now to Control ' Rats Is Problem Temporary Measures Include Use of Poisons, Traps and Gases. ■ 'Prepared bv the United State* Department of Agriculture.* Rats cause losses amounting to not I less than $200,000,000 each year In the j United States, according to the biolog- ' leal survey of the United States Department of Agriculture. This enorj mous damage occurs in homes, stores . ! ind factories, and to a large extent on farms. Temporary Measures. ’ Temporary measures of rat control ■ include the use of poisons, traps and deadly gases. These devices merely eliminate the animals for a short time and do not-Tn any way prevent others I from reinfesting premises. Neverthei less, temporary measures are the first consideration in dealing with the rat ; problem. Permanent control consists primarily in depriving rats of oue or both their necessities of andI shelter. Attention to such community j rat-breeding places as garbage dumps and city abattoirs will keep down the rat population. Every community in- : terested in preventing disease epidemics that may possibly be spread byrats should make it a point to provide for proper maintenance of dumps and similar places for garbage and refuse disposal. Changes in the construction of buildings can be effected . to make them rat proof, and building codes of cities and towns can require rat-proof construction. Effective Poisons. Barium carbonate and red squill are effective poisons for the temporary eradication 01 rats. Barium carbonate has neither taste nor odor It is mixed with various foods and. if pre ~ pared as recommended, is usually Effective. Red squill has an advantage in being relatively harmless to animals other than racs If taken accidentally ~y cats or dogs it acts as a i powerful emetic and is thus eliminated. A small quantity of red squill i will kill » rat, however, and it is j therefore ai> ideal poison for use on i farms and sh many places in townslor cities vhere there may be dan ger of poisoning beneficial animals. Calcium-cyanide fumigant has been widely and effectively used to kill rats that live in burrows in the ground,. ; under concrete, or In other inaccessible places. It comes in powder form ami is applied witt a duster or blower. When tl e dus - conies ’n contact with air it forms a poisonous’ gas. j Calcium cyanide is a deadly poison ; aud should be kep out of reach of ! children, irresponsible persons, and live stock. , Feeding Milk to Laying Stock Increases Yield Liberal feeding of milk to laying stock will help to increase the egg yield and improve the quality anG size of the eggs. Fertility and hatchability of the eggs will likewise be improved. i Milk feeding helps to keep fowls healthy and to prevent disease 1e 11X14-05 Dr. Louis Dechmanti demonstrated that the mineral content of I eggs could be increased, and made more desirable from a medical viewpoint by feeding the desired minerals in finely triturated form, mixed with milk curd, to the laying fowls. W. McA Johnson, chemist and meiallur- s ■ ! gist, has also pointed out that the rare mineral content of eggs may be en- ; Danced by feeding the fowls finely powdered minerals rubbed up in warmI fresh milk and in milk curd. Also, he states, as Doctor Dechmann claimed, that “medicated eggs” are possible and that we may expect them 1 soon. In experimental work tn feeding minerals to growing chicks, milk, milk curd, and milk powder have , proved the best mediums for feeding the powdered minerals. So milk and milk products not only help keep poultry healthy and productive, bui may be the means of introducing medicinal elements into eggs which, in a very agreeable manner of administration, may help to prevent or cure diseaseI and keep hufhan beings in good health. t Agricultural Notes ❖ Something is wrong if young chicks are not active. • • • j Gardening keeps down the cost ofliving on the farm. It’s no longer just a job. • • • Liquid skim milk is. recommended tor young chicks. in place of water : during the first week. • ♦ • Carbolineum. cresute, or crude carbolic aciu make the best spray material to use in poultry houses to keep down red mites. • • • It is better to feed silage to dairy cows once a day over a longer period than to feed it twice a day for a shorter time if no other succulent feed can be had. 'I To disinfect a brooder house, scrub I the floor and side walls with a strong solution of hot lye (one pound of lye to 40 gallons of water), using a stiff broom. When the floor and walls are dry, drench them with a strong dis- ' infectant—3 per cent creolin or lysoL Treat the fixtures in the same manner. Hogging Down Corn It pays to hog down corn, but not iso well if you don’t give the hogsj tankage and minerals on the side. ■ Tests have shown that even when soy beans have been planted in the corn, or the hogs have the run of clover or alfalfa, they still need tankage—and minerals always. “Let them help, themselves to the tankage in a selffeeder,” says Professor Evvard of the > lowa college. But skim milk or buttermilk will do as well and is not «o» exnens
