GRISTING done for Farmers by return ; good FLOUR guaranteed WHEAT for GRISTING may be de'ivedat the Triangle Bakery usua). BRAN and SHARPS m Stock: IMPOKTAIST TO / Grain Growers^ XBEG to call the retention of Farmers and Grain Producers to my new method of poisoning Wheat for the dentructfon of sm^ll tkde. In former yours the poisoned grain BuppMedfrom various simrces had soma serious defects, which I. claim to have entirely obviated la my new and patented prccaea. . . . By the old method, immediately the Wheat bogina to grow, the poison' I 3 absorbed and becomrs useless. Whole Wheat does not absorb : the poison beyond the outef skin or bran and a few showers of rain washes it off. I havo imported a machine at con- siderable coat for splitting the wheat berry along the crease and removing th germ, which, of courßo, prevents germi- nation, thus preserving the full strength of .the pnisou when applied. The Wheat prepared by ray process abßorl s the strychnine through the floury portions of the berry after it is split and de^ermed, and as the birds are known to rt-ject tho outer husk aad eat only the inside, the poison oaruiGt fail to be effective. Seoonda of Wheat contain so many foreign aeeda, Buch as combine, sorrel, dock weeds, &c, which birda never touch, that it is expensive, and a waste of I etrychnlne to use it as haß hitherto been done. The small and withered grains m seconds cannot possibly absorb sufficient poiaon to m»ke it of any value, aad much injary la done to the land m the dissemination of noxlons weeds. I shall be pleased 1 1 rhow sample* of Wheat as it cornea from the machine and after poisoning, and explaiu fully the improve- ments m my process to all who take an interest m grain growing. J. M.
