Farm and Home.


After an investigation covering two
weeks, William Krohbach Of Dandy,
Pa, has learned the reason he has
been receiving only two or three eggs
a day from his flock Of sixty hens, and
incidentally found out something
about the inventive capacity of rats.
One morning he heard a noise in
his chicken house, and quietly making
his way there, he saw two big rats
in the act of making away with a
newly-laid egg. One Of the rodents
was lying fiat on its back with the
egg tightly clutched in its four paws,
while the other rat was dragging it
along by the tail. Krohbach was so
impressed by the sight that he
watched the rodents for three minutes
during which time they carried the
egg for twenty yards along the fence
until they came to hole in the
ground, into which they took the egg.
One Of the rats became tired while
carrying the egg and changed places
with its fellow.

For instance Rosalie told that she was very

her aunts terribly. Her mother had always said.
