MICE IN HAY STACKS.
HOW TO KEEP THEM OUT.A successful method of keeping mice out of hay stacks is to enclose the stack j with a fence of galvanised iron, either I plain or corrugated, about 2ft. high. Let I the iron into the ground to a depth of Jin., and place it into a slanting position, pointing outwards from the stack, all round it, taking care to leave no open space at the corners; it will be found impossible for mice to enter a stack thus protected. If it should be found that mice are troublesome in the stack, poison • with arsenic dissolved in water. Placo dishes of the solution all round the stack; if it will not entirely eradicate the pest, it will, at imy rate, help to keep it in check.;
