inches Of top with water, put a
double handful of cotton seed on
top OF the water, and pile the corn
around 50 that the rats can easily
reach the top, you will catch every
rat that passes by; the rats will
jump on the cotton seed" "The
next day | tried the experiment, and
three days after had my jar examin
ed, and the servant pulled out thirty
one drowned rats. In sixteen days
| had caught ninety-two rats" Newell
SAYS the rats never hurt his corn. ]
