How to Free the Place of Rats.

when I was a boy our farm was
alive with rats" a contributor tells in
Farm and Fireside
I'VE noticed the rats were eating the
grain and drinking the water of sit
ting hen in a corner Of the barn. So
when the hen Matched and was NOV
the first night killed twenty-three rats
end the second nineteen.
Besides this good many more
went away to die. The best way to
get rid of rats is to make them &C.
customed to drink at one place and
then poison the water"

Dresden China.

of Saxony-16S2-1719 we owe the
secret of making china or porcelain.
1t was in ITO that a lucky accident
revealed to Bottger the true nature of
the required paste. Having noticed
the unusual weight of some hair pow
der, he inquired what it was made of
and found that it was finely powder
ed clay from Aue. He forthwith pro-
cured some of the clay, made vessels
of it and, to his infinite delight, learn
ed that he had at last found the very
material he wanted. In a word, he
had made the discovery of porcelain.
