Aw Who in heck do we think we're kidding' Pi- ;ably the only man that ever made money out of rats was the poet who wrote that thing about "The Pie -eyed Piper of Hamilton," os whatever it was; and the rates paid for poetry being what they were, and are, we doubt if his take was great, at that. * * * But to most of us, rats are just an ever-present pest, although most of us don't realize just how much destruction they actually do. Any- way, I'm not going to apologize fol reminding you about this menace once again, or for handing along these four steps which, if carefully followed, should be a big help in ridding your farm of rats. * * * FIRST—Clean up. Get rid of all trash, lumber, posts and so forth which make nesting and hiding places for the rats. Pile posts in racks at least a foot off the ground. * * * SECOND — Pre -bait. Set out weighed portions of unpoisoned bait for a few nights. (Ground horse meat is good for this purpose). This will show you about how many rats you are harboring. One pound of bait makes a night's meal for 100 rats. * * * THIRD—Poison. Mix red squill or antu with the same amount of meat the rats cleaned up the pre- vious night. Lock up all live stock and pets! Put your poisoned bait on short lengths of board, as this makes the uneaten bait easy to. pick up in the morning. V-shaped board covers placed over the bait will protect your live stock from getting at the bait, if any of your animals should happen to be run- ning loose before the bait is picked • * up. FOURTH--Rat-proof your build- ings. Repair and patch all old holes in foundations and sills. Line door jam ,e, sill: and door bottoms with sheet metal. Put metal collars around all pipes and wires by which rats may enter your buildings. If you have corn cribs, line them with hardware cloth topped by strips of sheet metal. * * So there you have it; and even if it sounds like a heap of bother, take k from those who know, you'll find it time and labor extra well spent, * * * Now, with cold weather just sound the corner (we seem to be !nest full of happy thoughts today!) might not be amiss to pass along (some expert information about an - ether .roost important matter, name - its, your chimneys. * * *. For even the best in home heat - keg equipment will perform in ratio to the effective structural design rind capacity of the chimney or vent pipe to which it is connected. For a chimney or vent pipe is, first send foremost, a venting device which is supposed to carry the waste products of combustion to the outdoors, and nothing, either decorative or structural, Should be incorporated in a chimney design which will prevent it, to the slight- est degree, from performing this function. * * Poor chimney construction is one of the chief causes of all home fires. It is vitally important to the home owner that no combustible material be in contact • with a chimney. There are definite specifications for the clearance between smoke pipes and vent pipes and near -by com- bustible material such as joists, wood lath, plaster and wooden par- titions. All such surfaces ought to be adequately protected with fireproof material. It's the cheapest form of fire insurance you can find. (Still, this doesn't mean that you should neglect to carry fire insurance as well—enough to cover you, and at present-day replacement prices). * * * In certain areas where soft coal • is burned for hone heating, chim- neys and smoke pipes are bound to accumulate a layer of soot, so it is necessary to have such chimneys cleaned out regularly, Otherwise, chimneys will "burn out" — the soot will catch fire — and scatter- ing sparks from such blazes can ignite combustible roofs, especially in dry weather. * * * Besides that, if wooden members of your house framing happen to be touching a chimney, internal fires can result from a flash fire in a chimney. * * Make certain that a short, direct and well -supported pipe connects your furnace with the chimney, This will do away with a collection c'haanber for soot. Sections of the smoke pipe should be fitted to- gether with metal screws, not merely shoved into place, and the smoke pipe should be securely hung fr'oni the overhead joists with metal straps, also cemented into the flue opening of the chimney and so built that it can withstand any "puff - back."

It sounds like a fish story, and so it is. The "poor fish" is poor no longer. He is contribut- ing to our comfort and health in many spectacular ways. Codfish livers started it. It was found that oil extracted from these contained deposits of Vital gin ., which strengthens our resistance to disease, But codfish did not hold the monopoly. Halibut, swordfish, sturgeon and albacore also had vita- min -rich livers. The fortunes that were made by processing fish livers and market- ing the oil, prompted industrialists to take a closer look at the fish to see if anything else besides its flesh and oil could be turned to account. They took a tip from the Chinese and began to manufacture a tasty soup from the fins of the shark. Then somebody discovered how to make glue from fish skins, a process which has been so much improved that today a ton of fish skins yields 60 gallons of liquid glue. Quite apart from the oil in fish liver, it was found that sharks, her- rings, sardines, salmon and mack- erel all provide an oil which is now used in the manufacture of paints, in tempering steel, in making lower grade soaps, and in the tanning industry to make leather more plia- ble for gloves and handbags. Guanine, a substance obtained from fish, is processed into the lovely pearl essence used by mak- ers of artificial jewelry. From the air bladder of such as the sturgeon, carp, catfish and cod, isinglass is obtained. This is used in making jellies, imparting gloss to silk ribbon, and for making cer- tain glues and plasters. It is highly valued by brewers and wine manu- facturers because is clarifies their brews and vintages. Enterprising one-man firms 'are fashioning trinkets and ornaments from the peculiarly shaped bones in some fishes' heads. He Knew The wedding presents were on view. Displayed in a prominent position was a cheque for $10,000, the gift of the bride's father. "I say, who is that chap laughing at your father's chequer exclaimed the bridegroom, feeling annoyed. "Oh, that's his bank manager!" said the bride. ISSUE 37 -- 1949 by .� SwEsiTC•1 re. Now swimming meets—unless they happen to include Esther Will- iams in Technicolor—are a type of sports event which we can either take or leave alone, principally the latter. We recall sitting about half- way through one such meet, many years ago, and then announcing that we were going to ask for our money back on the grounds that not a single record had been broken. (We only 'desisted from making this laudable attempt when some- body remineded us that, as we had conte in on a "skull," it mightn't be quite ethical to demand the return of our admission fee. But if you get the point we are trying to make, swimming records are a dine a dozen or thereabouts, and it is a very unusual meet that doesn't see several of them] broken.) K * * But this 21 -year-old Hironoskin Furuhashi seems to be something really out of this world; and he fair- ly knocked the folks out in Los Angeles, where they take their swimming very seriously indeed, for a whole series of loops with the way he churned up the water recently. Vv hen word came out of Japan as to some of the things Hiro - - - - shucks, let's just make it H. F. and let it go at that—was supposed to have been doing, it raised peals of scornful laughter among prominent U.S. swimming coaches, who think that they wrote the entire book so far as the natatorial pastime is con- cerned. But they soon changed their tune when they saw the young Nip really go to work, Here, in a couple of nutshells, is what H. F. showed the folks. He started off by doing the 1500 meters in 18:19—just 39.8 seconds lower than the former mark made 11 years ago. Then, in the 400 meters, he hit 4:33.3 which is just 1.9 sec- onds faster than Alex Jany's record made in 1947. That same evening that he broke the 400 meter nark he anchored his Tokyo Swim Club team to victory in the 800 meter free -style relay in 8:54.4—which is six -tenths of a sec- ond faster than the mark the folks south of the border made such a fuss about when the United States Olympic Team set it last year, K * * Not satisfied with that, he topped things off with a 9:35.5 in the 800 meters, which lopped 15.4 seconds from Bill Smith's record, which had stood for 8 years. For those of you who may be in-, terested in the style, he used, H.F., and the rest of his Japanese team- mates swam with a very choppy, short arni stroke with a revolution- ary four -beat, instead of the cus- tomary six -beat, kick for every two strokes. On the last two strokes the Nips rest their legs. * Furuhashi carries this new style to its zenith. His arms rotate like a churn, apparently without pause, and he obtains maximum power from extra -strong back muscles. That, according to the experts, is the big difference between Japanese • swimming and what we are accus- tomed to on this side of the Pacific, The Japs use their backs, while our lads and lasses are trained to use mostly the arms and shoulders. * * . .K But, just in case some of you are thinking of going and changing your own style overnight, and set- ting out to bust a flack of records on your own, here's the catch. It takes training—real, gruelling train- ing—to make a swimmer such as Hiro-whoo-zit. He commenced swimming as most Japanese kids do, when he started public school. And by the time he was eleven—that's ten years ago—in an all -Japan com- petition he set records which are still standing. * * Personally, we think an outboard motor is a whole lot less work; and even speedier, if it doesn't act up and refuse to start.
