From the number of complaints be-
ing made there are about as many
rats in this territory now as there
were last year and the probability is
they will do more damage unless
something is done TO get rid of them.
Grain and poultry are too high in
price to be used as feed for rats and
the rodents should be fed a few doses
of rough Oh rats or some other rat
poison instead. If care is taken to
place the poison under floors or in
the rats runways where other animals
or poultry cannot get it, they can be
to kin them off before warm weather
sets in.
The boys at the depot are very
frequently bothered by parties who
bring in trunks, furniture and other
material for shipment which are not
properly prepared. They frequently
have TO get busy and help make a |
crate for stove, a sewing machine
or something of that order, and more
frequently they are compelled to pre-
pare the shipping tags as about half
of the stuff is improperly marked. |
The depot boys are a bunch of good
fellows and will furnish person
with all the information they need
much more readily than they will
