SUFFERS A PLAGUE OF MICE
Region About Adelaide, South Aus¬
tralia, Infested—Diseased Ro¬
dents Fall In Water.
Adelaide, South Australia.—This re¬
gion is suffering from a plague of
mice. A resident of Adelaide, who re¬
cently made a tour In the Yorke’s Pe¬
ninsula district, records that “mice
constitute one of the chief topics of
conversation throughout the peninsula.
One man told me that every morning
he skims about 300 off the water in
his underground stock tank. Another
on opening the top of his drill a few
mornings since found some of the
feed pipes choked, and approximately
400 mice in the seed box. The stacks
of wheat at different places present
a deplorable appearance owing to the
ravages of the little rodents. Grain is
running down the sides in all direc¬
tions, and it is practically impossible
to move a bag without disturbing a
dozen or more of the brown-coated
burrowers. The wtiat dumpers kill
hundreds with their bare hands, and
tie string around the bottoms of their
pants to prevent invasion from be¬
low. It is safe to say that the wheat
merchants have suffered considerable
’osses in the shape of eaten and spoilt
grain.”
According to a Koolunga correspon¬
dent the mice in that district have
lately been showing 6igns of disease,
and sores are breaking out on the
hands and arms of the men engaged
In transporting wheat, presumably
through contact with bags and other
things over which the diseased ro¬
dents have been running. In several
Instances people have had their sup¬
plies of domestic water rendered un¬
fit for consumption owing to the mice
drowned in the tanks.
