THE BLACKBIRD AND THE SPARROW.

In a recent issue a paragraph appeared i regarding a dead blackbird that had been picked up by Mr R. Patterson on his firm at the Forks. The black bird's crop was found I to be full of poisoned wheat, proving that m extremity the blaekbhd is no* averse to hard grain as food. Fro » Longbpach we gather that, the black bird is certainly a wheat eater, only be prefers it after it has sprouted, and when the ycung plant is just coming through the soil. Where blackbirds are numerous they do immense damage m the wheat fields at thi3 stage ; and Mr Fred Powell, the well-known manufacturer of "Sparrow Poath," knowing them to be most destruc tive birds to grain m this stage, has devoted his attention to prfparing poisoned grain specially suited to their tasteß. Ke has pick' d up from six to forty dead birds a day, thus showing that if the grain is uride agreeable to them they mil not worry themselves about digging the sprouting seed out of the ground. Mr Powell has again been very successful with his poisoned grain this year, and has been able to pick up and show at the Longbeach atation 240 dozen small birds a day. Besides these, of course, are many that die m fencep, etc., which are never seen. The birds are now flocking m thousands into the shelter of the station, and Mr Powell's grain is very deadly amongst them. He says from August to December is the best time of the year to operate on the old birds. Some attention must be given to the habits of the birds if success m their destruc tion is to be hoped for, A look out Bhould be kept and the placf s at which the birds feed should be noted. These ascf rtaire ', a small quantity of poisoned grain should be dropped there. It will do no harm to drop some good grain with it. Careful attention, and the use of poisoned grain as the birds will take, ought to be rewarded with the successful destruction of most of the ben birds. The latter when laying or Bitting will take grain freoly. Just now the sparrows have largely left the farms and are congregating about the towns and more populous places. "Were some attempt made to destroy them m the towns, the farmers' crop 3 would be subjected to much less damage than they now suffer from the small birds nuisance. Mr Powell is quite sure that m two or three nights h» could destroy a very large percentage of the birds m Ashburton or Chriatchurch, or any other town, as these are regular breed ing places for sparrows, and m the season almost every house cave holds one or more nests. M&ny of the farmers m the county are giving Mr Powell's poisoned grain a trial this year. and he has been fueling large orders over both islands — one County Council recommending his grain to another.

In ord«r that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the -nedical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, a3 per nformation forwarded to us through the Consnl at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate : — It is proved by toßts by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz.Professor of Pannacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the vanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts aiie to be classed according to tho named authorities, among the turpentinee, which ? *re abandoned long since as an nternal adicament. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : I By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through itß eurplua oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through' the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
