destruction of rats, says that there are
two objections to the common mode of
killing rats by laying poison for them.
first, the danger to which it exposes 9TH

ond, the possibility that the rats, having
partaken of it, may retire to their holes
and, dying there, cause an intolerahle

from these objections, and has effectually
cleared houses that were infested with

surround the balls with number of ves-

oil will be sure to attract the rats. and
they will grcedly devour the balls, and
becoming intolerably thirsty will drink
till they die on the spot.
