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. Where the Mine Was.

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 riculurist.

I tutrrlmt l'lanta. 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.

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 hunt.

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.
