tinues favourable, the harvest will be general this week.
An instance of the predilection of rats for
strong ale occurred to an innkeeper of Stirling. Ile had, about
six weeks ago, placed en the fiver of an-old malt kiln a thirty
pint cask of ale, to bring it to a fit state for bottling. To his
astonishment, on. going to the cask on Wednesday week, he
found it nearly empty, -and was at no loss to discover the de-
predators, for the'cork was nibbled away to a small shell;
which only remained in the cask. The innkeeper, on going into
an adjoining granary, had 'frequently seen the rats in merry
n-oupes friking and gamboling about, but never dreamt that
they had made themselves groggy with his nappy ale. They
had the sagacity to make a ea-nail hole at first, and to enlarge it
as required; for it did not appear at if any of the ale had drop-
ped on the floor.
