How to Deal with Rats.

We clear our premises of these de.

making whitewash yellow with cop
peras and covering the stones and
rafters in the cellar with it. In ev
cry crevice where a rat may tread
we put the crystals of the copperas,
and scatter the same in the corners
of the floor. The result was a per-
feet stampede of rats and mice. Since
that time not a football of either rats
or mice has been heard about the

tacks the family. Many persons de-
liberately attract all the rats In the
neighborhood by leaving fruits and
vegetables uncovered in the cellar,
and sometimes even the soap is left
open for their fegalement. Cover
up everything eatable in the cellar
and pantry, and you will soon have
them out. These precautions Joined
to the service of a good cat. will
prove as good rat exterminator as
the chemist can proYide. We never
allow rats to- be poisoned in our
dwelling ! they are SO liable to die
between the walls and produce much
