HE rat is the worst animal pest in the world. From its home among filth It visits dwellings and storerooms to pollute and destroy human food. It carries bubonic plague and many other Diseases fatal to man and baa been responsible for more untimely deaths among human beings than all the wars of history. In the United States rats and mice each year destroy crops and other property valued at over $200,000,- 000. This destruction is equivalent to the gross earnings of an army of over 200,000 men. On many a farm, if the grain eaten and wasted by rats nnd mite could be sold, the proceeds would more than pay all the farmer's taxes. The common brown rat breeds six to ten times a year and produces an average of ten young at a litter. Young females breed when only three or four months old. At this rate a pair of rats, breed- ing uninterruptedly and without deaths, would at the end of three years (18 generations) be increased to 359,709,482 individuals. For centuries the world has been fighting rats without organization and at the same time has been feed- ing them and building for them fort- resses for concealment. If we are to fight them on equal lernis we must deny them food and hiding places. We must organize and unite to rid communities of these pests. The time to begin is now. Granaries, corncribs, and poultry houses may be made rat-proof by a liberal use of cement in the found- ations and floors; or the floors may be of wood resting upon concrete. It has been found lhat in poultry houses, dry soil or sand may be used as a covering for the cement floor, and in stables a wooden floor resting on concrete is just as satisfactory so far as the exclusion of rats is con- cerned. The common practice of sotting corncribs on posts with inverted pans at the top often fails to exclude rats, because the posts are not high I onotigh to place the lower cracks of the structure beyond reach of the animals. As rats are excellent jump- ers, the posts should be tall enough to prevent the animals from obtain- ing a foothold at any place within three feet of the ground. A crib built in this way, however, Is not very satisfactory. For a rat-proof crib a well-drained site should be chosen. The outer walls, laid in cement, should be sunk about 20 inches into the ground. The space within the wiiDta should be grouted thoroughly v it h cemenl and broken stone antff Hin : ed with rich concrete for a tlnor. Lj>on this the structure may be built. Even the walls of (lip crib may be of concrete. Corn will not mold in contact with them, provided there Is good ventila- tion and the'roof is water-tight. However, there are cheaper ways of excluding rats from either new or old corncribs. Kats, mice, and spar- rows may be kepi out effectually by the use of either an inner or an outer covering of galvaniz^d-wire netting of half-inch mesli and heavy enough to resist the teeth of the rain. The netting in common use in screening cellar windows is suitable for cover- ing or lining cribs. As rats can climb the netting, the entire structure must bo screened, or, if sparrows arc not to be excluded, the wire netting may be carried up about three feet from the ground, and above this a belt of sheet metal about a foot in width may be tacked to the outside of the building. Owing to their cunning, it is not always easy to clear rats from prem- ises by trapping; if food is abundant, It is impossible. A few adults refuse to enter the mosl innocent-looking trap. And yet trapping, if persistent- ly followed, is one of the most effec- tive ways of destroying the animals. For general use the improved mod- ern traps with a wire fall released liy a hailed trigger and driven by a coiled spring have marked advan- tages over the old forms, and many of them may be used at the same tMiie. These traps, sometimes called "guillotine" traps, are of ninny de- signs, but the more simply construct- ed are preferable. Probably those made entirely of metal are the best, as they are more durable. Traps with tin or sheet-metal bases are not recommended. A small section of an- ear of corn is an excellent bait if other grain is not present. Other excellent baits for in* and mice are oatmeal, toast- ed cheese, toasted bread (buttered), fish, tlsh offal, fresh liver, raw meat, pine nuts, apples, carrots, and corn, and sunflower, squash, or pumpkin seeds. Broken fresh eggs are good bait at all seasons, and ripe tomatoes, green cucumbers, and other fresh vegetables are very tempting to the animals in winter. When seed, grain, o:' meal is used with a guillotine trap, It is put on the trigger plate, or the trigger wire may be bent out- ward and the bait placed directly under It. Among the principal poisons that have been recommended for killing rats and mice are barium carbonate, strychnin, arsenic, phosphorus, and squills. Poison for rats should never be placed in open or unsheltered places. This applies particularly to strychnin or arsenic on meat. Packages con- fining poisons should always bear a warning label and should not be K.-ji whero children might reach them. Condensed from U. S, Partn- ers' Bulletin No. 896. The Rise of Maxwell is Due to its Metals FINE soil makes fine wheat; fine feathers make a fine bird; and fine metals have made the Maxwell. They have given it: IA life of 100,000 miles. 2 Thriftiness. For its metals arc light in weight. Therein comes thriftiness. But these metals are of extra strength. Therein comes long life. Metallurgists those who have made the study of metals a science will tell you that such metals are costly, but they guarantee quality in a car and their gen- erous employment in a Maxwell is by far the best evidence anyone may need to determine its quality. They are almost alone responsible for the rapid rise of Maxwell, for the fact that nearly 400,- 000 now have been built, for that ever-growing friendliness to Maxwe'l the world over. We want you to ride in the Maxwell. To take a turn at the wheel. To learn how easily it drives. To know how good a car it actually is. Call and see this latest Maxwell. E. E.
