narily exasperating to am author. but q
Washington writer on scientific mat
tiers was recently not very agreeably
surprised by such development.
1t appears that the writer was col

electro magnetism when word came DO
him Of a valuable paper on the subject
not long before published In Berlin
journal devoted to science. Thinking
that the paper would be OF use to him
in the work In hand. he had 1t trans.
lated. When the English version was
laid before him, together with quite q
bill for the translator's labor. what was
the disgust of the writer to find that
the article was nothing more or less
than German reproduction OF an ar
ticle OF his own published the year be

a Hint TO Home Merchants.

Most farmers would rather trade
with their local merchants than send
of for goods If they can get what
they want and at something near the
same price, but the business of the mail
order houses Is growing and will con-
tinue to grow until the local merchants
wake up to the fact that they must keep
In stock what the people want and sell
at price that will not exceed that of the
mail order house with the freight add
ed. Merchants who make IBID" for
business by keeping the right kind OF
stock and letting the people know 1t
through the advertising columns of the
local paper are reasonably sure of pros
perity.

In the reimbursement Of the dairy in

extent by the prevailing higa prices of

be wise to consider not only milk pro-
duction, but such byproducts as calves
and steers. A great deal has been said

Excluding Rats From BUILDINGS.

Excluding Rats From Buildings.
The best way of excluding rats from
buildings, whether in the city or coun.
try, is by the use of cement in con
struction. AS the advantages of this
material are coming to be generally
understood its use is rapidly extend
ing to all kinds of building. Dwellings.
dairies, barns. stables chicken houses.
lcehouses. bridges, dams. silos. tanks.
clstens, root cellars. hotbeds. side
walks and curbs are now often made
wholly Of concrete In constructing
dwelling houses the additional cost of
making the foundations rat proof is
slight rs compared with the advan-
tages. The cellar walls should have
concrete fooings and the walls them
selves be laid in cement mortar. The
cellar floor should be of medium
rather than lean" concrete. and all
water and drain pipes should be sur
rounded with concrete Even an Old
cellar may be made rat proof at com
paratively small expense. Rat holes
may be permanently closed by mix
ture Of cement. sand and broken glass
or sharp bits of stone.-David e. Lantz
