DETROIT, May 29.-"Henry, Henry

a man in my room and have got him. ="
was the startling cry that awoke all the
members of the household ut a home on
Lincoln avenue a few nights ago.
Henry, being awakened out of a sound
sleep jumped out Of bed and. grabbing
a handful of matches, broke three in his
excitement before succeeding in getting
light; then leaving his wife in an
agony OF fear in the belief that some
terrible tragedy was being enacted in
her brothers room on the floor above.
he boldly mounted the stairs and enter
ing his brother-in-law's room. was as
tonished TO End him sitting up in bed.

Rats Dangerous Foes.

All rats are dangerous foes. but the
brown rat is the worst mammalian pest
in existence and in the United States
destroys more property than all other
noXious animals combined. No stats
tics Of the actual damage annually done
by these rodents have been gathered IN
America. In Denmark the loss is put
II S.ooe.OOo a year. and in France the
damage by both rats and mice has been
estimated at Slo,OO0,OoO annually. A
single rat will consume about two
ounces Of wheat OF corn a day. and il
destroys far more Of the latter than II
eats. as indeed it does Of most other
food
The average cost to the country OF
feeding rat on grain is about 80 cents
year. If for each COW. horse. sheen.
and hog on the farms of the United
States the farmers support one rat on
grain, the toll levied on the cereals nv
these rodents would reach the enormous
total of S1OO.OOO.0OO a year. Even grant
ing that half their food Is waste ma

Fighting Rats for Centuries.

The world has been fighting rats for
several centuries. but the warfare has
been neither systematic nor persistent.
The number OF 'fnfallible'' devices and
formulas for killing the rodents that
have been put forth would fill volumes.
and still the pestlferous rat survives
and grows more and more cunning as
the devices for its destruction gain in
ingenuity.
The Biological Survey does not pre-
tend to have worked out an infallihle
device for killing rats by the wholesale
but the methods for their destruction
given in the bulletin are those which
careful experiments have shown 10 be
the best and the formulas for poison
ing and trapping are the most approved
ones. Particular emphasis is placed
on the rat-prOOf construction OF build
ings and on organized cooperative ef-
forts TO destroy the animals

The editor of the democratic organ is
all at sea this week when he mentions
the office boy of this paper as Com
modore. - The Office boy bought a
Thank sgiving bird for a dollar and a
half. but the poor turkey died before
its time. Itwas in the possession of an
Irsh-Frenchman by the name of Pad
dy, who laughed fiendish horse langh
when he failed to deliver the goods.
The merry tinkle of the cash register
as the plunk and half rolled over the
mahogony for wet goods, tickled the
office boy. He believes in a hereafter,
and that there is place hundred
times hotter than California, where
such testers will some time sizzle for
all time to come, along with democra-
tic editors.
1t happened that the Office boy was
the sixth victim of the nefarious and
dastardly outrage, and that the five
previous suckers were prominent citi-
zens. He will never again get soaked
on the same game.

DIR. HARTMAN, THE FARMER.

DR.. s. B. Hartman, the inventor and
original manufacturer of Peruna, is one
of the best farmers in the Middle West.
His farm comprises several thousand
acres of the best land in the State of
Ohio, located near the City of Columbus.
AS an importer Of French Percheron
and German Coach horses, the Doctor
has not an equal in this country.
The fowl-raising department is a
marvel of ingenuity and perfection
but, perhaps the dairy department is
where the Doctor shows his greatest
sense of order and sanitary science.
His milk cows, of the purest Jersey
stock, have all been subjected to the
tuberculin tests, and he gives to the
City of Columbus pure milk, certified
by the Board of Health.
The milk stables, the milk men and
the whole process Of milking are alb
solutely fauitlcss and clean.
The Doctor himself,past 20 years Of age,
is the managing head of the farm.
