EFFECTIVE TRAP FOR RATS.
Water-Tight Barrel Placed In Dark
Corner OF Barn With Head
Knocked Out g Good.

a simple but effective rat trap can
be constructed In any barn BY SIM
ply setting in dark corner a water
tight barrel, with the head knocked
out and the top made accessible to
the rats by placing boxes near it or
arranging boards or poles so as to
enable them to climb up, says the
Northwest Homestead. The barrel
needs to be filled about two-thirds
full Of such rubbish as corncobs and
chips and something put on top to
entice the rats. After they become
familiar with the surroundings and
resort to the barrel regularly, which
they will In about a week If present,
the barrel should be cleaned out and
filed about three quarters full Of wa
ter; enough char should then be
thrown in to cover the water and with
1t a block of wood, on each side 81
which piece of bacon has been
tackled. This will induce the first rat
to Jump in to eat the bacon, the next
one will not hesitate to do likewise,
and then there will be fight for the
possession Of the block. The noise
will attract other rats, and when they
get in, no matter how many there
may be up to certain extent they
will all drown.

This study has given us somewhat

small farmers are not successful
This fact has led US to- study the ques.

scheme for the management Of q 40

1t viii be- observed that the forty acres

ample for what we have in view. One
half acre is devoted to garden, one.
and Y half acres to orchard and the,
remaining two acres to a paddock,
into which to turn the stock for ex-
ercise
BY judicious management these two
acres can also be made to furnish
some pasture and some soiling-crops.
The other seven five-acre tracts are.
to be devoted to a seven year rotation.
When this rotation is in full swing,
the crops on the farm for given year
are as follows: Field A, potatoes; field

By.J A. WARREN, Formerly Assistant
Agr1culturist, United States Depart-
ment Of, Agriculturel
On the average, the hog house is
the p1rest building on the farm and
the least adapted to the purpose for
Which 1t was intended. Good barns
may be seen on large proportion Of
the farms. but are generally hard to
ind. It's economy to- put up first. the.
buildings that will help most to make
money. A large portion Of the farm
ers recognize this and build good
barn before putting up a good house,
saying "the barn will help build tie.
house but the house will never helm
building the barn" This principle
seems to be lost sight Of when it
comes to the hog house, yet no other
building on the farm pays for itself so
quickly. Unpublished data collected
BY the writer show that good hog men
average about seven pigs raised to the
litter and many surpass this record.
The same data indicate that. the gem.
eral average raised on the farm does
not exceed four pigs to the litter. This
wide difference is very largely due to
the housing.
Many houses which cost enough to
be good are thoroughly unfit for the
purpose because the sun cannot shine
into the pens. Nearly every large hog
house Is deficient in either sunshine or
ventilation, or in BOTH, gg..
The illustration shows q house built
by one of the most prominent Duroc
breeders after careful study It Isl q
most serviceable structure and onesof
the best the writer has ever seen. It
IS one OF the few hog houses that
have proved so satisfactory that the
owners are willing to duplicate them.
This house has been copied by a num-
Der Of farmers In the vicinity, some Of
whom, however, have made the mis-
take Of building longer house and
not making provision for outside pens
for the extra inside pens.
The walls are sheathed, papered,
and sided. The roof is shingled. The
outside floors on the east, west, and
south are 6. feet wide. This house is

Management makes it very convenient
in sorting hogs to change them from
lone pen to another or to make extra
pens when crowded When swung
across the alley the free ends Of the
sgates fastens with common house-door
bolts. By putting these. on so, the
knobs turn up instead of down, the
owner finds that hogs can not open
them. If the knobs turned down the
hogs could open them readily. The
fronts Of the pens next the alley are
