SPARROWS AS RAT KILLERS.

At North Fort Worth the erection
of three brick buildings in a peculiar
r manner left a small court in the rear

a used as a playground by unusually
big rats that are almost driving the

Q English sparrows have of late bea
come attracted to this court and wish
s to use it as a nesting place. That rats
_ and sparrows cannot live together is
e a settled thing; therefore, the spar.
rows have decided that the rats must
leave, and daily they are killing them
off in large numbers.
