How TO GET BID OF. RArs.-For some
years, was considerably annoyed with rats.
| tried ysriou. "vcrmin poisons," traps, etc,
with very little success, until thought ola
mode which. we adopted for destroying dogs
that used 10 trouble our rabbit arren. in the
old country. So got quantityeof old bro
ken bottles, and window-giass, and with a
hammer, ,;and an old anvil, tritursted it pretty
fine. Ithen sifted the coarse, part out, and
mixed cupful Of the tiqc glass With q cup7
ful of -four, and another of oatmeal, and,
scen,ing it with few drops cfthe essence OF
auiseed to attract them, placed it ON boards
in the cellar. They ate it up 50 fast that one
of the family observed, that, instead of pos
oning, it mhs, fatten them; but a few day
told :s,diffcrent story. The last mess served
for them remains untouched yet, though put
down last fall, and'no appearance of rat or
mouse, living or dead, since. The mixture
must be kept from children, dogs, and Other
silly animals. as it wcaid kill them as well a:
the rats. 80:
