One of the best poisons rats is barium carbonate. Herewith are in structions as to its use to rid the farm of these pests: I. Kind of Bait: Three or more kinds of bait should be used. Each must be mixed separately with bar ium carbonate. One kind of bait from each of the following classes should be used. (a) Fish meat or other animal sub stance, such as Hamburg steak, sau sage, canned salmon, eggs or oysters. (b) Fresh fruit or vegetable food; such as cantaloupe, tomatoes, green com, baked sweet potatoes, bananas, etc. (c) Miscellaneous foods, milk or cheese, peanut butter, bread, cake, cereals (raw or cooked). II. How to Mix: The barium car bonate must be thoroughly mixed with the bait, so that the rats cannot eat the smallest portion of the bait with out getting some of the barium car bonate. In the case of such substances as Hamburg Steak, cheese, etc., use ohe part of barium carbonate to 4 parts of bait. Mix thoroughly with a spoon. (a) Substances which cannot be thoroughly mixed with the barium carbonate as just described (for ex ample, cantaloupes, tomatoes, etc.) should be cut into small pieces and thoroughly covered with barium car bonate, and then worked with a knife. III. How to Set Poison: The three kinds of bait, prepared as above should be divided into small portions, about a teaspoonful each and placed freely about premises, alternating baits 1, 2, 3. It should be set at inter vals, not over ten or fifteen feet. Do Not Mix the Different Kind of Bait with Each Other. IV. General Instruction: The morn ing after baiting, look for dead rats and remove them. Take up baits. Ex amine these to see which have at tracted most rats. If any kind of bait has not been touched, use a different bait instead of this. Fresh bait must be used each night.

C., Nov. 28.—The care ful driver will protect the radiator of his car against winter weather;, the man not so careful will let nature teach him a costly lesson. “Protecting the radiator will pro tect the motor against freezes and the anti-freezing mixtures are easily obtained and used," says A. T. Hol man, agricultural engineer at State College. “Among the various mix tures, that of alcohol and glycerine is most commonly used. In fact, makers of automobiles recommend this com bination. It is desirable to clean the radiator before filling with the anti freezing solution.” Mr. Holman advises draining out all the old water and flushing with a hose allowing the water to run in while the engine is running. If the radiator is clogged or dirty, it may be cleaned by filling with a solution made by using one and one-half cups of washing soda to two gallons of water. Fill the radiator with this solution and run the motor for 15 minutes. Then drain off and wash with clean water until the soda water is all removed. Flush again while the motor is run ning. The radiator is now ready to be fill ed with the anti-freezing solution. For the usual four gallon radiator, a solu-* tion made of 3 1-4 quarts of alcohol, 3 1-4 quarts of glycerine and 9 1-2 quarts of water will protect the motor and radiator at zero weather. If glyc erine is not readily obtainable, a so lution of four parts of alcohol to six parts of water will protect at freez ing point. For temperatures ranging between 20 degrees and 32 degrees Fahrenheit a twenty percent solution of alcohol and water made by using two parts of alcohol to eight parts of water will be found sufficient to pro tect the car.

Some day the jury may call it manslaughter. "3; Don’t speed around corners, for it’s a straight route to the hospital. “4. Drive on the right side of the road. It’s the only safe ’side. “5. The fact that you had the right of way won’t bring anybody back to life—least of all yourself. Use discretion. 6. Do not stop short without giving warning. The other fellow is no mind reader. : ing to the rear. “8. Do not park or pass on curve or hill. There’s plenty of straight
