Combating the Rat Evil. i gg The rat is one of the worst pests || with which farmers have to contend.; For centuries human ingenuity has ?? been taxed to suppress them, but in spite of innumerable devices in the g? way of traps, poisons, etc., the rat |g has increased in numbers and de- S I structiveness. gs CnnJliDm 1 Vw? iri-f.?itest 9? VU UVUW1V1M xv?* ??.W 0 jpi i damage from rata probably results |? I from the attacks of these pests on || | the corn stored in the crib, although || during periods of food shortage in ?? the crib, bam or house they migrate :? to the fields an dcontinue their atI tacks on either the growing grain or ig : that which has been in the shock for 'g | a considerable length of time. Experiments have shown that a full-grown rat will on an average con- ig sume about eight-tenths of a bushel '? of grain, in a year. With corn at $2 ig per bushel, every full-grown rat is & costing the farmer $1.60 per year for ji his upkeep. However, the loss from !? rats is by no means confined to what ?g they eat. They destroy fully as much || as they consume. In addition to the g damage they do in eating and destroy- gj ing food and feed supplies, the de- || struction of other farm property and g the spread of certain diseases, make B their extermination of still more vital g importance. a While poisons, traps, etc., have been | successfully used in securing tempo- | rary relief from the destructive at- g tacks of this pest, so long as an a- g bundant and unprotected food supply a| and shelter is furnished but little.can | be done toward their permanent sup- || pression. "An abundance of food s| means many young in a litter ana K* many litters in a year; a restricted || supply means fewer young and fewer 5? litters." It, therefore, follows that g by the more extended use of rat-proof & cribs, barns, etc., and the better pro- <| tection of food supplies stored in & buildings that are not rat-proof offer || the best means of lessening the repro- |g duction of these pests and in so doing 1| strikes at the very root of the rat || evil. Of course,. these preventive measures must be supplemented by the use of traps, poisons, etc., to ex- |g terminate the present rat population. |g There is also much to be accom- fa plished by co-operation and organiza- ?2 tion in the work of rat destruction. || While it is quite important that the ag individual farmer actively combat jig this pest, organized efforts by an en- ?8 tire community repeated with reason- || able frequency will be found still more effective. Temporary relief follows as the xetermination of the rats trn the _ farm premises, but a new rat populafjrtr, unll cAnn ho rprrnitoH from near- M VIVII f?III wv?? * by farms.?The Progressive Farmer. 3 1 Boosters Return Home.
