Dealing With Rats.

pests of the age. Recently the agricultural department of the United States issued a report showing that the value of the grain destroyed in the United States by rats in one year will ex- ceed two hundred millions of dol- lars and the losses caused by them is by no means confined to grain alone. THE TRIBUNE is informed by many of it's patrons that rats havo become the great est destroyer of young chickens and turkeys that is encountered. So bold are they becoming that chickens almost frying size are slaughtered by them in open day. light.
 The situation is becoming alarming and it looks as if an organized crusade against rats is imperative.
 The rat is probably tho most prolific animal on the face of the earth. Authorities on the subject state they begin to raise young ones at four months old and will produce a litter averaging from eight to twelve three or four times a year. It doesn't take but a minute calculating to see that the increase is something en- ormous.
 In view of the great necessity for means to be used in the ex- termination of these pests, THE TRIBUNE will reproduce remedy recently pres cribed by the St. Louis Globe-Democrat which seems plausible and we believe it would pay farmers and others troubled by rats to try it. In fact we think the receipt one of those useful articles it would pay to paste in your hat.
 Here is what the Globe Demo- crat says:
 Tneoreti cally, rats can be poisoned so that they will not die in their burrows under or inside buildings, but any mistake on this point leads to extremely dis agreeable results. According to the government information re- gently distributed on this subject, the mineral known as barium carbonate or barytes, is to be pre- ferred, as it is harmless to large animals, and the rats, if they can find an exit, usually leave the premises in search of water. The barytes may be mixed in dough four fifths meal, or spread upon bread and butter or moistened toast. It's action is not rapid, and if the first application falls
  short the plan should be repeated with a charge of bait.
 Strychine and arsenic are more apt to cause the death of rats in the house and the use of phosp- horus is condemned, one reason being that it may cause fires. In war upon rats it is important to remember that wholesale poison ing may result in wholesale effluvia that would last several weeks in houses. Traps are more to the practical purpose, and ferrets might be used by CO., operation with the swarm of rodents whose extremination, or rather material reduction, is att tempted. Those who resort to poisons ought to be familiar with their action and general results, or public nuisance may be created that will be regretted. Good generalship is needed even in battle with rats.

STATE AS LIoUoR SELLER.
An Experiment in Gwalia, West Aus
tralia, Results Successfully.

The West Australian state govern.
ment's experiment in liquor business
control at the mining center of Gwalia
has managed to live through criticism,
and now appears to be firmly estab-
lished institution.
Within the last few days the new
chairman of committees OF the senate,
Senator Pearce, has come forward
with first hand testimony. He had
stayed week end at the state hotel
at Gwalia, and has now told a public
meeting in this city how he found pre-.
waiting conditions, says Melbourne
letter to the London Chronicle.
Senator Pearce found chat the man
ager of the hotel was paid a good sal
airy and had no interest in adulterat-
ing drink or trading during prohibited
hours. The hotel was strictly for
public convenience, and there was no
more incentive to make men drink
beer than there was for a station mas
ter at a railway station to sell tickets.
The result was that there was no sign
of drunkenness about the town.
When a man was disposed to drink
more than he could afford or was good
for him there was machinery for eXer-
cising control over him. All that had
to be done was for the mans wife or
relative to speak to the manager of
the hotel, and then the barman re-
ceived Instructions that he was to be
served with only two long beers q
day-one when going on 70 his mining
shift and one coming o@. The min
ers called this being placed nader the
Dog act" No one, however, outside
the complainant, the manager, or the
barman need be informed as to who
was on the liSt-eXcept, said Senator
Pearce with sly Smile, when the pro
scribed man h.msel, ,ectured his tel
lows on THEN disgusting intemper
ance in calling for more than two
drinks a day. On Sunday not drink
was sold or asked for.
The Gwala State hotel, after pay
ing all expenses and supplying 6
splendid table and excellent bedroom
accommodation, now cleared a prof.
of $4,000 per arnum out of pure
liquors. The manager regarded him
self as a guardian of the people, who
would not give them poison to drinl
nor allow them to abuse the privilege
OF obtaining pure liquor.

COLLEGE MEN Fob THE FARM.
Result Of Change in Economic and
Social Conditions.

The character of farming Is chang
ing rapidly 1t IS coming more and
more TO be an oEicient, profitable and
attractive business with here and
there an exception, in the past we
have not giten much consecutive
thought 70 the Understanding like
as much as The merchant gives to his
business or tho doctor to his. 1t has
been so easy 4 business that un.
trained mon coGld succeed in it. The
Change IN economic and social condi.
tioas is breaking up the tradition.
Farnlls is becoming more difacult,
aa1 ,Eo oM methods must go. In the
future only the wel,-lAformed and eff.
cicltiA,nk,lT man can succeed; that
Is, only the educated man.
The country is to offer other advan.
taGes to the educated man than mere.
ly to be good farmer. There are
good opportunities for leadership on
public ucstions-probably better op-
portunity ana with less competition
than In the great cities. The fact that
city representation is increasing in the
legislatures should make the able
country representative more of a
marked man. The growth of the insti-
tute movement, of the grange and 9th.
er rural organizations, gives fresh OPP
portunity TO develop leadership of a
high order
1t would seem that, by the nature
of the progress we are making, the
nnllpun m n hA 20 ",
fact. college men have BEEN going
back from the beginning of the agri.
cultural education movement. Stats.
tics show that a large percentage
actually have returned to farming,
and this in spite of the fact that
cities have been growing with marvel.
Gus rapidity, and that the whole sys.
tenn of agricultural colleges and ex.
pertinent stations has been developing
and calling for men. Considering the
limitations under which the agricul.
tnral colleges have developed, without
sympathy, with tho Indifference and
sometimes the opposition of educators

better-with wholly inadequate funds,
1t Is little less than marvellous what
they have accomplished within a gen.

portion Of students of the leading ag.
riculturai colleges. who now engage in
| agricultural pursuits, is greater than
students of that Of colleges of law or
of ether professional colleges who fol
low their CHOSEN profession. No one
now questions the value of education
to lawyer or physician; why question
its value to a farmer? The educated

Earthquake Philosophy.

Poverty has its compensations in
some matters. Thus the Mexican
poems who live in one-story adobe
huts suffer little from earthquakes as
compared with their richer neighbors
who live in more pretehtious houses
of stone. The earthquake shock re-
duces the sun.dried adobe to harmless
powder, but II piles stone houses
upon the heads of those who live in
them. Poor and content" says the
poet, lis rich and rich enough.
1t is probable, however, that
the peon would be willing to ex'
change houses with the caballero even
at the risk of earthquakes. 1t is the
disposition of mankind to set small
value on those things we have and
to place high estimate on these that
we have not,
