When a cellar IL infested with rats
II Is always found that they obtain
their entrance under tho cellar walls.
or ct least they must have holes or
passage ways there to retrent to. and
places there to burrow II not thoy
very soon will abandon tho promises.
Il IL said that in making an entrance
they first dig down just outside Of the
walls and under tho bottom Of II, into
the cellar. and whatever holes they
dig in the cellar are always to make
passages under these walls instead Of
into the tn Of any other part Of tho
cellar bottom. Knowing this habit Of
theirs, then, one can 20 build that they
will not DO able to get through under
these wallis and then they will be
most offectually excluded from 'pho
cellar"
This Is easily done by following
what is also most excellent practice
In forming the foundations Of these
wallis. After the cellar is dug and the
lines marked where the wall Is to
stand, thon dig trench twontv inches
or two feet docp and o little broader
than the wall Is. 10 be. directly
under where it Is to stand.
Fill this with small broken stones.
say small as for a macadamizod road.
or what is better, break up those
loose. fintstones in the trench, enough
to fill It. Either OF those will make
good abutment to construct the walls
on. will act rs drain for the cellar.
II it is needed, and above all will
prove impene trable to tho entrance Of
rats. They might dig down from the
outside. as their custom is. but find
ing at the bottom Of the walls this
loose. broken stone. which thoy are
unable to make passage through.
they will be obliged to stay outside.
and the cellar will bo practically "rat
proof"
But II the walls 10 the buildings
one has were not made as above.
and the cellars are already infested
with rats, they may ba made nearly
rat proof in the following way:
Dig trench fifteen inches wide and
eight or ten inches deep just inside. at
the bottom of tho walls. Fill this two
thirds full of the pounded stones, and
then with water-limo ccment enough
to be even with the cellar bottom and
plastered little way up from the bot.
tom Of the walls. This will prove SO
much Of a barrier to the rats in trying
to get passage under the walls again
that they will doubtless abandon the
premises H. lues. IN NJ y World
