floor and through your corn as you
gather it there will not be rat or
mouse to bother | have some old
can be found. In stacking hay and
oats, sprinkle little on the ground
and through each load, and take my
word for it, rats or mice can't stay
there. A pound OF sulphur will be
sufficient to preserve a large crib of

will not hurt the corn for bread.p

instead of helping him in his work
or hustling for job of his own, will
never amount to much, no matter
how many commandments they go
through.
