She says of the peppermint p'.ant "We j^laco it in the oats, rye and corn, when they are brought in, and some goes under the pig-!ity3. Though we no longer haye any rats, we continue to use the plant, for fear thej^ might make us a visit." If this is so, in the absence of the plant, probably a few drops of the oil of peppermint would answer the same purpose. â€" Amencan A(iricidturist for Aj)ril.
