freely soluble in hot water and in the

with excellent results. 1t is prepared
as follows:

a pint of thick sugar syrup, and stir

The above quantity is sufficient to
poison a half bushel of shelled corn or
other grain (corn recommended). The
grain Is stepped in hot water and al
lowed to soak over night. 1t is then
drained and soaked for several hours
in the poisoned syrup, Before using,
corn meal may be added to take up
the excess Of moisture.
Dry crystals of strychnine also may
be used. They are introduced, by
means o, a knife, into small pieces of
potato, carrot, or sweet potato, or into
the entire raisins or dried prunes, A
single large crystal Tor several small
onesl, is enough for each bait. Rails
