IL NOVEL METHOD OF CATCHING MICE
a. correspondent of the Journal of Phar-
nascy says: Having on several occa-
siuns noticed mice in our seed barrels, I
bethoaght me of some method how
might trap the little intruders they
isaei gained entrance by eating through
tSie chime. TO kill them with a stick
WAS in1practicable, as they would inva-
risbly escape as soon as the lid was
raised to any height. [ then thought
aE saturating piece of cloth with chic
reform and throwing it in, then closing
tsa's lid. On raising it again in few
rsainutes, found that life had almost
cs quite departed. Having on one oc-
GsSion left the piece of cotton in the
barrel, on again returning, found three
Hsice with their heads in close contact
wath it, and dead In the evening l
saturated another piece, and placed it
En the barrel, and on opening it the
ssxs morning, to my surprise I found
nSne dead mice.
