The annual sbrvices of the Staffa Methodist circuit which were held on Sunday and the picnic on the first of July in Harper's grove, Hibbert, were a big success and the proceeds amounted to about $350. On Sunday morning and evening Rev. Mr. Irwin of Lucknow, was the preacher, and in the afternoon, Rev. Dr. John Aikens, recently of Ottawa, and an old Logan boy, preached a powerful sermon. The Zion choir took part in the singing in the morning; Beth - afternoon, choir in the and the Staffa choir in the evening. An im- mense crowd of people attended the picnic on Dominion Day, but there were plenty of eatables to feed them. Dublin defeated Bethel in the foot- ball game by a score of '2 to 1. Mr. Alex.

Rat -proof Bniidiligs ancl Ctibs a Necessity, --Guillotine Treses 13s4;d --handle Poisons Carefully. (Gontrilauteai by Ontario Departsuer_tat Agriculture, Toronto;) HE tat is the worst aminal' pest" in, the world. Froin its 'home ;among filth it visits` dwellings and storerooms do pollute and destroy human food.;, It carries bubonic plague and many other diseases fatal to man and has been responsible for more untimely deaths among human beings than all the wars of history, In the United States rats and "nice eaoh year destroy crops and property valued at over $200,000other,- 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 and mice 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 ail average of ten young at a Iitter.- Young fefemales 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 terms 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 that 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 satisfactoryso far as the exclusion of rats is con- cerned. The • common practice of setting corncribs on posts with inverted pans' at the top often fails to exclude rats, because the posts are not. `high enough 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 walls should be. grouted thoroughly with cement and' broken stone and finished with rich concrete for a foo-. Upon this the structure may be built. Even thy 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 cheaper wayte of excluding rats from either new or old corncribs. Rats, mice, and spar- rows may be kept out effectually by the use of either an inner or an outer covering of galvanized -wire netting of half-inch mesh and heavy enough to resist the teeth of the rats. 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 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. their cunning., it Is not win to ie cu d g g, always easy to clear rats from prem- ises by trapping; if food is abundant, leis 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- te: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 forme, and many of -them may be used at the same time. These traps, sometimes called "guillotine" traps, are of Many 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 rats and mice are oatmeal, toast- ed cheese, toasted bread (buttered), fish, fish offal, fresh liver, W. meat; pine nuts, apples, carrots, and corn, and sunflower, squash, or pumpkin seeds. Broken fresh eggs are, good bait at all seaseus, and ripe tomatoes, green cucumbers, and other fresh vegetables'are very tempting to the animals in winter, When Seed, grain, or ideal is used with a guillotine trap, it is put on ;the trigger plate, or the trigger wire may be bent OM- ward utward and the bait placed directly under it. A'tllotig the principal poisons tlia.t have been recommended for i.ilint rats and mice are barium Carbonate, strychnln, arsenic, phosphorus, and quills, Pon for tats el"hetricl never be placed in open or "uiishelter d places.
