SMALL BIRD POISONING.
TO THE KDITOB.
Sir,—Would it not be a good ides to get a contrivance like a seed sower fixed on the guards' vans of the North and South expresses, and thus drop poisoned grain daily between Invercargill and Ohristohurch ? A small exaction from counties, according to mileage, coald be made to cover cost. It would bo easy for the guard to stop the dropping, going through places like Oatnaru, and also afc stations when required. True, this would not touch the back country, but daily poisoning on a 400-tnile line would undoubtedly tell on the scourge. The farmers seem asleep over the matter in, most places.—l am, &c, Dunedin, August 14,1889. Tbt It-.
