Show Rl Siiulrrsls Hat Traps. Hero Is a communication that Is going tho rounds of tho agricultural Journals: Homo years ego rats were qui to nnuo lug about our houso nnd barn. Tho red squirrels canio to lho with us. They tot into the house, walls and garrets. We rather enjoyed seeing them and to encouraged their sojourn in the houso. Tho only objection to their prosenco wni their early waking, and they somo-tlraes somo-tlraes found and appropriated tho children's chil-dren's nuts that wcro stored in tlio chambers. After tho squirrels carao tlio rati all left, and ws havo not seen a rat for years, either at tho houso or the barn. Ill no no doubt that tlio sr-uir-relidrototlio ruts away. If this would ork successfully ovcry tlino, then It might pay to introduco and inconrago the presence of rod squirrels about the houso and barn. Three or four squirrels squir-rels about the barn do no harm. Bo far as I luvo tried them I can recommend ted sijulrrela as tho best of rat traps. |
