Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 May 1917 — Bacon as Bait. [ARTICLE]

Bacon as Bait.

“We find baiting our mouse trap with bacon is a great advantage over using cheese,” advises a woman known as a good housekeeper. “Not only does the cheese become dry in a few days, but after a mouse has once been caught with a piece of ' it you can seldom use it a second time, for it seems to retain the mouse scent and scares the rest of them away. “Bacon, on the other hand, remains savory and enticing to the end. Never has our mouse trap been so popular Since we first baited ours with bacon, about two months ago, we have not changed it once, and I am sure in that time more than twenty mice have been caught in the trap."
