ALSO PRIZE CHICKENS

TOTTENVILLE, Dec. 12.-lS IL
cheaper to let rats kill off your chick
ems, or to put poison around the hen-
merry to kill the rats and the chick
n too? This is the question being
asked by Louis Walters of 10 Yet
man of his neighbors.
Walters, who in ordinary life. is a
ticket collector for the Staten Island
Rapid Transit Railroad Companys
ferry plying between Tottenville and
Perth Amboy, is somewhat of a
chicken fancier. He has a number
of prize chickens on his place which
he has taken great pride in. Rats
were making nightly rounds to the
hennery during the past several
weeks and taking some of the best
stock. He decided to make war on
the rodents and Friday night Walters
lset a mixture of bread and poison for
Ithe rats.
When Walters went to the hen
merry Saturday morning he FOUND
that the poison had done its work in
killing two big rats. but he over
looked the fact that the rats had
carried some of the poison to the
runway and shortly afterward when
his wife had gone to the hennery
she found seven of the best Ply
mouth Rocks and a pigeon had been
poisoned and were lying in the
chicken yard dead. Walters says
that hereafter he will try another
method of doing away with rats,
even If he has to employ a Pled
Piper or a professional rat catcher.
