DIVIDENDS OUT
OF MOUSE FARM.
Californian Sells 10000 Ro-
dents in Year Which

USED IN RESEARCH

MODESTO, CALIF.-Most people
try to get rid Of the mice around
their homes, but not Frank Cook,
Modesto district rancher. Cook ac-
tually encourages them, then sells
them and lives on the profits.
Cook first became interested in
mouse farming" when he noticed
the large number of the tiny rodents
used in scientific research. He de-
cided to capitalize on the demand
and go in for large-scale raising Of
white mice.
That was in 1884. Today he owns
rather an unusual mouse farm,
which nets him a good return.
During the first few years of his
venture Cook was able to sell about
10000 mice. Now, he says, the de-
mand has grown. Last year he sold
10000, and he predicts he will top
that record in 1899. Research labo-
ratories are his chief market.
Cook becomes irked when people
tell him his work is easy-that all
he has to do is turn the mice loose
and '1et 'em multiply"
He denies there is anything easy
about the work, pointing out that in
finite care must be taken to keep
his charges in good health. Diet
and housing are the greatest prob
lens.
At first Cook made the roof Of
his farm building of straw, but re-

Now he has two roofs, with about

insulation.
