NICOTINE KEEPS DOGS AWAY 
Spraying plants with diluted nicotine sulphate 
will cause cats and dogs to avoid them according 
to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. This 
spray seems to be very offensive to animals and 
should be used especially on evergreens at all 
seasons of the year when dogs are liable to cause 
injury. No doubt nicotine dust will give the same 
results.
