Modern man may never know when rats and mice first left the fields to establish their homes in and near the primitive dwellings of early man. The history of the rat in the last few thousand years is well told; for when man first recorded for posterity the events of importance to himself, he began the written history of the rat. We know today, that from that time on, man has never without his unwelcome associate. The rat has followed the soldier to the battlefield to establish himself as the enemy. It has gone before the reaper to the fields at harvest time and come along to the granaries. It has followed the butcher to the slaughterhouse and helped dispose of refuse. It has sailed with the explorer on his voyages of discovery and has helped to settle new lands. It has lived before us in our new homes and remained when we departed.
