To Drive Away Rats.

A lady writer, in a New York jour
nal, discourses in the following style
concerning her treatment of rats and
mice
We cleaned our premises of these detes-
table vermin by making a whitewash
yellow with copperas aud covering the
stones and rafters of the cellar with a
thick coating Of it. In every crevice
where n rat might tread was put crystals
of the copperas and scattered the same in
the corners of the floor. The result was a
perfect stampede of rats and mice. Since
that time not football of either rat or
mouse has been heard about the house
Every spring a coat of the yellow wash
Is given to the cellar, as purifier as well
ns n rat exterminator, and no typhoid,
dysentery or fever attacks the family
Many persons deliberately attract oil the
rats in the neighborhood by leaving fruits
and vegetables uncovered in the cellar :
and sometimes even the soap and scraps
are left open for their regalement. Cover
mn everything eatable in the cellar and
pantry, and you will soon starve them out
These precautions Joined to the service of
a good cat will prove as good rat exter-
minator as the chemist can provide We
never would allow rats to be poisoned in
our dwelling; they are so liable to die
between the wallis, aud produce much
annoyance.
