" „ Gentlemen,— l received the 21b tin of Toxa on Saturday, the Bfch iDst., and at once laid some of it in a 26 -acce paddock below the bouse which I ' had not ppi^oAeclYwith^phosphoiJized oats. I can assure you it opened my eyes next morning to find 21 rabbits all lying ,in a row just as if some-. •' brife ha'd'laid the'mjthere. None of the rabbits 5 were more than three yards from the sods, so -that let me see that if a rabbit took it he did not have much time to get away to cover. The only thing I- regret is not- having, someone with me to; see the sight. Theretis ho Qnistake ifc is a miracle, and knocks spotia out ot poisoned grain.! I. am sorry now tliat j had all the other pad-; docks poisoned beforehand with the phosphorus. The way I used,, the, Toxa was as follows: — "I '. turned up a sod eyery ,12yds until I had about a: dozen. Then I put a small piece about half as big as a pigeon's egg on each. I think the more sods tut bed up Uhe better, as it draws the rabbit's attention fco the poison. Of course, plenty of the sods were never touched, and if there are^ ■any more rabbits, about, there is as much Toxa* on "the other sods as will kill more than three; times 21. * I--wilHell-you later = on-howniany*l: get in the paddock altogether, but I think I have told, you enough to-.leiv.you see .what a : . capital thing it is. -^1 remain, &c.j' v, : '.• ;■ V .'' J,ohn .Burns. : [P.S.— Had to open' tins letter tb let you! "know the results on Monday morning. I found; 18 more rabbits,.,] ust v/here I got the 21 the; previous morning, and still there are sods not; touched, so I may get a few more yet, although, the rabbits are not very thick in this paddock.] Lovell's Flat. < Messrs -Stronach Bros, and Morris, agents for - Toxa rabbit poison. - Gentlemen, — It will, perhaps, interest you to; know the results of my experiments with the; above-mentioned preparation. ' I laid it down in; a well-grassed land as directed, and I must say that it killed the rabbits quickly and in considerable, numbersy It. .appears nto be a very powerful preparation, "as the- rabbits never get' far from the sods after taking it. I think Toxa ' is THE poison for bare land, whether in a culti-. vated or native state. The rabbits take the preparation ' quickly on such land, and every skin is secured, which is not the case with phosphorised oats. The rabbits seem to.be very fond of Toxa', as a little hole" was licked 1 in the sods bn the* spot where the poison was laid. Wishing you every success, — I am, &c, * . ' * • James Nelson. To Toxa' Manufacturing Company, Dunedin. Dear. Sirs,— We' have been experimenting . with the new rabbit poison ,-Toxa at, Ofcama, and we find it quite equal to what it has been represented to be. : We killed withthe poison (a 21b tin) 270 rabbits and found -every skin. From our experience we should say.. that it is a long way cheaper to. use than phosphbrized, oats, and we have had loog experience as rabbiters.— We are &c. , R. Wardrop. Jas. Blackstock. SAVE YOUR CROPS By using grain impregnated with the powerful poison TOXA to kill off the small birds. After numerous and lengthy experiments we have succeeded in preparing grain '-. charged with , TOXA. poison, so that. it will kill sparrows, green linnets, and' other seed-eating : birds," very " rapidlj' ; this we have proved' by actual experiments on the birds themselves. We hsive had a practical ; birdcatcher engaged trapping sparrows and green linnets, especially for experimental purposes, and the results of , our labours have been all that could be desired. TOX A! poisoned grain will always bo the same strength, and the poison by our process will be forced right into the kernel of the grain ; therefore two or -three grains will be found quite sufficient to kill any small bird in a very short time. , Persons requiringany,,sp.e-?ial see.d charged witli TOX A. Poison j such as rape, can get some by giving the agents a yveek's notice to procure it.' ' •' ;, TOXA poisoned grain 1 is put up in 7 and 141 b cans ; prices 5s and 9s per tiu.
