fP P f oisoneJLJ Wheal« j "T7IARMERS 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 ,H me of spreading it will be taken with great avidity. THE ASHBURTON DRUG
