The rat a Mil of fare Includes nl-
most everything eaten by man. and a
considerable number of things not In-
claded la human dietaries, aa, for In-
stance, carrion, mice, kid gloves. Ivory
and hornet' hoofs.
Among the most common foods of
rata are corn and other grain. If fed
aa grain alone. It to estimated that
ana rat will eat «0 cents worth In a
year, white of oatmeal. It will eon
same 91.90 worth. If we suppose the
■amber of rata In tbe United Btntea
to be equal to the number of horses,
cattle, nheep and hogs. It would cost
■ore than 9100,000,000 a year to board
them on grain.
But the damage done by rats to not
to be measured by what they eat
Through pollution of food products
they do ns much damage as by eat-
ing them. Besides they do great dam-
age by digging under buildings and
embankments, by gnawing woodwork,
but cutting holes In sacks, and by cut-
ting up goods and papers to make
nests. They kill young poultry and
aqua be. They steal eggs. They fre-
quently destroy the nests of wild
MrCi.
Though a serious pest on farm a.
rats commit their greater
tloas la cities. An attempt has been
made to secure from the business men
of Washington. D. C„ estimates of
the wiM* losses due to rats and mice.
The data secured Indicate losses ex-
ceeding 9900,000.
The rapidity with which rats multi-
ply |a the main reason why man np

their destruction. The females give
birth to Urge Utters of young, and
the Intervals between the litters are
short. More than SO young rats have
been found In n single nest, and It Is
aafa to estimate the average litter at
■ore than ten. It has been calculat-
ed that a single pair of rats and their
progeny breeding without interrup-
tion and suffering no losses would In
three years Increase to more than
90.000,000.
The author of this bulletin says
hawks and owls, especially the 1st-
ter. destroy great numbers of rats, s
good work which man should encour-
age. WeaseU, minks and akunks are
also rat destroyers. He recommends
the persistent use of traps and poi-
sons. But he thinks the most prom-
ising lines of effort lie in (1) rat-
proof construction of buildings, espe-
cially the use of concrete In founda-
tions; and (21 reducing the food sup
ply of rats by the disposal of garbage
and the protection of food supplies.
