raycnous feeder and exacts an an
nual toll OF millions of dollars worth

spreader OF disease and epidemics,
he is paramount pest. The rayages
OF the bubonic plague are said To
lie solely at the door of the rat. The
cement floors, making impossible any
ingress TO the grain bins, will, IL Is
believed, effectually check the career
OF this tiny but terrible devastator.

In all cases where compressive
rather than tensile strength is requir

highly satisfactory. the comparative

and tension being ten to one. Five
years ago one barrel of cement was
used 10 every 1000 feet OF lumber
Today there are sixteen barrels used
to every 1000 feet. Ii is estimated
that for the year ending Dec 81

cement will have been used And
