(Contributed by Ontario Department e! Agriculture. Toronto.) THE 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 man" other diseases fatal to mast and has been responsible for more untimely deaths among human beings than ail the wars of history. In the United States rata and mica -each year destroy crops and other property valued at over $2OEQ,000,- 000. This. destruction; is equivalent to the, gross earnings• ot. an, army ot, over 200,0Q0• men. On many- a farm, if the grata Welt and waisted by rats add mite" could be !told, aha pproceede would • more than pay all the farmer's taxes. The common brown rat breeds nix to ten times a year and produces as aierage of ten young at a • Ii , Young females breed when only to or four months old. 'At this rate a pair of rats, breed - lag tsninterruptedly and without 'deaths. Jwotiid ' at tho end' of three years (3'S generations) be inereased to 8.59,709,482 individuals. For centuries the world has bees fightia}s, rats without organisation and at the same -tithe his been feed ing them and building for them fort- resses for concealment. If we are•.te fight them on equal terms we must ,deny them food -and ,hiding. placed. We must organize and. unite to rid communities of these pests. The time to begin is now. Granaries, corncribs, end 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 that in poultry houses, dry soil or sand may be used as a covering for the cement boor, and in stables a.woode n iloo ti r resting, on concrete is just as satisfactory so far as the exclusion° of rats is con- cerned. The common practice ' of setting corncribs on poste with inverted pans at the top ,pften fails to exclude rats, because the posts are not high enough to place„ Lite lower cracks of the structure beyond reach of the animals. As rats axe excellent jump- ers, the posts shQuid be tall enough to prevent the, aniniale from obtain- ing a foothold at any place within three feet of the ground. A crib built in this way, however; •is not fiery satisfactory: For a rat -proof crib a welt -drained` site should be chosen. The outer walls, laid is cement, should be sunk about 20 inches into the ground. The space within the walls should be grouted thoroughly -with cement and. broken stone and finished with rich, concrete for a floor. Upon this' the structure may be built. Even tl% walls of the 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,; Owes. ,ways. of 'excluding rate from either new or old corncribs. Rots, mien, and spar- rows may beA kept out '•ffectually by tpe use of either an inner or an tauter covering of gall+t:iz:ed-wire •netting of half-inch gees] and heavy enough to resist the teeth of the rats. The netting in common use in screening cellar windpws is suitable for cover- ing or lining cribs. As rats can climb the; netting, the entire structure must. be screened, or, if sparrows are 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 most 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 by a baited trigger and driven by a coiled spring have marked advan- tages over the old forms, and' many of them may be used at' the saute time. These traps, sometimes called "guillotine" traps, are of many de- signs, but the more simply construct- ed are preferable. Probably those m de entirely of metal are the best, ad' 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 rats and mice are oatmeal, toast- ed cheese, toasted bread (buttered), fish, fish offal, fresh liver, raw sheat, 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, or meal Is'`used with a guillotine trap,it isput on the trigger1 e plate, , or the trigger wire May be bent out- ward and the bait placed directly Y under it. Among the principal poisons that have been recommended • for" killing rats and mice` are barium carbonate, strychnin, 'arsenic, phosphorus, and squtil8: • - Poison for rats should: never be placed in Open off' unsheltered" places.

(Contributed by Ontarto Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) BE great Subject of conver- sation among the rural peo- ple to -day is the present scrub bull campaign, Already.. meetings are being held in a great many of the counties in con- nection with it and. at every agricul- tural meeting of any importance at all, the scrub bull le being "'cussed" and discussed with a vim and.

Some farmers are .Saying that the Government hal no right to try to make them discard their .scrub sire and use a pure-bred of good qual- itir The Govers«nuent is not, in any •way, tryipgt,to; foree,•anybody to die - pose of hls her'dKlre,.,for»a better, one; everybody has a " right to use any kind of an animal.;that he wants to ,and it•lA. not ods ji la trait' but kris. own. But what they are doing, la to make plain to the owners of grade and scrub pure-bred sires the value of a bull that has a reasonable amount of individualism and breeding behind bins, and then leave the whole ques- tion to be turned over and threshed out in the farmer's own mind. Although the present campaign in Obtario'ia a new idea in this province, such work has been going on for e ata of the some time In different parts United States, particularly in. Wis- coliesin, which is one of the banner states of that country. In that state they are going about it in a little different manner than is being adopt- ed in Ontario, Instead of the state Government doing the greater part of it, the different breed associations are the "men behind the gun." They got the school children interested in taking -a census of the • cattle in the different counties. After dila was fin- agled, meetings were held in differ- ent- parts of the county and discus- sions on the value of good bulls were herd. In order to give the.caiapaign a Starting impetus the different breed associations,-decieed to donate pure= bred sires to a common cause. These pure-bred sires%were-given tout farm- er in exchange for his scaub pure- bred or grade sire, which was in turn sold for beef and the money re- ceived, used to catty on the • cam- paign to a greater extent; eln•thla way there :was no naoney • etchanged -be- twleen the farmer recei`i'ing the good pure-bred and campaign authorities; the farmer thereby getting a good .bull. for, the price of beef, and a surety bf-reeping • soma: -benefit from the influence on his herd, The cam- paign was carried oa very energeti- cally and eysteetet,ca�lly; Mrd gave ex- cellent .'resulta.,• £Sther epunties and states have adopted their general methods and are carrying on cam- paigns in different localities with good results, and it is safe to say that if the rural people of this pro- vince are as easy to teach, and there is no reason why alley shouldn't be, the campaign in Ontario should be a huge success. In dealing with the scrub bull or grade sire there are one or two prin- ciples in breeding that are .easily understood, and should be compre- hended by all owners of bulls. The old saying that "like begets like" goes to a certain extent, but in using, a grand sire one is one always sure of what one is going to get in the off- spring because, in the use of an ani- mal with several infusions of blood, thar'e is always a breakipg up and segregation of characters which does not get anybody any place in the de- velopment of their herd. Whereas, in the use of the pure-bred of good qual- ity there is always a chance of any resulting service being better than the `parents. Pure-bred sires of good breeding' are endowed with a char- acter or power called prepotency, which means that an animal has the power to• stamp on his offspring some desirable characteristic more than some other. When we • consider that the grade sire is likelyto throw any- thing in the way o4 calves; and the scrub pure-bred has�'bd prejlotency, there is a reason thud€ tilt's ';class of animal should be discarded• as_ soon as circumstances will permit and good ones substituted. --.J • Com',.'
