located in mill, situated on river
bank, and in the fall of the year we
were always troubled with rats in
large numbers, which caused great
damage and annoyance and we, there
fore, were very much interested in
eliminating the pest. The thing that
we found most efficient in this line
was a bacteria called azoa, which will
not affect dogs or cats or poultry, or
pets of that nature, but will inoculate
the rats and, as the bacteria develops,

cannibalistic in their nature. feed on
one another, and in this way they dis

and work their own destruction. In
the experiments that were made with
this bacteria in it's early stages, some
of it was used on isolated farms, and
later rats were found to be destroyed
by this material three to five miles
from the original place in which It was
