Rat Is Estimated at $2 la
Efficient Germ Carrie,',
(Prepared by the United Stales Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The necessity of a campaign of un
varying efllclency against the common
brown rat, Is an outstanding one. No
other animal or Insect Is ho dangerous
and persistent an enemy, and no other
enemy succeeds In Inflicting the dam
age that the rat annually Imposes upt-
on humanity. The rat population of
the United States Is at least equal to
the human population, and the same
ratio holds true for practically every
country under the sun. The bureau
of biological survey. United States
Department of Agriculture, places tlio
value of the food and property de
stroyed annually by ouch Individual
rnt at $2. Keeping well within the
boundaries of conservatism this means
thnt each year, In this country alone,
we prodtico $1!00,000,000 worth of food
to no other purpose than to feed our
rats. In nnother way, 200,000 men In
the United States are devoting all
their Inbor to the maintenance of 100,
000,000 rats.
Is Efficient Germ Carrier.
Hut the rodent's enmity Is far from
being satisfied by this huge economic
Injury. A frequenter of all the places
that are vllo and loathsome, the rat
Is a most clllclent genu carrier. The
germs of the dreaded "black death"
have killed moro human beings than
all the wars of the world's history,
and these germs are Introduced Into '
the humnn system by the bite of n I
rat Ilea. In lndln, no longer ago than
1800, the bubonic plague killed 9,000,
000 persons. In Europe, during the
Fourteenth century, It Is believed to
havo brought death to 25,000,000 hu
mnn beings. Other diseases, almost
as dreadful, are traced to the common
rat. Thus, from the standpoint of
public health, as well as from the ne
cessity of controlling tlio drain upon
the public purse, It la essential thnt
the rat bo exterminated. Once the ex
termination Is complete, or as nenrly
so as modern methods will permit, ev
ery precaution must be taken to pre
vent the rat from multiplying and re
gaining lost ground.
Exterminating Plans.

and systematically nt all rat-Infested

destruction of tho rat, community or
civic orjMiilzntlon Is of the greatest
Importance. It does no good to drive
tho nits from one cellur Into the next
If they aro allowed to breed un
molested In their new quarters. When
the campaign Is made general the pest
Is nllowed no rest and no opportunity
to Intrench In a new position. If ono
pair of rats Is left they reproduce tho
original number In a little while, us
rats breed live or six times n year
with an average of ten to the litter.
In connection with the extermina
tion campaigns, preventive measures
Miould he employed against the rodent,
First among these Is the protection of
all food supplies. This Is of prime
Importance. The removal and destruc
tion of refuse Is the next step In pre
vention, as abandoned dumps and lrfles

shelter and food for tho rats time have
been driven from the houses and col

All buildings should ho rntproofitl

and It should be npplled to older build

With tho food supply locked away
from him, and his shelter gone, starva
tion and eiposuru will add to the ef
fectiveness of work with trapi and
poisons and the menace of the rat will
cease to be a real hazard against
American lives and property.

HENS WITHOUT WHEAT
GIVE GOOD RESULTS
More Eggs Obtained From Pen
of Rhode Island Reds.
Mash Containing Only 15 Per Cent
Meat Scrap Gave Very Satisfac
tory Results Experiment
ing With Green Feeds.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
L'oultry-feeding experiments con
ducted by the United Slates Depart
ment of Agriculture, last fiscal year,
show that practically ns good results
can be obtained without wheat us with
It In n ration. The Rhode Island Iteds,
In the wheatless pen, averaged 140
eggs, while those In the pen receiving
wheat averaged 134 eggs. Good results
were obtained with the use of garbage
until the warm weather began, when
there was considerable mortality, duo
apparently to the garbage spoiling.
This work Is being repeated this year
with much moro satisfactory results,
the garbage being fed In a trough on
a largo wooden feeding board, which
prevents It from getting on the ground
and decaying.
In the use of vegetable proteins the
relative order of production Is the

same as It was Inst year. No success
has followed tin attempt to substitute
completely vegetable protein for ani
mal protein. The ration used Inst
year, a mash containing only 15 per
cent meat scrap as compared with 20
to 25 per cent In the ordinary mashes,
gave very satisfactory results with the
heavier breeds, especially the Ply
mouth Itocks, In keeping the birds In
good physical condition and fertility,
though the egg yield was not quite
so good as wheji the higher per cent
of meat scrap was used.
Now experiments were begun during
the year with green feeds, comparing
alfalfa meal with sprouted oats and
comparing these rations with ono In
which vegetables wero supplied. While
none of these green feeds have shown
marked Increased production over any
other, tlio results have emphasized the
Importance and value of that form of
food when given In a variety.

ADVICE ON PUNTING TREES
Bulletin Issued by the American For.

The American Forestry association,

president of the association, In which
are set forth Instructions as to the se
lection of the best kinds of trees, how
to secure them, prepare them, plant
and care for them( and he adds a pro
gram for the ceremony of planting.
This bulletin may be had for the ask
ing. And, says Mr. Pack :

Walnut Has Many Advantages.
Walnut Is a good tree to plant
along highways, because It grows Its
branches high, which lets In the sun
and allows the rapid drying out of the
road, it Is Immune to fungous dis

or two caterpillars, Insects will leave
It alone.
On account of Its peculiar taste
