JAM AND STRICHNINE FOR RABBITS.
A very deadly rabbit bait is made of raspberry jam and strychnine, as follows: —Place a large teaspoonful of sluble ‘strychnine into half a tin of jam; then three-quarters fill the tin with sugav. and stir well, so that the sugar and stryclmihc dissolve. The sugar takes oft" the bitter taste from the strychnine, and the rabbits will eat it more readily. Small furrows should be made about the burrows with a- garden hoe. in which small fiat stones should tie placed from 2ft to 3ft- apart. On each stone a small piece of jam should be placed. Stock will not touch this. The most suitable time for killing rabbits is when the feed and water are scam'.
