As a general\nthing, the     traps arc cages in which\na Mumlbcr     of rats may be caught at\nonce.\".   One of the principal essentials\nof    success is t0' know how to bait a\ntrap.     Mr.     JPa\\om.rius has made a\nstudy of this     (branch of the sub-cct,\nand has found, after repeated cxpen,\nments, a bait that works like a charm\nFew rats can be fo^nd that icsist its\ntempting     persuasiveness.        By   the\nuse of this bait he says he has caught\nas many     as twenty-live rats in one\nIrUp. and vthat in two traps he placed\nside by    side he has captured as many as     forty-three.

His bauds  are full or  rat\ncatching at\" the     zoo,  and he cannot.\ndevote his services to other fields, although he freely gives advice.\nHe states,     for instance, that rats\nalways seek water.     Sometimes they\n\\vill gi'iaw water pipe to obtain dr ,nk\ntherefore-    Air.   Pavonanus   counsels,\nplace the traps in the vicinity of wa-\ntei.   Remove    all traps  in the morning,     >v.helner empty or not      Keep\nfrom    the traps the scent that esery\nanimal   lecogni\/.es as   coming from a\nhuman     body.     Tims is impaitcd to\ntraps through handling.     \\Uicu, handl\nling the trap use old gloves,  and  al-\nwa\\s     use the same glomes.   Do not\nsmoke a tiap.
