METHOD OF DESTROYING RATS
Carbon BisuIphide Is Used With Elk.
ceIIent Results by Agricultural
Bureau Of Java.

A consular report gives the follow
ing method of destroying rats adopted
by M. de Kruyff, of the agricultural
bureau of Java. All visible rat holes
were first stopped with earth to ascer-
tain which holes were inhabited, for
the inhabited holes were found reop-
ened on the following day. Half a
teaspoonful of carbon bisulphide was
poured in each of these holes, and
after delay of a few seconds to al
low the liquid to evaporate, the mix
ture of vapor and air was ignited.
The result was a small explosion,
which filled the hole with poisonous
gases and killed all the rats almost
instantly. A pound of bisulphide is
sufficient for more than zoo, rat holes.
One hundred and thirty-one dead rats
were found in 43 holes which were
opened after the operation. 1t Is
further stated that satisfactory re-
suits in exterminating porcupines
have been obtained by this method.

frame is built to go over large box

err is covered with one-inch mesh
chicken wire and set SO that 1t slants

are placed upon this screen, and the
small ones pass through the meshes
into the box or bin below.
The larger potatoes roll down to-
ward the lowest end of screen. Two
men standing on each side of the de-
vice can pick out all the damaged po-
tatoes as they roll down over same,
thus securing perfectly sorted pota-
toes with but fraction of the time,
labor and expense required to sort
them by handling each one.
If the device is placed on a bin

an inclined surface should be placed
at the foot of the screen so the tubers
