Destruction of Rats.

GEVERAL years ago, we took posses
- sion of an ancient mansion, in which 4
che rats reigned supreme. The nights
we're made hideous unto us by their noe
turnal rambles and gymnastics. The
revels they held banished sleep from all
but young eyes. A council OF war was
held on the side of the bipeds, and sew
oral remedies were proposed--but cats,
cats, were considered the only means of
defence; SO two good-sized grimalkins
were procured, and the conflict ragged
during whole season Many Of the
aged of the tribe went the way Of all ami
NAL flesh, but the prolificness of the
females was too much for their enemies,
the cats Another remedy was sought
and found copperas or sulphate of iron,
is very obnoxious to rats. Mix it with
whitewash, prepared in the common way,
and add the copperas until it is quite
yellow. Whtewash the whole cellar wall,
sides and ceiling, giving two coats Of it
if the underpinning is not we'll covered
at first. Scatter the green crystals Of the
copperas in every crevice and chink in
the walls; throw it broadcast into the
corners of the rooms, and your rats will
make grand stampede for other and
more agreeable quarters. AT least that
was the result from our application of it.
All night there was hurrying and sour
rying in ratdom; new home must be
sought. The next morning the cats had
rat sport in the wood house and barn the
rats were attacked, and forced to surren-
der hors dua acomJat. The cats could not
eat all their spoils in one day.
1t is now six years since the copperas
whitewash, or rather yellow wash, was
applied. Every Spring, crystals of cop
peras are thrown broadcast about the eel
lar, and no rat dares show his whisker-
head. Occasionally timid squeak or a
feeble gnawing is heard in the wall.
The sounds are from new corners, who
soon beat retreat There is no gam
boiling among the old rafters--no plan
ing ball with butternuts, as of yore, in
the midnight hours. One huge cat, Of
the masculine gender, keeps watch and
ward over the premises, but with all his
watching and prowling around, he cannot
feed himself, and is forced to seek his
meals in the kitchen. In closet where
wee mice delighted to creep and steal
iellies and sweetmeats, bits Of the cop
peras were scattered, and not trace of
them is to be seen. ~. -'l .,..
Last Autumn our neighbors were sad
ly troubled with rats; apples, parsnips,
squashes and potatoes disappeared mystic
riously, or were devoured ON the spot, but
che contents Of our boxes were untouched.
The copperas does not seem to poison
them no dead ones were found, except
ing those brought in by the cats but it
appears to be obnoxious to them, and 50
they y'' vamoose the ranch" ;n ;5ns. ' 1
The copperas is an excellent disin-
fectant; no better can be found for, pur-
flying old cellars, drains, vaults, &c. II
is used every spring to sweeten the milk
cellar, and a saucer of it always sits in
the wash stands and sinks. 1t is very
cheap-only six to eight cents per pound
