A CITY RATCATCHER.
A Professional Who Frees
Houses of Rodents. |
His Various Methods of Catching the
i
Nimble Little Pests.
A New York Sun reporter recently visit
cd Mr. Jennings’s place in Centre street.
It is a brick building, with iron bars and
wire netting before doors and windows,
The interior is filled with tiers of cages,
containing small animals and birds of
many kinds that invariably welcome
strangers with noisy unanimity—monkeys
chattering, parrots screeching, dogs bark¬
ing and y el pin < r roosters crowing, and
canaries whistling.
Mr. Jennings laid particular stress upon
the declaration that he was apractical rat
catcher. He denied that he was in the
habit of charming the rats by the power
of his steel-gray eyes. lie said it was ut
terly untrue that he ever enticed rats out
of their holes by peculiar calls or whistles,
and then clubbed them to death. He
doubted the story of the Pied Piper, and
was willing to wager that he could kill
more rats by his practical methods in a
day than Fled Piper could have whistled
to death in a week.
“There are,” said Mr. Jennings, “sev
enty places—hotels and private residen
ces—in this ejty that I keep clear of rats,
1 have scvcriI men, thirty ratters of all
breeds, and twelve white ferrets to help
me. None of the young men who help
me are afraid to handle a rat, no matter
how fierce and big he may be. As for
me, you can see for yourself just how
niuch I fear them.” Whereupon Air.
Jennings opened the lid of a tin lined
box, ran his hand through the animated,
slate-colored mass and scooped up and
turned over a score of lively big fellows,
lie took one of them and placed it under
his shirt next to his bosom. He returned
it to the box after it had nestled there a
minute or two, and continued talking.
i • Ratcatching is done mostly at night.
The ferrets run the rats out of their holes,
and the terriers catch and kill them.
They are sometimes cornered hy the fer¬
rets, which then make short work of
them. Thc ferrets are trained to return
to me, and will come at call, like a dog.
We use many steel traps, and in a place
where the rats are very numerous, myself
and my men catch them with tongs or
with our hands. We sometimes drive
them out of their holes with an obnoxious
smoke into valve traps, through which
they drop into a bag.
“All my best ratters are imported, I
have six English bull terriers that could
not be bought for less than $800. Here,’
leading out two cream-colored dogs from
a kennel on one side of the roome. “are
two of the handsomest animals ever
brought to this country. Did you ever
see finer eyes, more beautiful limbs, and
such a color? They are English terriers
that it would take a pile of money to
_
buy.
“What do I get for my work? Well,
it depends upon thc place I keep free of
rats nnd mice. I charge from $100 to
$200 a year for regular customers.
Among the hotels that employ me are the
Windsor, Murry Hill, Brevoort, West
minster, Victoria, Brunswick, Contiuen
tal. Metropolitan, St. James, Gilsey
House, and the Albemarle.
“I cannot tell you how many times I
have felt the teeth of dogs and rats,” Mr.
Jennings continued, “but I can tell you
that I have never once had a thought of
hydrophobia after being bitten. I be¬
lieve the bite of a rat is in no way dan¬
gerous to those accustomed to handling
rats. I have picked tip as many as sixty
rats an hour at the car stables without re
cciving a scratch. How many rats have
1 caught with my own hands? Millions I
should sav.
The Russian Embassy at Washington.
The Russian government allows more
money for entertainments alone than we
pay our minister to England. The enter
tamments at thc Russian legation have
always surpassed in magnificence any
thing given by the diplomatic corps, with
those of the British minister coming
next. The Russian government allows
its representatives here $25,000 per an
lium to be spent in entertainments.
Five arc given each season at an ex
pense of $5,000 each. A feature of these
e ntertainments during thc term of Raron
de Struve was the immense display of
rare old wines which were placed at the
disposal of the guests, While the Baron
was the most liberal-minded of men, yet
the first person who was under the
slightest influence of liquor was sure to
be reminded of the fact that his room
was more desirable than his company.
And that was not all. The next day lie
would be certain to receive a note ad
dressed to him in the handwriting of the
first secretary recounting his conduct of
the evening before, and stating that,
under the circumstances, in the future,
the Baron would esteem it a favor if he
would cease calling.
Another feature of these entertain
ments was the splendid array of cigars
and Russian cigarettes. Queer stories
are told of the performances of some G {
the impecunious dudes who filled their
overcoat pockets with the choicest cigar
etts before leaving the house. Such
abuse of the baron’s hospitality was not
detected by him,but he had ample means
of fully informing himself had he felt so
disposed .—Boston Traveller.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Fotatoei ns Stock Food.
The potato lias long been used as a
food for our domestic animals, and es¬
pecially in years of great crops, when
their use as human food furnishes but a
partial market. English farmers have
used them as food for various animals.
They are relished by horses, cattle and
s heep in the raw state; but it is not safe
to feed them in this way, except in very
limited quantity. In the raw state they
ar e not well digested, and produce a lax
ative condition of the bowels, and for
this reason a few quarts are beneficial to
the horse medicinally, and the same for
working oxen and cows; but if fed in as
large a quantity as one-half bushel per
day to milch cows, the quantity and
I quality of the milk will be reduced,
j To the pig they are not nutritious in
the raw condition, and are not relished
except two or three at a time. But when
boiled or steamed, the pig eats them
greedily and thrives upon them .—Rural
Acte Yorlcer.
-
: Fattening Hogs.
A warm piggery is an absolute neces
lor profitable swine raising,and good*
j food indispensable if you wish your pigs
1 to enter the spring with a well developed
i frame for laying on fat. If you provide
them with poor shelter and feed them on
slops through the winter, you will find it
a rather unprofitable undertaking. Give
alwa J’9 enough nutritive food to satisfy
the natural appetite and feed at regular
times. It has been too common a notion
that the hogs may he fed anything and
thrive so long as they are stuffed.
Growth is the primary object that should
influence you in the selection of swine
food. Corn will produce fat, but it is
n0 ^ adapted to the best production of
bones and muscles, A variety of food is
relished by these animals, and they will
show their appreciation of a judicious se¬
lection by laying on fat and muscle and
increasing their frames proportionately.
Not only this, but if furnished the ma¬
terials they will produce a quick action
and valuable manure. This is very rich
m nitrogen and contains a generous per
cent, of phosphate; it is also nearly as
,astill 8 il its effects as cow manure.
“Releasei” In Transportation of Live
Stock.
The express companies and the railroad
companies have the right to refuse to
I carry live stock which they may regard
as having a “fancy” or fictitious value
put upon it. As common carriers they
are bound to receive and transport ordi
nary chattels, and to exercise due dili
gence and care that whatever they take
is carefully and properly handled, If
they fail in this, they are responsible
The “Release” which they often require
shippers of live stock to sign, is a de¬
vice to prevent litigation in case of death
or injury to the stock. The “permission
granted the shipper “to transport iu their
cars and boats, or in those used by them”
certain fowls or animals, as though the
company had nothing to do with it, is a
pure fiction and of no weight in reliev¬
ing the company from their responsibility
as common carriers. If there is no way
offered for shipping the fowls or animals
except by signing such a release, the
has still less force. If, how
ever, the company say, as many do: we
will take thc responsibility of safe trans
portation for surh a price, and for so
much less if released from all responsibil¬
ity, then the release so-called, has a gen¬
uine basis in good faith .—American Ag

Some people attempt to keep pot
plants without giving them any water at
all, the result is familiar to every one.
Usually, however, the earth iu the pot
or box is kept soaked and very much in
j the condition of an ordinary swamp. It
! eve n said that malaria has resulted
from living in roonts containing house
I P' ants > owing to the damp soil. IVe
have ourselves seen dead evergreens
pulled out of boxes full of mud. A gar
dener's journal gives utterance to the fol
lowing tim remark: Watering plants
is one ot *- h ’° ni0St important things in
thc culture of house plants, and rpry sp e -
rial cm ahould be devoted to it.
fej 'fffl Ufitii they need if
:
It -will be evident that they require wet¬
ting, if on taking the earth from the pot
it crumbles to pieces like dust; a
sign is to knock on the side of the pot,
near the middle, with the finger knuckle.
If it gives forth a hollow ring, the plant
needs water; if there is a dull sound,
there is still moisture enough to sustain
the 1 plant. Plants must not be wet more
than .. once or twice . • a day, , on diy, 1 , deal 1 .
days they require more -ter than mt
damp, cloudy days. On the other hand,
the earth must not be allowed to dry out
entirely, •” for that is also very / injurious.
In wetting them the water must , , >c
poured on in such a way that it will run
out again ® through the hole in the bottom
of , the pot. If the , earth , gets too , dry, , it .,
*
ts . , best to place , the ., pot . in . water , so that
the water will saturate the dirt very
gradually. They may be watered at any
hour of the day, except when the sun is
shining on the pot or has just left it; for
the ., earth gets . i hot . when i the sun cbir.no shines nn on
it, and then if cold water is poured on
it it will cool off too rapidly. The best
time for watering flowers in summer is

A correspondent of the London Agri¬
cultural Ornette lias had good success in
feeding boiled grain in connection with
chopped fodder. Turnips and the ruta¬
bagas he does not like, but uses them up
to Christmas, or before they become
frosted. After Christmas, the writer
says, where mangolds are grown they
may be used without stint; but it must
be borne in mind that they produce a
, lot . ol t poor ~ . m..k -it al therefor* n c *t, Ihe A core
should he increased.
In relation to the feeding of roots the
writer states, as the Tribune has hereto
fore done, that they have little nntri
ment and should only be used in the
United States to assist digestion and as
forming succulent food, much needed in
winter. The English . method ., , of , feeding , fa
cooked food is . described . as follows:
Wc, "nave our cows entirely under cover
or in the yards, for the warmer they a».
kent aept thp me 1 less p«s joou fnnH thpv tney want want .inrl aim th tn^ -
more milk they will give. Wc give no
hay-barley and oat straw are cut into
chaff about an inch long. Then, again,
we go little to market, but convert all
our second-rate corn into suitable food to
mix with the chaff. Wheat or barley is
boiled—they may be mixed or used
separately. Put five bushels to about 100
gallons of cold water and boil till the
corn will mash if squeezed in the fingers,
then spread chaff enough for a day’s al¬
lowance for your cows, and put in the
boiled corn while hot and mix. We find
five bushels sufficient each day for about
forty cows when roots are plentiful; or,
if oats are used, they should he crushed.
We find these valuable for milk. Of all
green foods I like cabbage, and we man¬
age so as to keep a supply all through the
winter.
In the United States the cooking of
food for stock is little practiced, and
careful experiments have not shown its
economy, except for hogs and in the
case of sick animals. But for dairy cows
the experiment in England is valuable,
and it might be well to experiment with
the cooking of ear corn, either hy water
in a large caldron, or by the direct action
of hot steam in water .—Chicago Trie

A Devon Green-Grocer.
The green-grocer’s was a roomy shop,
always deliciously fragrant, redolent of
herbs and some spices, 1 ’ and presided over
. by a good-humored , , man and his wife,
who had a very distinct love of their call
ing, Mrs. B- cultivating certain vegc
tables in her strip of garden back of the
shop, and being thc very first person in
town to display bunches of primroses or
have good “sea-kale.” Likewise to be
observed in Mr. B- was the difference
in his manner when you bought his potu
toes or greens, and when, in his second
calling of waiter, he handed you your
soup or pudding at the small winter din
ner parties given in town. In the shop
he was affably discursive, touching the
onions or greens with a careless hand and
free, light-hearted manner. At a dinner
table ho was curiously solemn, and occa
sionally looked as though he defied any
one present to suggest that his name
hung over a shop in the High Street,
f The fart that he sold you potatoes for
twopence a pound wa# never to be con
founded with the ether more imposing
fact that for five shillings an evening, at
tired in an irreproachable C'-Rmie, he
j waited on select dinner parties among the
sma llcr gentry of the place. When the
j real spring began to show itself, the little
green-grocery had an inxchaustibtefascin
' ation for me. The garden was so spoilta
neously gay and flourishing, and its one
bit of warm southern wall so early stood
hung with blossoms, and B-- and his
wife, moving about toward sunset among
| the small garden beds and modest vines,
were such pictures of honest, homely con
