wholesale destruction of rats. Farmers
say: 81 can't get rid of the thieving
rodents" We say: Yes you can! Not
by terrier or trap always. Old rats are
artful dodgers, and soon learn to give
laws. whether steel or canine, wide
berth. But the rascals may be easily
enough taken in, and effectually taken
off, too. Arsenic-always arsenic; only
il must be real arsenic-not half mag
nesia and the other half rye flour. Half
the arsenic sold by druggists is so vii
lianously adulterated that pint of it
would not kill hummingbird. Get
pure arsenic, and then prepare ii proper
ly as follows:
First, incorporate thoroughly quar-
ter of pound Of the poisiOn with an
equal weight of pure sweet lard. Put
il in tin can with close cover, and
put the can safely away where neither
boys, girls or hired help-no one but
yourself can lay hands on it.
When you are going to rat and mice
killing. mix an ounce or so of the salve
with a half pound of corn meal, wet
ND with water into cake baked about
half done, break into small bits, and
place these in the holes and runways of
the yermin. Both rats and mice will
eat arsenic short cake greedily when
they went even nibble at dry meal and
arsenic. The practice followed up will
fix every rodent robber and the quarter
of a pound of poison will keep the coast
clear for at least year. There need be
no danger Of poisoning anybody else, as
the bits of cake are thrust into holes
and crevices where only rats and mice
can get ut it. IA

the Emperor, which sunk at the head of
the canal at p. NJ. on Wednesday, was
living with her bow in ten, and her stern

that she has broken in two between the
cylinders and boilers, but says her cargo
will be recovered in damaged condi-
ton. The Emperor left Cincinnati on
Tuesday evening, with about $50 tuns
of produce. meats, whisky, &c, valued
at $4,000 the bulk of which is insured
in Cincinnati offices. The Emperor was
built at Pittsburgh, in March, 1868, by
