Breeding Rats in London,

In London, where rafting is much
more in vogue than it is here, some of
the fancy" tried to breed rats. They
succeeded to certain extent, and pro-
duced great number. But they were
no good. Being, in fact, domestic ami
mails. they were not much afraid of the
terriers, and the dogs, as a con-
sequence, killed them in tardy, half
hearted way that would insure their
defeat against time or rivals in a pit.
A big rat is not always the best. He
is apt to be slow and to die without a
struggle. The large, fat sewer rat is
generally overfed, and can neither run
nor fight A medium-sized animal,
thin and hungry, is probably the best.
When he is cornered he will often
spring at the terrier, grip him under
the lower jaw, out of reach of his teeth,
and hold on for dear life. If the dog
knows his business he will waste no
time in trying to scrape him off with
his paws He will go straight on with
his work, killing the other rats in the
pit, until the one that is clingirg to
his chin gets tired and drops off, when
be will not be likely to have another
chance, IN. Y. Sun. .-~
