unbelievable war has been 'waged
and the slaughter Of the enemy
has been fierce. But the neigh

an observant farmer included the

every farmer to procure copy
Of this, bulletin.
Among the effective measures
against the rats recommended, ra,
proof construction holds a place
of first Importance. The bul'n-
tin says: 1.-THE best way to ex-
clude rats from buildings, wheth-
er in city or country, is by the
use of cement construction. As
the advantages of this material
are coming to be generally under
stood, its use is rapidly extend
ing to all kinds of buildings.
Dwellings, diaries, barns, stables,
chicken houses, ice houses. bridg-
'es, dams, sillos, tanks, ciSterrb,
root cellars, hotbeds, sidewalks,
and curbs are now often made
wholly of cement. The processes
of mixing and laying this materia
ial require little skill or special
knowledge, and wOrkmen of Ordi.

contained in handboOks of cement

handbOOkS are often furnished fir
by cement manufacturers. Gran
aries, cOrncribs and poultry nous
es may be made rat-prOOf by {
Liberal use of concrete in the foul
dations and floors; or the floors
may be of wood resting upon con
crete.
For rat-prOof crib a well
drained site should be chosen
The outer walls laid in cement
should be sunk about 26 inche

The bulletin suggests a chear

in a single night. The plan in
and feeding them for several day
volved toling the rats to the
place and feeding them for sever
al days on the tops Of barrels Gov
cred with coarse brown paper.
Afterwards a cross was cut in the
paper, so that the rats fell into
the barrel. Many variations of
the plan, but few improvements
upon it, have been suggested by
agricultural writers since that
made Of large catches of rats by
time. Reports are frequently
made of large catches Of rats by
means of a barrel fitted with a
light cover of wood, hinged on a
rod so as to turn with the weight
Of a rat
On the subject of bats the bull
letin says:
1.-THE best bait to use in trap
the rats donOt get in the vicini-
ping is usually food of a kind
that the rats do not get in the
vicinity. In a meat market veg.
etables or grain should be used
in a feed store, meat. As far as
possible, food other than the bait
, should be inaccessible while trap

use, but they may do some gOOt

V Several pOisOns are considered
!, among which are strychnine, al
S seni,c, and phosphorus. One o
2 the most useful poisons is ba
rium carbonate of which the bul
n letin says:
n This mineral has the advaI
II tage of being without taste o
t smell. 1t has a corrosive actio
on the mucous lining of the stOn
n ach and is dangerous to large an
o mails if taken in sufficient quar-
d tity. In the small doses fed t
10 rats and mice it wouldbe harmle
n to domestic animals. Its actio
/ upon rats is slow and if exit
e possible, they usually leave tn
It premises in search of water. Fo

either new or old eorncribs by
the use Of either an inner or an
outer covering of galvanized wire
heavy enough to resist the teeth
of rats. Netting in common use
for screening cellar windows is
suitable for covering cribs. AS
rats can climb the netting, the
entire structure must be screen
ed.
AS methods for driving rats
away the following are mentioned
l. Freshly slaked lime placed
dry in all burrows and runs of
rats
2. Freshly made. thin white
wash poured into the rat burrows
+, 3. A strong solution of cop

). Gas tar daubed about the
burrOw entrances.
6. Powdered red pepper scat
tered in rat runs and BURROWS.
7. Caustic potash placed in
the burrows and runs.
Among the methods for destroy
ing rats, traps are given frs
place. Several kinds of traps arf
mentioned as efficient although il
is admitted that some wise ode
rats are very wary. The fac
that rats are social animals no
devoid of curiosity gives an adj
vantage to the trap which may az
accommodate several Individuals
The cage traps are of this kind
It is recommended that they b.
baited and left open for sev3ra
nights until the rats are accuston
ed to enter them to obtain food
They should then be closed ant
freshly baited, when a larg
catch may be expected, especial,
of young ra's. As many as q
and even more, partly grown rat
have been taken at a time in ON
of these traps.
Professor Lantz quotes frOr

Accurate estimates of losses on
account of rats have not been
made in this country. Professor
Lantz gives the estimates of
some European countries as fol-
lows:
I'm Denmark they have been
reported as amounting to 15,OOO,-
600 francs($ 3,0OO,0O0) yearly. In
France in 1904 the total losses
from rats and mice were estimat-
ed at 2OO,OOO,OOO francs( nearly
$40,00O,00O). The German Minis.
try of Agriculture, in a circular
addressed to various subordinate
chambers of agriculture, states
tat the people of Germany suf.
fer an annual loss through TIT
agency of the rat of at least
2O0,0OO,000 marks ($5O,0OO,0O0.
Sir James Chrichton-Browne, o.

says that the damage done by tn,
rat in Great Britain and Irelant
