Getting Rid of Rats

We have had considera ble
trouble with rats in old build
ings and especially in the cellar.
Last fall, year ago, after we
had placed our apples in the
cellar for the winter, the rats de-
stroyed several bushels. We
tried some patent preparation for
killing rats. but they did not
seem to get any scarcer, and
when we had placed the little
chickens in outdoor brooders, the
rats got into a brooder Que night
and killed almost the entire lot
So last fall before we placed
the apples in the cellar, we
bought ferret and kept it about
the house a few days and ther
removed it TO the barn. When
ever we find any sign of RAJ
about any of the out buildings
we let the ferret loose about i
for short time. We have no
been troubled with rats thi
winter but our neighbors sa,
they are just about eaten vi
with them" The ferret is sucl
a deadly enemy to rats that the,
will not stay anywhere near one
This seems to me to be til
most practical plan of gettin,
rid of rats, for in poisoning the1
one is liable to poison other ami
mails, either by their eating tn
poison directly or by eating tn
poisoned rats. Every farm Shout
have its pen of ferrets, for the
