Getting Rid of Rats.

Mix two pounds of carbonate of

and lay it in their ruuways. 1t is

produces great thirst, aud death
Immediately after drinking.
Another way is to mix arsenic
aud lard together aud spread in on
bread, and push a piece into every
rat-hole.
Small pieces of spouges may be
fried in dripping of honey, aud
strewed about for them to eat.
The sponge will distend their in
