It may be mixed in a dough composed of four parts of meal or flour and one part of poison, or a stiff douwh of cight parts of catmeal and one of poison. The poisoned dougrh may be praced in the runways of the animals. Sirychnine in the form of strychia sulphate is a raipd acting poison for rats. The dry crystals are inserted in bait such as meat or cheese.

He was a cruel prince, and the Jows sent repâ€" resentatives to Rome to oppose his claims. After a long de‘lay, Archelaus was granted his request.

When J first came to this farm I handled it in the usval way. When I began to ask questions of myself, I discovered plans that svit the {farm and suit me better, and make more money, If I see another farmor succeeding by some particular plan, I ask myself why it wouldn‘t work with me. Winter day, frosty day, God a cloak on all doth lay; On the earth, the snow He sheddeth, O‘er the lamb a fleece He sprenadeth, Gives the birds a coat of feathors, Gives the children home and food; Let us praise Him, God is gond. There was a time whon I had thought myso!lf of average intelliâ€" gence, but occasionally 1 almost doubt that, when, after so interrogating myâ€" self, I must, to be honest, reply, "Just bocause 1 did it this way the last time,." For instance, when I ground feed I used to carry the corn so far that I couldn‘t keep the hopper flled, and had to step over the moving helt beâ€" sides. I asked myse!{f why., In about an hour I had cut two doors, set the grinder so it was out of the way when not in use, had it close to the corn, and so the belt didn‘t bother me. Now I can grind a lot of feed and at the same time get all my chores ex#ept same tme get all my chores ex#ept tho milking done. Again, I answered my question by using bigmrer measures for carrying grain and feed, saving me lots of steps. I try to plan my chores to be getting somcthing Jone each way I walk. grinder so it w not in use, h: and so the bel I can grind a same time ge tho milking 3 I have found a question that 1 ask myse!f at least once for every task I tackle on the farm. It has paid me well to inquire of myself from time to time, "Why do I do this job this way ?"
