What Rats are &c Cd For.

OF what use is the rat to man?
Well not very much that we know
Of; yet q few items may be mention
cd. Probably we must not attach
much Importance to the alleged pro-
phctlc powers Of the rat--that if he
gnaws PERSONS cloths, that person
will speedily die; that if he suddenly
quits a house, the house will very
shortly burn down; that If he do
sorts ship, tho ship is in sinking
state. A mill at PEBBLES was sud
denly deserted by whole colony of
rats about twenty years ago; two
hours atterward the mill was burned
down. But it must be confessed
that the logic is very weak which
proves. from these facts, the posses
sion of any prophetiQ D9Wer by Mr.,
Rat, We have evidence that he has
sometimes been made useful as an
II. K. or II. a. James, in his mill
tary dictionary says: Rats are some
times used in military operations,
particularly in enterprises for tho
purpose of setting fire to gunpowdor.
On those occasions lighted match
is tied to the tail of the animal.
Marshal Vauban recommends there
fore, That the walls of powder maya
zines should be made very thick, and
the passages for light and air so mar
row as not to admit rats; We da
not know whether q cruel sport can
be called useful employment of
rats; but an account is given of a
strange proceeding at Rome, A large
number at Fats were dipped in spir-
its OF turpentinc, set on fire and made
to rush down an open flight Of steps
near tina Vatican; they reached the
bottom rs masses of charred flesh,
amid the shouts of the populace.
Rats are worth three shilllngs dog
on. to furnish o supply ia those brut-
al exhibitions in which rat-killing
terriers show their power. Rats arc
also caught for the value of their
skins. There is u firm at Paris
which buys the skin for this purpose.
The fur Is dressed into q worry good

or membrane is dressed into leather

ed for the thumbs of the best gloves.
If one believes that rats are not used
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1876-12-15

for human food, he must change his
opinion. In Paris, the chiffoniers or
bone-grubbcrs eat them. Gypsies
eat such rats as are caught in stacks
and barns, and are less strong in flaw
or and odor than those that feed ON
vigorously. In China, split rats are
bought as. a dainty. An English
surgeon of some note has them cook
ed for his own eating. In a man-of-
war, where the rats made havoc
with the biscuit, the sailors had
regular battle, and brought down
numbers OF them; Jack made rat
pic, baked it and liked it. At the
siege at Malta, the French garrison,
when famlshed, offered as much as a
dollar a head for rats; or two dollars
if barn-fed. During the siege of
Paris, in the late Franco German
war, rats were frequently used as
food.

About the House.

Scotch Cakcs.-Into two quarts of
flour rub a tablespoonful of butter,
stir in cup and half of milk, a
cup Of yeast, two eggs, and half a
teaspoonful of salt. Let this rise
over night. In the morning roll out
and make into small, thin biscuit, let
them rise and bake quickly. Dip
each biscuit in melted butter before
putting it in the pan, and they will
readily part from each other when
baked.
Substitute for Il Corkscrew.--A
substitute for corkscrcw may be
thus made: Stick two forks vertical
ly into cork on opposite sides, not
too near the edge. Run the blade of
Il knife through the two and give a
twist. Another way to uncork a bot
tie is to fill the hollow at the bottom
of the bottle with n ndkerchicf or
towel; grasp the neck with one
hand, and strike firmly and steadily
with the other upon the hand cr-
chief.
CURE FOR DIpTnERIA.-We find
the following recipe for the cure of
diptherla in the Toledo Chronicle.
J. Baker, of Bella Plaine, vouches
for it:
zone teaspoonful Of Tinct Gu.ia-
cum in a h:lf glass Of new milk;
take teaspoonfuf every Is or 90 min
utcs. This compound caused my
son to expel the false membrane, and
has been the means of saving many
other children.
DAT MEAL JELLy.-A very deli
cate breakfast dish can be made OF
oatmeal jelly. Soak half II pint of
good oatmeal over night in one and
half pnts of water. In the morn
ing drain off the water through a
sieve, adding to it one and hall
pints of hot water, and put it to boil
over quick fire. Stir till itboils, then
set it back and let it simmer ten
minutes. Turn 1t into molds, and in
fifteen minutes il will be set sui:
ticicntly to turn out into saucers, and
will be warm enough to eat. Serve
at once, without trimming or with q
little sweetcned fruit juice. The
soaked meal that is left can be util-
lied in batter, biscuit or corn-meaI
mush, or made into porridgc by it.
self In the latter shape it is bland
and peculiarly suitable for invalids
who have not yet learned to like oat
meal. These preparations are in nc
way better than whole oatmeal, ex
cepting for variety.

Anti Early Rising.

Farmers generally do not rise as
early as they did twenty years ago,
and think they ought not to. Some,
however, retain the old habit, and
are up at three or four o'clock, have
breakfast by lamplight, and then
work commences. Now, l know
well enough that if there are hired
men, and if work pushes, it is neces-
sary to stir early, but, on the whole,
| think what il known az the habit
of ear rising il so much an error
as to do more harm than good. I
should say that tor an ordinary
household, where nobody but the
family is in the house, breakfast at
eight o'clock is soon enough for
winter, and from six to seven O'clock
for spring and summer. would be
good plan, though, if there Is one
in thQ house who likes to rise early,
to build the fires that the rooms may
be warmed, though by having good
stoves fires can be Kept all night. l
object to breakfast by lamplight, be-
cause the children are made to get
up when they would be much better
off in bed and asleep. 1t Is cruel to
tear boys out of bed in the dark and
cold, since they always go to bed
tired, and growing as they are, they
need all the rest and recuperation
they can get; and when they do
sr;sa, they ought not to be hurried
out to the barn, probably in cold,
damp boots, to fodder and take care
of stock. 1t is much better for the
man himself 10 60 out and see that
work is properly done, though the
boys might 50 along, if they are
warmed. and help and get fresh air
before breakfast.
/ doubt whether anything is gain
ed by feeding cattle before sunrise,
and am sure milking ought not to
DO done until tho morning becomes
a little cheerful. Tho amount of
work which boys can do in a cold
morning is not much, and it will
seldom be done well. They are in
hurry to get back to the fire, and
they ought not to be blamed, but 1t
would be good plan to have them
help about breakfast, It their help is
needed. The point I want to mako
is, boys are neither tough norstrong,
nor have they got the use Of their

Conn AND Hoes, prom carefully
conducted experiments by different
persons, 1t has been asccrtained that
one bushel Of corn will make little
more than ten pounds of pork, gross.
Taking the result us basis, the fol-
lowing deductions are made, which
all our farmers would do well to lay
by for 4 convenient reference, that:
When corn sells at l24 cents per
bushel, pork costs u cents per
pound.
Whom CORN costs II cents per
bushol, pork costs two cents per
pound.
When corn costs 25 cents per
bushel, pork costs 3 cents por pound.
Whom corn costs SO cents per
bushel,pork costs 4 cents per pound.
When corn costs so cents per
bushel, pork costs 5 cents per pound.
The following statements show
what the farmer realizes on his corn
when sold in the torn of pork.
When pork sells at a cents per
pound, it brings 25 cents per hushel
in corn.
When pork sells at 4 cents per
pound, it brings 40 cents per bushel
in corn.
Whom pork sells at 5 cents per
pound, it brings As cents per bushel
in corn.

Foul FEEDING OF SwINE.-It
there is any one thing IN rural prac.
tice which needs reforming more
than another, it is the manner of
raising and feeding swine. From
the day they are large enough to eat
they are offered all manner of refuse
about the place, such as rank weeds,
filthy Stops, spoiled vegetables and
meats, dead fowls, etc. They are al
lowed to rummage the dung yard,
and CLEAN the refuse of food in the
f;pces Of the horses and cattle, on
the ground of economy. But we
imagine that the quantity Of food
saved in this way is very insignifi-
cant-not to exceed the value of
bushcl of shcllcd corn a year among
the whole stock on an ordinary sized
farm. The objections to the practice
CT keeping swine in this way are so
serious, however, that the reasons in
favor of it have no force at all. The
origin of Trichinosis in swine may
always be traced to the consumption
of vile stutfs in thcirfood or to being
housed or yarded amid filth and foul
air. Every few months the press
announces case of Trichinosis in
an individual or a whole family,
with all the horrible details and suf-
terings which attend the parasitic at
tack. Only lately some new cases
are reported here in the west which
are alarming. We are quite sure
that every farmer and every one who
leeds and fattens n pig, will only
need to have their attention called
to SO important and serious matter,
to secure Il complete reform in the
practice of feeding an animal which
will take whatever is off'orol to it,
and will live in the most filthy holes
and yards. Interests as dear as
health and life require y thorough
reform IN keeping and feeding
swine. Let their food be as pure as
that which other ANIMALS consume;
let them be kept in clean quarters
and have pure air; let diseased or
unthrifty animals be separated from
those In health, and we may have no
fears of Trichinosis among either
swine or human beings.
