TO ExTERMINATE RATS.
First Feed Them, Then Let Them Fig

First Feed Them, Then Let Them Fight
and Drown Themselves.
The best course to take when the ex.
termination of q colony of rats be-
comes q necessity, is TO make them
help to destroy one another in Shc fol-
lowing manner: A number of tubs,
proportionate to the quantity of rats
in the place which il is desired to rid
of them, should be placed about, and
in the middle of each put brick
standing on end. The bottom of these
tubs should be covered with water to
such a depth that about an inch of the
brick projects above ii. The top of the
tubs should be covered with stout
brown paper, upon which dainty
meal of bacon rind and other scraps
dear to the rat palate. figures-a slop-
ing board giving the rodents facilities
for partal1ing of it The feast should
be renewed for several nights SO that
all the rats in the neighborhood may
get to know of the good food which is
placed within such easy reach. When
it is judged that this policy has been
pursued long enough. the center of the
brown paper should be cut in such a
manner that any rat venturing upon it
will be precipitated into the cold water
below
1t might be thought that the result of
this would be to capture a rat, or at
the most two, for every tub prepared;
but no such meager reward for the
trouble that had been taken need be
feared. The first rat to find his trust
abused and himself struggling in the
water at the bottom of a tub soon re-
covers sufficiently from the shock to
ascertain that there is little island Of
refuge, on to which he chambers and
squeals his loudest for help. Now the
squeal of a rat in trouble attracts every
one of his kind within hearing. and
very few moments will elapse before
the victim of misplaced confidence is
joined by one of his friends The new.
conner is as quick to discover the
chance of escape from a watery grave
that the brick offers as was the orig
inal victim, but when he attempts to
avail himself of its presence it becomes
apparent that there is not room for
more than one upon it. The first
conner resists with tooth and nail the

dispossess him of his coign of vantage.
and the squeals which form an accom-
paniment to the fight for a footing
upon the brick attract more rats to
the scene of the tragedy. The conflict
wakes more and more furious as rat
after rat topples into the water, and by
morning bedraggled corpses in plenty
will gladden. the eyes of the man whose
losses at the teeth of rats have induced
him to adopt this means of thinning
their numbers. Some years ago the
plan dc bed above was tried in a city
warehouse. with the result that more
than three thousand rats were de-
stroyed In single night Orange Jndd

RULER OF THE DANES.

trious Connections.
I'm His Youth lie Was n Drawing Master
and Now lie Is What Would by
Some BE Called a Very
Small Potato"

Christian IN, king of Denmark,
while ruler OF the smallest kingdom in
the world, has more royal connections
probably than any crowned or un-
crowned head in existence. Over fifty
years ago he was a suitor for the hand
of Queen Victoria, and though rejected
for a worthier prince has lived to be-
come the father-in-law of ii. r. ii. the
prince of Wales. After marrying his
daughter Alexandra to that parsonage,
King Christian disposed of another child,
Maria, to the eldest son of Alexander
IL of Russia Now she is an empress.
Christians son George is now monarch
of Greece, and increased the number of
his family's royal relations by marry
ing the grand duchess of Russia year
after he assembled the throne.
Compared with his present splendid
circumstances, Christians early days
look mean indeed He was born in 1918,
the son OF prince of Glucksburg, who,
notwithstanding noble connections.
like many a count of to-day was poor
and proud His ancestors were gentle
men of fortune, who looked to the
crown and their wits for their liveli-
hood Christian, however, though en-
titled to the title of duke, condescended
to eke out his scanty income by giving
drawing lessons. Twenty years later
he was called to the throne of Dem
mark.
Christian lost no flesh after Queen
Victoria declined his proposal, and it Is
no disparagement to her to say that he
secured as good woman as she for a

KING CHRISTIAN OF DENMARK.

wife. That was Princess Louise of
Hesse 1t was through his wife's con-
nections that Christian reached the
throne, and it is due largely to her wis
dom and tact that his reign has been
prosperous, for it cannot be denied that
Christian possesses few kingly attri-
butes. His most obsequious courtiers
can scarcely call him bright, and his
consciousness of his duliness has made
him suspicious and stubborn He re-
gards his ministers, who by their wise
administration have gained the popu-
larity which he has failed to acquire,
with dislike.
Christians accession to the throne
came about in somewhat peculiar
way. In recognition of military serv-
ices somewhat vague, in truth,
Princess Louise's father was made COM
mander in chief of the Danish army,
and subsequently, allied himself with
the royal house by marrying the sister
of King Christian VIII. AS the royal
line of Oldenburg threatened to become
extinct, the London protocol of 1859
settled the succession on Princess
Louise, Duke Christians wife. In 1864
she was called to the throne, and the
reign of Christian X began. His title
to the crown was made more perfect
by the Danish people electing him on
the condition that he guarantee them
the integrity of their political constitu-
ton. Further than that, the grand
powers guaranteed the legality OF the
monarchy But both pledges were
broken into fragments.
Before Christian had ruled year the
armies of Prussia and Austria invaded
the dimnutive territory and carved away
two fifths of Denmark The duchies Of
Holstein and Schleswig were the prin-
cipalities wrested away after cam
paign which was most disastrous FOR
the Danish army The territory was
never regained The other guaranty,
made to the people by the king, was
nullified ten years afterward when
| Christian attempted to fly in the face OF
the constitution by governing the king
dom by provfsory laws. He has never
succeeded in persuading the represent
atives of the people to legalize such
| action

COLUMBIA's FLOWER.

Upon o day in merry May.
Among the buds Of ppring,
Our bonnie lass Columbia,
Went lightly wandering.
And first she pluckea wind flower
And cravely shook ner head:
HToo pale you are, too fraIl you are,
For what want" she said.
And next she found shady nook
Where purple violets grew.
"Inever spied flower" she cried,
"That could compare with you.
How neat you arel How sweet you are,
You modest little dcarl
But, oh, so difidentl guess
I'd better leave you here"
And so she roamed from flower TO flower,
But carried none away;
One was too grave TO suit her taste
Another was too gay.
The daisy and the buctercup
Smiled in her face in vain:
1Too trim you are, too prim you are"
She laughed in her disdain-
Nor would she heed one lovely weed
That through the summer grows;
She tossed aside the purple flag,
She fiouted the wild rose;
And was so hard to suit, indeed,
It seemed she'd never find
This little lass, Columbia
A blossom to her mind
But one day through the autumn fields
With nimble feet she trod,
And dale and height were all bedight
With splendid golden rod
Then merrily she elapped her hands:
"This is the thing for me;
Type OF the gold my broad lands hold,
To which the world is free.
"Oh mine you are, for fine you are,
And beautiful and strong;
You are the flower that shall be set
To sermon and to song~
And through the land Columbia,
The fairest child OF God,
Went, smiling, with her golden hair
All crowned with golden rod.

the settlement and it would be neces-
sary to exercise the ut most caution in
trying 70 reach it that day.
The country seemed alive with dusky
warriors and any moment they might
become the prey of savage foe lurk-
ing near.
As they made slow, cautious march
across rugged bluffs and among the
trees on the bank of the river, Bruce's
sharp eyes more than once caught
glimpse of Indians skulling along out
on the prairie and beyond them in the
woods.
By hiding often among the bushes
aud rocks, or making long, irregular
detours, Bruce and Alice were able to
avoid meeting them.
1t was not until after sunset that the
young pair, hungry and exhausted,
reached the large cabin of old Jerry
Grimes, which had been hastily turned
into a blockhouse.
Imagine Alice's joy to find among
those who had gathered at old Jerry's
cabin for common proeeetion her own
parents.
They had been chased to the settle
ment by a small party of Indians, and
during the greater part of the day Mr..
Rogers had helped defend the cabin
against n stubborn attack. Toward
night, however, the red besiegers had
withdrawn to the woods for consulta-
ton, and the anxious settler had just
succeeded in organizing party of
brave fellows to accompany him to his
own cabin, when, to his great surprise
and Joy, his daughter, leaning on Bruce
Howell's arm. stood before him.
Several other settlers joined those
at old Jerry's cabin, and though
the Indians made more than one
attempt to destroy the blockhouse,
they were driven back with heavy
losses. Most of the Indians had
gone farther north, and not being
able to muster sufficient forces to take
the cabin, they finally abandoned the
attack.
When Black Hawk was at last sub
dued and settlers went back to their
peaceful pursuits, Br uce and Alice had
a quiet marriage.

THE COW IN WINTER.

The quantity 81 milk and butter that
can be secured during the winter de-
pends largely upon the management
and care given the COWS Both milk
and butter sell at better prices during
the winter, and iof this reason II proper
iy managed better profit can be real
lied In many localities more profit
could be realized by having some of
the calves come in the fall rather than
all in the spring as is SO generally
done.
One of the principal items In having
good supply of milk economically Is
70 provide comfortable shelter With
all animals certain quantity of food
is required to maintain animal life and
heat, and where no shelter Is provided
more will be needed to supply heat
than with good shelter. The excess
over and above what is necessary to
maintain life and heat goes into milk.
A good milch cow is rarely fat ono.
at least while she is giving milk, and
both the quality and quantity are at-
fected by the kind and quantity Of feed
as well as the conditions under which
it is supplied The difference In feed
ing cow through the winter, whether
she is dry or is giving a good fiow of
milk is small If she is fed SO as to keep
in good thrifty condition, while If she
can be managed so as to secure a lib
eral flow of milk there viii be very
considerable difference in tho profit
Clover or millet hay is better than
timothy hay or corn fodder Wheat
bran is good to increase the quantity,
but the cows need cornmeal or oil meal
to make it good feed for both quality
and quantity.
Unthrashed oats with wheat bran
make good ration for milk. A good
plan of feeding is to run it through
feed cutter and then add the bran,
dampeling the whole and mixing that
thoroughly together. Bran and oil
meal can nearly always be used to
good advantage in feeding the milch
cows, whether in winter or in summer;
but in nearly all cases in order to Sc
cure the best results it will be neces-
sary to feed it in connection with
something else. 1t pays to feed cows
literally; give what they will eat mp
clean This applies to- rough feed as
well as grain. ~ss'
Cows need little if any exercise dur
ing the winter When the weather is
mild and pleasant it may be well
enough to turn them out for few
hours during the day, but when the
weather is cold or stormy 1t will be
better to keep them confined under
shelter. They must be watered regu-
larly at least twice a day, but in bad
weather this should be done with as
little exposure as possible.
Where it is an object to secure the
largest quantity Of r-lk many find 1t
protitab ble to warm tiso water, as taking
into the system considerable quantity
of cold water chills and causes a de-
crease in the quantity of milk Plenty

Putting Salt in Cream.

A well-known western dairyman, Q.
S. Arnold, is on record as saying that
he salts his cream as fast as taken from
the milk. at the rate of two ounces OF
salt to the gallon of cream, and Is get
ting gratifying results The cream
ripens better, and with no disposition
to excessive fermentation. The churn
gets more butter from the cream and
qGicker than when no salt Is used.
All this may be SO, and as Mr. Arnold
says, but the amount of salt seems ex-
cessive. So far as the churn!ng and
getting all the butter, we think that
adding some fair. strengthened brine. q
quart to the gallon of cream when the
churn is started, would be better than
Just salt alone. 1t is only another
sign that dairymen are after that last
ounce of butter, and are bound to have

Such a hoe is especially handy and
serviceable in working and digging
among roots, stumps, stones, ETC., and
in hard and stony soil generally. You
can use it pretty much like pick Its
advantages are these: First. the tines
enter with ease, even ground that is
quite hard; second. the handle affords
a strong lever for turning up the clou
or sod; lastly, the head is easily sp-
piled to knocking the soil to pieces

five miles distant.
Bruce Howell had helped Mr.. Rogers
erect his cabin, and as he assisted in
laying the great logs the sight of
Alice's wondrous dark eyes had worked
q marvellous spell in the heart of the
young Illinoisan.
The charm had been so potent that
the young man had been wooed back
than once that spring. But his love,
though half guessed by the parents of
the girl, was still undeclared.
1t was bright spring day that Alice
Rogers left the cabin to wander

having gone that morning to purchase
few necessary supplies at the coun
try store about twenty miles distant.

if after gathering the seed we do not

that the habits of some are so imper-
