annually devastate our fields of growing
grain. Their number may be greatly
diminished by a systematic warfare upon
them. Every female killed before the
young are born, reducts the number of

“Woodlark" Squirrel l’oison is the most
reliable and destructive agent yet devised

certain in its action and every kerne' is
warranted to kill. Climatic changes or
moisture of the earth do not destroy its
strength. It requires no mixing or prepa
ration, and is always ready for use. No
