A Rat Exterminator.

A subscriber of Reliable Poultry Journal suggests the following to rid the premises of rats: Make a small tin trough closed at one end. Insert this trough, closed end first, in the rat hole, leaving the other end exposed. Pour about a teaspoonful of chloride of sulphur or sulphuric acid Into the trough, then three or four teaspoonfuls of ammonia water and stop the hole up with a rag or anything that is convenient, ▲wait results with a stick. The rats will run out of the hole In about ten seconds after the operation in a very tired condition. They are easily killed, as they cannot run either fast or far after the dose.
