A WONDERFUL COLLECTION OF RAT TRAPS A writer In tho current Issue of Farm and Fircsldo tells about the Importance of killing rats, which, as overybedy knows, aro carriers and distributors of germs injurious to j human beings. Ho tolls about visit j lng a United States government bu- ireuu chief's ofllco In Washington in which Is stored n great collection of rat traps made by various Inventors. Following Is an extract: "Thero wore rat traps of wire, of wood, of glass ot copper, of tin; rat traps that looked like self binders, rat traps that looked like telescopes. rat traps that looked like diving bells, and one that looked liko a cat apult such as tho ancients used to batter down tho wnlls of tho besieg ed city. Tho biggest rat trap thoro could easily havo been used to catch a baby elephant, and tho smallest could almost havo been carried around In a thlmblo. Tho biggest ono, which was tho catapult affair wound up with a key and was oper ated by a hugo spring. Tho theory" on which It oporatod was that when ia rat touched off tho trigger ho turn tho thing looso, and a big swinging cast Iron arm landed on his head, killed him Instantly and Incidental ly pitched hire into tho mlddlo ot next week. Tho exports In chargo said that thcro was only ono trou blo with this trap, and that was that Its efficacy deponded upon securing tho entlro co-operation ot tho rat. A rat endowod with tho Intellect, say ot Herbert Spencer could prob ably have succeeded by diligent an H plication In gottlng himself killed by I th0 contraption. No rat that was less than an Intellectual marvel, and that in addition was not positively bent on suicide, could possibly havo been Injured by the contrivance." MENDON NEWS Mondon, Nov. 11. W. O.

MIGHT RAI8E TEN TIME8 A8 MUCH CORN A8 WE DO In tho current lsuo ot Farm and Firosldo a contributor writes about tho Ideal corn crop that Is, If every producer worked scientifically and took advantago of every opportunity After telling about Jerry Moore, tho flftcenryear-old Southern boy who won a prize for raising about 225 bushels to the acre, tho author goes on to say: "Did you over tako the troublo to flguro out with pencil and paper Just what a corn crop should bo7 "If tho hills aro three and a half feet apart, thero would be (In round numbers) 3,500 of them. Each hill I should havo threo stalks, and each I stalk throo cars. Again In round I numbers, this would glvo 30,000 ears I to each aero of land. Now, a mod- B erato car ot dent corn weighs ten I ounces. Thus we havo 300,000 ounc- I os or 18,760 pounds of corn. It takes I about seventy poundB of dried corn I on the cob to mako a bushel.

How do you like to -mH think that yon raise only one kern el where you should have ten? Does not this little problem In arithmetic make you alt up and think? Do you wait to believe that fifteen-year-old Jerry Mooro can do what you can not?
