Destroying Rats 
I low can I get rid of rats, which con¬ 
tinually annoy us by running in between 
the walls and ceilings at night? I have 
tried setting traps in the cellar ami attic 
without success. I have also used poi¬ 
sons. but have not. succeeded in catching 
any. F. k.

We have much the same problem, and 
find it very difficult to clean out the rats. 
We have one or two good cats. They 
have learned where the rats cuter the 
rooms, and lie in wait for the vermin— 
getting many of them. We have also 
tried one of the forms of "rat virus." 
These substances are supposed to spread 
a. disease among the rats. They worked 
with us, but a new breed or strain seemed 
to come in from the outside to repopuiate 
the house. Several well-trained cats 
make the best army of defense we know

Right of Way Over Other’s Land 
We have bought n farm with a neigh¬ 
bor adjoining owning a house and lot 
opening on the highway, having been al¬ 
lowed as a neighborly net by others who 
have owned this place to cross our land 
by way of our driveway, which leads to 
our barns, leaving this driveway and 
driving across our lawn to their house. 
Perhaps they do not drive over more than 
once or twice a week, but family walks 
across every day. not even enough travel 
to make a track, even though they have 
been allowed for about 20 years. Now 
they claim they have had it long enough 
to claim the right of way. They now 
want to claim this portion of land of 
mine, which is about one-fourth acre, for 
their driveway, which I would like to 
plow and set out to trees. The travel 
comes in our driveway on a dangerous 
curve, endangering the lives of our chil¬ 
dren, and one nearly killing my w ife when 
she stepped out of our back door, as we 
have no show whatever when they drive 
through with rigs, or autos, or oven large 
trucks. Should 1 be responsible for dam¬ 
ages and the upkeep of roads for this 
kind of traffic? If these people cannot 
claim (his right of way, what proceed¬ 
ings car 1 start to keep them off? Can 
I chain off' this driveway, or pul a fence 
up between our land and theirs, and keep 
them otT that way. as that would also 
stop their chickens? They will not allow 
us tti put up a fence, and allow their liens 
to run in our barn and on our land, 
which is a great nuisance. g. e. 
New' York. 
The courts have held that a proscrip¬ 
tive right of way over another's land can¬ 
not he acquired without showing the def¬ 
inite line of travel, and a right of way 
cannot lie acquired where there was no 
pretense of keeping it in a particular 
truck. No right of way across another’s 
land is acquired by the user of the way 
maintained by the owner for his own 
convenience. There must be an adverse 
user aud the claim of right. If you be¬ 
lieve that this land is yours, there is no 
reason why you cannot plow it up or put 
up a fence, and it might be well for you 
to fence off this particular land in order 
to assert your ownership, even if you 
again permit them to use it. n. t.
