This admits the most economial, a* wall as the simplest plan in the world for the oure and prevention of diseases jncident,t6 farm stock. By its use the farmer can secure the health of bis stock at the rate of J 4 per head per annum. In all large Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pro paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purpose of thoK Horticulturist; and it is most extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener in Europe, America, and the British possessions in all parts of the Globe. . Quo packet dissolved in two buckets of water will serve for over half an acre of ground and will effectually prevent blight and exclude all other garden pests. As a Terrain Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily exterminate, all household pests, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in fore, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose nmpli and plain direc ions are given on every packet. The powder can also be used in A’ dry state for the destruction of rats and mice. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread and butter, or a piece of meat or cheese is sought after greedily by those vermin,; while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not toush it in any form, end ere. therefore perfectly safe. . .. xt ' , _ s,!."'
