MICE IN HAY STACKS.
HOW TO KEEP THEM OUT. A successful method of keeping mice out of a hay stack is to enclose the stack with a fence of galvanised iron, either plain or corrugated, about 2ft high. Let the iron into the ground to a depth of four inches, and place it in 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. Place dishes of the solution all round the stack"; if it will not entirely eradicate the pest it will, at any rate, help to»keep it in check.
