Bp the c>H mefchod, Jmmsdiately the Wheat begins to grow, the poison ia absorbed asid becomea useless. Whole Wheat does not absorb the poison beyond the outer ekiu or bran and a fuw ahowera of i-*ia washes it off, I have impo:ted a maohine at con- aiderablo cost for splitt'ng the : wheat berry along the creasa* nnd removing the i»ersa, of coqjbo, preveats germl- natu-n, thus presetvlcg the lull strength of the pcigon when applied/ Tha Wheat prepared by my prooeaa abeorhß ths strychnine fchrongh the floary r octiony of the berry after it ia split and d^crmadj and aa tha birds are known to njact the onfsr husk and eat" only the inside, tha poison oacar.t fail to be effaotivo. Seconds cf Wheat contain so many foreign aeeds, such as combine, oorre), dock weeds, &c, whloh birds never touch, that it Is expensive, and a waste of stryjhnine to uae it as h*3 hitherto been done. The small and withered grains la seconds cannot possibly absorb sufficient poison to mske it of any value, and much ir ; jary is done to the land m the dissemination of noxious weeds. I shall be pleased t ) show samples of Wheat as it cornea from the machine and aftet poisoning, and explain fully the improve- ments m tuy process to all who take »a interest m grain growing. J. M.
