THE COST OF RODENTS.
Rats Alone Cause an Annual Loss Of
$3.50, 100 in U. S.

Rats, nice, flies, mDsquitos, and the
various forms Of body parasites have
always been held in contempt and dis
gust and always and everywhere have
been regarded as vermin. Growing
knowledge of the important role played
! by these lower forms of animal life i'm
the transmission OF disease is ample
justification for this feeling. They are
exceedingly expensive.
The Journal OF the American Medi-
cal Association comments on recent
article in The Farm and Fireside,
which discusses the amount Of damage
done in this country by rats. and esti-
mates that there are in the United
States at least BOG, 600. 600 Of these ami
mails, alike destructive to property and
dangerous 10 health. Rats are said to
destroy 100000, 900 worth Of grain ev-
cry year i'm this country. or enough To
feed one hen for every man. woman,
and child in the nation. The annual
cost Of rats 10 the nation is estimated
AT 1850, 900. 900.
In addition, the rat population of the
country forms a fertile field for the
dissemination Of buboric plague which
only needs a starting point in any of.
