PSSD -WS^.; T7URMERS 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 ny very great destruction of the pest. It is important that Chaff be mixed with the Poisoned Wheat, and if a littl Salt) is added at the Hme of spreading it will be taken with great avidity.: 111 ASHBURTON MUG
