Catching Rats.

A writer in the Rural Nev York.
cr treating of trapping vcrmin gen.
orally, says the following of catch.
ing rats in particular:
"Let us now take the case of a
house badly infested by rats. How
shall we get rid of them? Of course
if they come from some public sew
or or other colony, the supply is
probably unlimited, and the first
thing must be to cut off all outsiders.
But if we are troubled by none but
natives it will not require much
skill to get rid of every 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, and to do this no attempt
must be made to capture single ami
mails, since this will tend to make
them suspicious, and will put them
on their guard. Then provide a
large box or barrel; place in it a
quantity of old carpet, brush, etc.,
and also some food, such rs meal,
cheese, herring, etc. Bore a 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 young one will go in and
have a good feed and come out all
right; the old ones, seeing he is not

In Onion is Strength.

am quite ashamed to take peo-
pie into my garden and have them
notice the absence of onions. 1t is
very marked. In onion is strength;
and garden without it lacks flavor.
The onion in its satin wrappings IS
among the most beautiful Of vcgeta-
bles, and it is the only one that rep
resents the essence of things. 1t
can almost be said to have soul.
You take off coat after coat, and the
onion is still there; and, when the
last one is removed, who dare say
that the onion itself is destroyed,
though you can weep over its de-
parted spirit? l know there is sup
posed to be prejudice against the
onion, but l think there is rather a
cowardice in regard to it.
doubt not all men and women
love the onion; but few confess their
love. Affection for it is concealed.
Good New Englanders are as shy
Of owning it as they are of talking
about religion. Some people have
days on which they eat onions
what you might call "retreats," or
their "Thursdays." The act is in
the nature of religious ceremony,
and Eleusinian mystery; not a
breath of it must get abroad On
that day they see no company; they
deny the kiss OF greeting to the
dearest friend; they retire within
themselves and hold communion
with one Of the most pungent and
penetrating manifestations of the
moral vegetable world. Happy is
said to be the family which can eat
onions together. They are for the
time being separate from the world,
and have harmony Of aspiration.
There is hint here for reformers.
Let them become apostles of the
onion; let them eat and preach it to
their fellows, and circulate tracts OF
it in the form of seeds.
In the onion is the hope of uni
versal brotherhood. If all men will
cat onions at all times, they will
come into universal sympathy. Look
at Italy. l hope l am not mistaken
as to the cause Of her utility. 1t was
the Reds who preached the gospel
which made it possible. All the
the Reds of Europe, all the sworn
devotees of the mystic Mary Ann
eat of the common vegetable. Their
oaths are strong with it. 1t is the
food, also, of the common people of
Italy. All the social atmosphere of
that delicious land is laden with it..
Its odor is a practical democracy.
In the churches all are alike; there
is one faith, one smell. The en-
trance of Victor Emanuel into Rome
is only the pompous proclamation
of unity which garlic had already
accomplished; and yet we, who
boast Of our democracy, cat onions

Washing Milk.Dishes.

was somewhat exercised in mind
by directions l lately read in a far
mer's paper for washing dishes. The
writer bids us wash our milk pans,
etc., first with boiling suds, then
rinse them in boiling water, and
then "wipe them with damp
cloth" She says she cannot tell
the reason, but she finds that If tin
things are wiped with perfectly
dry cloth "there is sickness left
behind which soon becomes a sour
ness" l think | can tell her the rea-
son. 1t is because the cheesy part OF
the milk has been scalded on the tin,
and is only taken off land but parti.
ally then, | am afraid) by the cool,
damp wiping cloth. l think that
most good housekeepers prefer to
wash the milk pans first in water be-
low scalding heat. 1t is very com
mon in good dairics to wash them
first in cold water (Which does not
remove the cream), then in hot suds
(Which does), then in clear hot
water rinse, wiping them or setting
tt EN- in the hot sun. Since reading
the article referred to, l have tried
it many times, and have never found
that the cleanest and driest Of wi
ping cloths left any sickness be-
hind; but l never wash dishes in
scalding water. | see people pile
their dirty dishes into the dishpan
and pour boiling water over them
and 1 feel sure there Will be some
sickness left behind. Warm wa
ter, but below the scalding heat, is
best, unless the dishes are soiled
principally by tat and butter. Ev.

hurt, they, too, will 90 in, and in a
short time every rat about the prem
Uses will frequent it. When this
s.cnrs see that it is we'll supplied
with food, and arrange over the
hole Il block having corresponding
aperture cut in it, but having, also,
a series of wires stuck around the
hole and pointing inward, just as
they are arranged in the common
trap. Every rat will 60 in as be-
fore, and not one can get out.
Various methods may be adopted
for killing them. If you arc a sports
man, You can let them out one at a
time and shoot them, or kill them
with terriers. A few slips of sulph-
ured paper thrust through the hole
and burned is, however, very SIM
pie plan, and will give them a very
effectual quietus. We have known
a case in which sixty-seven rats
were caught at one time in box
arranged as described. In this in
stance the premises were effectually
cleared of the vermin. In this sys-
tenn the great agent is education.
Let the animals be taught, during a
period of several days, that there is
no danger in the boxes, barrels or
traps that we wish them to frequent,
and they viii! rush in pell-mell if
they expect to procure food by the
operation. Who has not seen rats
attack corn, potatoes, bread and
other things, when covered up in a
box and protected with considera-
bic care. They will not only push
covers aside and eat holes through
boards, but they will seem to en-
tirely ignore the presence of wires,
traps and other etceteraS of the rat
catcher's art. SO long as this feel
ing of security is not disturbed, just
SO long will the rats rush to the ia.

Tanning Lamb-Skins with tho Wool
on.

Wash the pelts in warm water,
and remove all fleshy matter from
the inner surface; then clean the
wool with yellow soap, and rinse
the soap thoroughly out. When
this is done, apply to the flesh side
the following mixture for each pelt:
Common salt and alum, one-quartcr
OF a pound Of each, and half an
ounce Of borax dissolved in a quart
of warm water; add to this enough
rye meal to make a thick paste, and

Of the pelt. Fold the skin length

an airy and shady place, then re
move the paste from the surface,
wash and dry. When nearly dry

Breaking in" Boo1s and Shoes.

A writer in the Oneida Circular
concludes discourse on this text
with the following practical re-
Marks" which We heartily endorse:
l. Never "break in" boots or
shoes. If they are not easy when
new, don't take them; for the boots
will break yonr feet oftener than
your feet will break the boots.
2. If you go on "breaking i'm
boot leather, your feet will need a
special last, made with all sorts OF
knobs and protuberances to cores
pond with your distorted joints.
Then you will be sorry.
3. 1t you have large feet, admit
it in all honesty, and have your boots
made accordingly. Then you will be
happy.

profit is made, is in feeding heavy
through these two months, Septem-
Der and October. Hogs thrive the
best in temperature from 400 to
go above zero, which is generally
found during this time.
CONTRAST.
The difference between hogs kept as
above recommended and those kept
in small, muddy yard or rail pen,
and fed corn all summer, is very
great. For example, one Of my
neighbors recently sold IL head,
kept as last described, from eigh-
teen to twenty months old, which
only weighed 1000 or 1913 pounds
per head. When good hogs were
selling for 1925 per hundred, he
could only get $500 per hundred,
or $4,000 for the lot. Another far
mer who treats his hogs as first rec
commended, sold the same number
Of less average age, which ave-
ragged 500 pounds weight or 10000
in the aggregate, for 1925 per hun
dred, receiving the handsome sum
of 1856 for his hogs. The first men,
toned farmer realized not more
than s or 10 cents per bushel for his
corn, while. the latter received SO or
60 cents if not more. And here it
would be interesting to inquire
which Of the above lots of hog
probably consumed the greater
quantity Of corn. OF course these
are extreme eases, but what has
been done may be done again. Now
this is
No FANCY PICTURE,
or gucss-work, but facts, and the
sooner the western farmers can pre-
pare to grow their hogs on grass
during its season, the sooner will
they learn the art Of profitable pork
raising. l might in connection
with this, offer suggestion in re-
gard to
FENCING THE PASTURE.
The cheapest fence that can be
made with us prairie farmers and
one that will turn any of our i'm
proved breeds of hogs, Except per-
haps young pigs, can be made with
three boards, four inches wide and
eighteen feet long. This, if proper
ly built, will answer all purposes.
If we desire to turn in calves or cat
tie we can add two or three wires.
By thus fencing with four,lnch
boards it will only require some
3,762 feet to fence 20 acres 81 rods
square, or for 10 acres 2,64O feet.
Where upwards Of - or Is hogs
are kept the difference realized
from the extra growth, less care
and cost of raising them will soon
repay the cost and labor of fencing.
