. H.
Taralseth, one of their number, Sec
retary. They speak very highly of
the way they were entertained by
the people of Blackjack. The
Warren band, also, which accompa-
MED the fremen, won many honors
and were in constant demand, more
than holding their own with bands
much older in practice.

CROP REPORT
For Week Ending June 24th
by U. S. Department of
Agriculture.

The temperatures were low much
of the week in most parts of the
state, with light frosts in northern
and central portions on the morning
of the 22nd. There were rains on
the Goth, 23rd and Oath, with
scattered showers on other dates
also. On the 23rd and 24th moder-
ately heavy rains locally were
attended by severe thunderstorms,
high winds and little hail, and
lightning caused the death of two or
more persons. The lowlands are
very wet, and all meadows are
flooded; crops on these soils are
either suffering considerably from
the excess of moisture, or they are
alredy drowned out. On the up
lands spring wheat, oats, barley,
fax and rye are growing very
rapidly, and on the rich soils there
is a decided tendency to lodge.
Early spring wheat, oats, barley are
heading in southern portions. A
little rust is reported on wheat in
Chippewa, Lac qui Parle, Yellow
Medicine, Lincoln, Lyon, Cotton
wood, Martin, Blue Earth, Fari-
bault, LeSueur and Rice counties.
Early potatoes are coming into
blossom. Potatoes and corn are not
growing as rapidly as they should
because of the cool weather and the
lack of proper cultivation. Timothy
is heading we'll, and clover is in
bloom; some clover has been cut for
hay, but hay-making is difficult in
showery weather. The wild grasses
are mostly under water. Strawber
ries are generally a good crop, anc
raspberries are coming on we'll
Apples are good in southeastern
portions, but blight is affecting the
trees farther west.

Lost His Mind.

John +. Kile, a farmer living
about three miles east of this city,
in town of McCrea, was adjudged
insane by Probate Judge Holm on
Monday and sent to the asylum at
Fergus Falls. His case is a par
ticularly sad one and is said to have
been caused by undue religious
excitement. Some time ago he be-
came devotee of the sect known as
the holy rollers" having adher-
ents at Stephen and elsewhere in
the county. He attended a meeting
OF these people in Stephen, where
he performed the act of baptism for
one of the members, "a woman.
His religious frenzy was worked up
to such a pitch that signs of mental
failure became noticed, the malady
increasing upon his return home.
His mind was constantly on Chris
tian Science and faith cures" for
every ailment of man or beast. AT
last he became a raving maniac, and
when taken to the asylum he had
to be tied to cot and carried. His
case is one of the most sad and
hopeless of all that have ever come
before the probate court in this
county, and recovery is very doubt
full. He has a wife and a number
of children.

The Crops.

While there has been an over
abundance of moisture we hear no
serious damage done to grain in
this vicinity on that score. The
weather has continued rather cool
for rapid gsowth. The SHEAF has
interviewed many farmers from diff
ferent parts of the county and all
say the wheat is looking fine with
no sign Of rust thus far. To-day
the sun is bright and warm, with
indications of settled weather.

A BIG SUCCESS
Was School Boards and Teachers
Convention Held at Warren
this Week.

About Is teachers and members
of school boards. assembled at the
school house Tuesday morning to
consider questions pertaining to the
welfare of the schools. County
Superintendent Mithun called the
convention to order after which
Rev. Geo. E. Tindall led in prayer.
Supt. William Angus, of the War
ren school, then delivered the ad-
dress of welcome in the course of
which he expressed the hope that
this country may never expend
more money for the support of the
army and navy than for educational
purposes. -
State Supt. Olson had been ex-
pected to be present but could not
owing to the death of his father.
In his place had come Prof. A. W.
Rankin, state inspector of graded
schools, who was introduced and in
very interesting talk discussed
the problem of ventilation in rural
schools. This is an important
question which has been sadly neg
lected in our schools. He ex-
planned the best methods of heating
and ventilating country school
houses. Assistant county superin-
tendent Parkhill, Of Otter Tail
county, elaborated on the remarks
of Mr.. Rankin and explained the
methods that had been found most
successful in his county. A gentle
man representing a heating and
ventilating concern was present
and explained his system. Gener-
ally speaking, the stove should be
an upright one, placed in one
corner Of the room. enclosed in a
jacket, and furnished with a fue
for conveying pure air from the out
side and another for carrying off
the impure air from the room. The
discussion of this topic alone was
worth all it cost to get up this con-
vention, and general improve
ment in the heating and ventilation
of school buildings can now be
looked for in the county.
In the afternoon the following
topics were discussed: ''The Prob
lem of Rural Schools "How Can
we Secure Better Attendance at
School," and rs the Teachers Sal
ary High Enough?" were discussed,
great deal of interest and enthus-
iasm being manifested. Rev. T. F.
Fulton favored the convention with
a solo. President Weld of the
Moorhead Normal was prevented by
sickness from coming, hence the
lecture for the evening was aban-
dOned.
The convention was continued
Wednesday forenoon. So we'll
pleased we're the participants, that
it was voted to make the innovation
a permanent feature. A similar
convention will be held next year.
A teachers association will also be
formed in the near future.

Cream Business a Success,

The selling of cream is getting to
be quite an industry here, judging
from the large number Of cream
cans that are loaded and unloaded
at the depot almost daily. The
money distributed each month for
cream sold amounts to 10 small
sum, and the farmers are beginning
to appreciate the Importance Of the
cream business as they have never
done before. It furnishes them
ready cash at a time of the year
when they have little else to, sell
and keeps down their store bills.
The method Of handling the cream
product by the business men Of
Warren is getting to be liked by
the farmers generally, and many
are increasing the number of their
