How to Got Rid OF Rats.

10 NE Edt0r Of ne Dispucs:
Can YOU tell what viii drive rats from a
brick residence. the walls OF which seem 90
afford run-ways for thu rodents: They are
too cunning 20 be taken in trap OF any
kind. tired poison. but tho fellows did
not leave the premises 10 die but
thought the family would haze 10 vacate
on account of the stencil. Is there a
chemical Of any kind which could be scat.
tered about which would have the desired
effect; lis impossible to find the holes
they come in by, ~ the foundation is on
rock-bottom, which l. full OF seams.
Xxx.
There is no chemical agent more eflicN-
cious for the determination of rats than
the poisons which are commonly en-
ploycd. But poison is very Objectionable,
and while the rat problem is a remarkably
intractable one It can perhaps be best met
10y the use Of traps. All kinds of traps arc
not equally efficient. but there are some OF
these devices which nearly. If not quite,
match the perverted astuteness of even
the most venerable of rats.
