the ring-leaders in this way, while younger
onc's are easily caught. If you cannot
thus circunveut that shy and cunning old
specimen, ] will give you my plan with
strychnine, which is as swift with rats as
with dogs. SO much for the " isconan
rats. We cannot but think that the Gold
SOlOmOns' out there are not half so wise
or cunning as some we nave encountered
ot the East Some years ago the rats made
bad havoc in our cellar, ana we resolved to
try the efficacy OF the steel trap. 10 was
set i'm large fiat vessel and well covered
and hidden with bran. We were more
cautious than the writer above, for we
used large spoon 10 move the bran. fear
