The New Zealand Journal of Agriculture reports that Mr A. A. Corban, a viticulturisfc 'at Henderson, Auckland, has introduced a bird-lime for the purpose of protecting grapes, etc., from small birds. This has been tested at the Waerenga Experimental Farm, with satisfactory results. A small tree was covered with sticks of the bird-lime, and tied to a post in the vineyard. In two hours seventy-seven white-eyes, which are so destructive to the grapes, were caught. There were eighteen birds up one stick. The birdlime held blackbirds and thrushes equally well. Once they touch it there is no hope of their getting away. The lime is very easily manipulated, being handled with case and cleanliness. "It is splendid for children," write* a Wellington mother. "I would not be without Baxter's Lung Preserver for anything. At the first sign of \ cough or cold I.give my children a good dose of Lung Preserver —the result is I never have a bad cold in the house. My friends use~it too- and find it just as satisfactory." You can get the same results as this lady by buying a Is 10d' bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver which will last a whole season, j For Influenza take Woods' Great Peppermint Cwre. Never fails. 1/6,-. 2/6. • j
