CATCHING RATS.

A writer in the Rural Ne,u Yorker,
treating of trapping vermin generally,
says the following of catching rats in

"Let us now take tho case of a
house badly infested with rats. How
shall we get rid of them2 OF course.

ry one of them --old, cunning fellows
and all. In the first place, then, we
must resolve to take time to it and
capture the whole lot, aud to do this
no attempt must be made to capture
single animals, since this will tend to
make them suspicious and will put the
old ones on their guard. Then pro.
vide large box or barrel; place in
it quantity of old carpet, brush, ETC.,
and also some food, such as meal,
cheese, herring, etc. Bore two inch
hole in the side of the box, and leave
it for some days. The rats will soon
find it out and frequent it. First a
young one will go in, and have good
feed and come out all right; the old
ones seeing that he is not hurt, they,
too, will go in, and in a short time
every rat about the premises will fire.
quent it. When this occurs, see that
it is well supplied with food, and ar
range over the hole block having a
corresponding aperture cut in it, but
having also series of wires stuck
around the hole and pointing inward,
just as they are arranged in common
wire trap. Every rat will go in as
before, aud not one can get out. Vari-
Gus methods may be adopted for kill
ing them. If you are sportsman
you can let them out one at time
and shoot them or kill them with ter.
riers. A few slips of sulphured pa
per thrust through the hole and burned,
is, however, a very simple plan, and
will give them most effectual quietus.
We have known case in which sixty.

cleared of the vermln."

THE HINDMOsT TAKES THE LANTERN

In all monasteries monks are apt to
be tardy at midnight vigils and drow-
sy when in their seats. Their peccadil-
loes were however shrewdly curbed by
an abbot who once OF dained that
whoever entered the chapel last should
carry lantern round and round till
he caught some brother mapping. Then
he might rouse the sleeper, hand him
the lantern and take his seat, while
the other set out in quest of sleepers.
1t fares with land-hunters as with
monks. Those who take time by the
fore lock, take the most comfortable
places, but the laggards must take
their lapterDs, and pace many weary
round before they can catch ono OF
their forerunners mapping and oust
him. ~
The public domain is so large, that
if homesteaders occupy it no faster
than they did in the last decade, they
will not exhaust it till the end of five
centuries. But in truth they take il
up faster and faster, and the desirable
portion of public lands is less than
half its area. The acres within reach
of railroads are still smaller frac-
tion. Among the three thousand who
have bought farms in Nebraska of the
Burlington & Missouri River Rail
road, every man in going to his pur-
chase, has probably passed homesteads
every way as valuable, which he might
once have occupied as free grants. We
all know hoio if we only knew lChen.
But the best thing about Nebraska
is, that the government has sold none
of its newer portions to speculatoIs
but that its matchless farms are owned
by railroad whose line is valueless till
the country it traverses is settled and
improved. Hehce the low rates, fares
freights, interest, the rebate for speedy
culture, the long credit, and long-de'
