The Small Birds' Pest.

The Olago Daily Times say«;—The Farmers' Union Executive dealt very exhaustively on Thursday night with the small-bird nuisance, and there appeared to be a consensus of opinion that; tbe feathered pest had greater potentialities for depredation than the much-abased rabbit. One member went co far as to assert that £20,000 would be well spent by the Governments in the shape of a bonus or premium for an effective means of exterminating the birds. The County Council in hit dis'rict had recently f aid £60 In one month to boys for collecting eggti tad heads to the number of 30,000. The bona fides of the collectors, however, appeared to be open to suspicion, And the extriordiaary fecundity of the sparrow in that district was attributed to a system of assiduous cultivation by the youth of the locality. Instead of despoiling a nest and breaking it up, to that the birds, before laying more eggs, were compelled to spend their time to rebuilding, the boys carefully removed all the eggs but one, on the ordinary hen-yard principle* and then made periodic visits subsequently to remote the additional eggs, Itia thascalou* lated that the sparrow is induced to lay 10 times as many eggs in the season »f it would do tinder ordinary circum stances, Another member complained that it was the greatest difficulty to get any poisoned grain that could not be consumed with impunity, and his ex perience was that the birds thrived on it. One day he got tired of feeding the birds in this way, and caught some, pat them in a cage, and sent them along with a sample of the grain, to the agent who supplied it, with the re quest to test tbe efficacy of his own exterminator, and with the balance of the grain he began to feed the fowls about the farmyard, but it proved to deadly that 67 died. The sparrows, it appeared, took the precaution to shell tbe grain, leaving the poison on the husks I

Here's What's Wanted.

A CITIZEN OF ASHBURTON SUP PLIES THE INFORMATION.

Over half the complaints of mankind originate with the kidneys. A slight touch of backache at find, Twinges and shooting pains in the loini follow; they mast be cheeked; they lead to graver complications; The sufferer seeks reliefj Piaßters are tried and liniments for tba back ; So-called kidney cares which do not care ; The long looked for relief seem* aaat tamable,;

If yon suffer do you want relief ? Follow,the plan adopted by this Aflh burton oltizsti: ■

Mrs Bowden, Hampstead, this city, says ;—'For years I hnve been tronbled with pains in the small of my back. These pains were very bad at times, bat varied a good deal, sometimes easing off a lot. I was always anxious to get a cure for thia ailment and was very glad to obtain a box of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills at the Ashburton Drag Go's store in East street. These pills proved a care for my trouble. They stopped (hepain shortly after I com menced to ase them and the pain has never returned since.'

Saccess has brought np many imitations of Doan's pills, bat there is nothing josb as good as the remedy which cured Mrs Bowden« therefore be sore you get the same medicine.

Doan's Backache Kidney Fills are lold by all chemists and storekeepers ad 3s per box (six boxes 16s 8d), or will be posted on receipt of price by the proprietors, Foster, MeLellan Co., 76 Pitt Street. Sydney, N.S.W.
