TjIARMERS are advised to retain a portion of their POISONED WHEAT for laying during September, October, and the early part of November. Birds ! eat it greedily during the hatching season. The past winter has been much too open, and consequently unfavorable for any very great destruction of the pest. Ifc is important that Chaff be mixed with the Paisoned Wheat, and if a littl Sale is added at the time of spreading it will be taken with great avidity. HE ASHBURTON DRUG
