Of our readers we give the following

ENJOY of thin muoilage by stirring in
two tsblespoonfuls gloss starch pre-
viously mixed with little cold water.
Remove from the stove and add two
tablespoonfuls of baking soda and one
level teaspoonful Of socohsrine. Beat
we'll until mixture resembles smooth
cream, then stir in two tablespoonfuls
of corn sirup and one tablespoon OF
glycerine. Pour over fifteen quarts OF
Feterite, Milo Maize or good clean oats
and mix thoroughly until every grain
is coated. Prepare poison at least
twelve hours before using and stir oc-
casionally until nearly dry. A galva-
nized wash tub is q convenient re-
ceptaole to use in mixing small qusn-
titles. Large quantities 40 200 quarts
of grain, may be prepared at one time
in smooth tight box, by mixing with
spade.
To obtain the best results distrtbut,
the poisoned grain in Tablespoonful

time to expose poison on large areas

plainly labeled and kept out of reaol
