At a time when grain and foodstuffs generally rule high in price, tho annual loss through depredations of rate is a serious matter. Still more serious, however, is the known fact that- rats are distributors of certain diseases, therefore a steady war of extermination should ever be waged against the vagrant rodent. At Auckland, however, rats are more numerous than was tho case a year or two ago, especially in some of the suburbs. The c'ty sanitary office -s are exercising the greatest care in the matter, and the crusade against rats is_ being vigorously prosecuted.
