IMPORTANT TO Grain Growers/ I I BEG to ercfl the attention of Farmers and Grain Producarß to my new method of poisoning Wheat for the destruction of small birdß. In former years the polaoned grain supplied from varlona souroea had some serioua defeotß, which I olaim to hava eutlrely obviated m my new and patented process. By the oU method, fmmediately the Wheat begins to grow, the poison Is absorbed aud beoomea useless. Whole Wheat dooß not > absorb tjie polaon beyond the outer akin or blab arid a few showers of rain waahos It off. I have Imported a machine at con- siderable coat for splitting the wheat berry along the orease and removing tho germ, which, of courße, prevents germi- nation, thus preserving the lull strength of the polaon when applied. ••*■• The Wheat prepared by my process absorbs the Btrychnlrie through the floury portions of the berry after it is split and degermed, and as the birds are known to reject the outer husk and eat only the inside, the poiaon oanuct fail to be effeotive. Seoonda of Wheat contain so many foreign seeds, such aa combine, sorrel, dock weeds, &0., which blrdß never touch, that it is expensive, and a waate of strychnine to uae it na has biiberto been dona The small and withered grains la ae oonda cannot possibly absorb eufficlent polaon to make It of any value, and much m j ary Is done to the land In the dissemination of noxloua weeds. ~ I shall ■)B pleased to show samples of Wheatjas it cornea from the machine and after poieonfng, and explain fully the Improve- ments In my process to all who take aa latoreat m grain growing.
