WHAT FARMER THINKS

The following is quoted from
letter written by w. H. Har-

CAL:
Farming is no longer a blum
dering job. 1t is growing into

ton. method, system and scien-

Since calico has become fashionable

cities Need Rat oesenses.

The city is the great stronghold Of
the rat, Its permanent refuge and Its
last line of defense. The rodents

tricts and villages, but II not routed
In the cities the whole country would
soon be repopulated with rats from

though less abundant. Many large
buildings. rat-proOf as to walls and
foundations, have become infested
with rodents through carelessness or
oversight of owners or occupants and
the animals are intrenched behind fix
lures or merchandise. Fortunately it
is possible to rout the rats from these
hiding places.
The biological survey of the u. s.
department Of agriculture recon-
mends that cities require that all
buildings to be erected shall be made
rat-proof under a rigid system Of In
spection; that all existing buildings
with rat-proOf walls and foundations
be made really rat-proof by closing or
screening every opening through which
rats might enter; that rat-proofing re-
pairs be applied voluntarily to all
buildings that need them. Use of dogs,
cats and traps also may bring benefit.
