Apnual Loss of $360,000,000 in United States, Rats, mics, flies, mosquitos, and the various forms of body pdrasites have always been held in contempt and disgust, and always and "every- where: have been regarded as ver- min. Growing knowledge of the im- portant role played by these lower fornes of animal life in the transmis- sion of disease is ample justification for this feeling. They are ingly expensive. The Journal of the American Me- dical association comments on a re- cent article in the Farm and Fireside, which disgusses the amount of dam- | age done in this country by rats, and estimates that there are in the Unit- ed States at least 300,000,000 of these animals, alike destructive to property and dangerous to health. Rats are said to destroy $100,000,- 000 worth of grain every year in this country, or enough to feed one hen for every man, woman, and child in the nation. The annual cost of rats to the nation is estimated at $360,000,000. In addition, the rat population of the country forms a fertile fleld for the dissemination of bubonic plague, which only needs a starting point in any of our seaports tb spread throughout the country and cause the loss of thousands of lives. ° In the same issue of the Farm and Fireside, but in a different depart- ment, appears an article on the cat- tle tick, in which it is estimated that the difference between the mar- ket value of an animal free from this parasite and one infested with it is about $8 a cow, and that the cattle tick is today costing the stockmen of the country<$1,000,000,000 each de- cade, or $100,000,000 each year.
