produce a reunion that will live

HOW TO KILL HAWKS
il
Toano. Va.. May 5. 1913.
Editor The Gazette
Hawks are bad at this season and
hey rob ns of many chickens and I
rant to tell year readers how to get
Mr. Hawk. Jost add to one quart
sf meal a teaspoon full of nnxvomica
(posrd) and mix a dough. Feed
this to tbe little chicks in the mora
ing and if hawk. dog. rat or fox get
the chick that day it will be the end
of him. But remember, nuxvomica
is a deeadly poison to anything that
hasn't a crop, so keep it away froas
everything else except the chickens,
even the ducks and geese. Have a
feed coop and feed the chicks
It is a splendid tonic for chicks,
little aod big, and you can feed it
every morning as long as anything
is taking your chicks. It -will aot
?call a cat, though ;t will make him
k; tel the shot gun after him.
