DR.. Smith, Of Boston, in conversation
in the Legislative club. related the follow

or two be caught and well daubcd with
tar and lei loose again, the other rats will
tnrn upon them. and will become daubed
themselves; and the result, will be civil
war. which will clear Them from the
promises. Another method is TO mix a
table spoonful ofplAs!cr OF Paris in a cup
full Of Indian meal, with a little sugar,
which will destroy them. Throwing
pulveriscd potash in their paths will give
Them such sore fee! as will cause them to
lorsake these paths altogether. This lat.
ter statement may be true, but they easily

Burn Tie Piles Of Straw.-In some
of our western districts i, is healthy until
ii has been settled Il few years, when ie.
vers begin 10 make their appearance a.
mong the inhabitants. Dilleren, causes
are assigned why 1t is sickly. One cause
undoubtedly is, the vegetable matter was
no, annually burnt. as when the hunter,
was lord OF the soil. Some OF our FAR
MRS, in the eager pursu,, after wealth,
SOW large fields ofgrain, which when har-
vested and 'hreshed, the straw is left in
heaps to decomposc. Nature demands
the ashes OF This straw, or the manure
that it makes, 10 nourish and grow sue.
ceeding crops. II manure is lef, to dc
compose and waste away in gases, il
must endanger the health oC the farmers
family.
In certain districts IN England and
Scotland, aguc and fever were prevalen,
century ago; but as moist land has be.
come drained, manure heaps removed,
dwelling houses enlarged and made more
comfortable, those districts have become
salubrlous, and ague is now unknown.
As this western country becomes more
thickly settled, aud an improved system
OF agricultural is pracliced those districts
will Become saubrious,
Nature does rot allow animals or veg.
etables to increase beyond certain limits.
For the animal kingdom she has provided
the vulture tribe 10 devour pu,rescen,
bodies. In the vegetable kingdom she
has provided the voracious Indian corn
which has TO remain stationary, and send
oul It's ;ibrous roots for nullimen,. Now
II farmers Withhold this nutrmen,, by col.
lec,'ns vegetable matter in heaps to ro,
anu waste away, sooner or later they
must pay The penalty nature demands, in
loss Of health and light crops.-J. n. Car.
