Your future is before you.
You wish to make the best use

that is impossible. Under

The latest animal on the farm usu.
ally is the rat, and it returns no profit.
But some farmers do not seem serious
~ to object to keeping and feeding the
destructive pest. The cost of feeding
the farm rats of this country is enor-
nous. Say that it will average so
cents year for each farm, and that
is absurdly conservative. But taking
that as an average, and the annual
cost is over S2,O0O,OO0. If the farmers
of the country should contribute 49,
100000 TO be burned up, they would be
charged with idiocy. But the destruc-
ton of grain and other things by rats
is usually opposed only by few cats,
and the work of destruction is allowed
to go on, for eats can not clear prem
ises of rats. though they will, of
course, hold them somewhat in check
If no systematic effort is made to rid
the farm buildings entirely of these
rodents, everything that is practically
possible should be done to protect
grain from their rayages.
Bins and cribs should be protected,
bins with tin lining and cribs by nail
ing strip of tin around the bottom
edge, having it extended three of four
inches out from the crib. A crib that
it thus timed and built far enough
from the ground to prevent the rat
from gnawing through the bottom is
rat proof.
BY all odds, however, the best treat
ment of the rat plague is the ferret.
Rats will not remain where ferrets are,
at least live rats will not. A single
ferret. will clean a barn of rats in
short order. This natural enemy will
go wherever the rat will or can go,
and there is only one result if the two
mcet-a dead rat. Ferrets used to cost
about S. a pair, ana we presume that
is still the price, and if there are many
rats on the farm, pair will do hun
bred dollars worth of good. 1t is the
only way to get rid of irats.-Henry
Somers, in Epitomist.

the road became solid, without a rock
