They frequently ba.ve from 10 to 12 titters a year. An, average litter is 10 young, and may number as .high as 20. The rat is so cunkink that several methods of trapping or .poisoning have to be Used..We will 'endeavor to dis- cuss some of, the methods most suc- cessfully used. ..• • Take the eaperience„.. ..... oa.- Fatience,, ,of Massachusetts, for ex- ample.

Other greens jest have chalk Lines to designate the end of the playing surface. The ditches have proven to be the best of all. We earl- recall a controvelay over what. to put in the bottom of the ditches to keep the bowls clean. When ,the green was first made; ev- ery btawl,„t„hat went into"the ditth on a wet evening got covered with mud. Dead dew worms and decaying matter often raised such' an odour it would almost chase the bowlers away. The clippings from the green were tried, but they also in turn decayed. Sand was tried, but it worked down into the mud in a short time. 'Someone— we don't know who—thought of the idea of getting gravel from: the lake shore: This turned out to be id'eal. Each pebble is so smooth ,that it doesn't init. or Chip the bawls,. and it hat outlasted the most optimistic expectations. * * * There were 34 entries in a- men's doubles tournament on Wednesday evening, Although it was staged in Seaforth, it was the Brussels club that sponsored it. This has become an annual event, as the Brussels green is too small to accommodate a large entry.

The Editor, The Huron Eepositor: . Dear Sir: The unusual is happen- ing. We read -of Westerners going east to harvest the Ontario crops. In bygone years it was ill the other way. Harvest excudsicons brought many from the eastern provincPla .to „help the western farmer with his big crops. Soine of these excursionists stayed, took up land and became permanent citizens. A nfeiv :!made their ,pile" and retired to some east- ernn town, there to live in ease for the rest of their life; sorne went to the coast to live in that 'so -nailed "roe6ca for prairie people.'" But the majority have stayed with the land of their adoption. . • • It is intetesting to hear these "old- timers" indulging,in reminiscences of their early days here, say some 40 or 50' -years ago, when the prairies stretched away in airy undulatinns, with much unbroken sod, covered with. waving ,grass and. millions of beautiful, wild flov,-ers—a county and prospecta which appealecf to so many young men, especially those -from across the ocean, the great open spaces with so much elbow room— such a contrast to their thickly popu- lated homeland.
