No Birds on 

 Cornfields. 



After the heavy expenses which farmers incur in ploughing, 

 manuring and generally preparing their land for crop pro- 

 duction, they allow their expensive seed corn to be taken 

 by Birds — Rooks, Pheasants, Pigeons, &c. — unless they use 



CORVUSINE. D.G. 



(The wonderful non-poisonous liquid seed dressing.) 



Corvusine has been so improved that it is now non-sticky 

 and impossible even for the most inexperienced to get drill 

 clogging, and it so easily slips over the seed that the labour 

 of dressing is reduced to a minimum. 



It is easier and nicer to handle than any other dressing. 

 What some of our users say:— 



Mr. J. CROKER-ABBOT, B.A., of Xaas, Ireland, writes:— 



We have used "Corvusine D.G." with most satisfactory results as a "preventive seed 

 dressing," as also have many of our friends and neighbours, and all speak in highest terms 

 of its marvellous efficacy in circumventing "the raids" of birds and vermin, and also as a 

 sure preventive of "ground rot." It is vastly superior to other liquid seed dressings used, 

 does not clog the drills, and is so cleanly and safe in use. 



Mr. R. WOOLLATT, of Codicote, Herts, writes :— 



Your trial tin of Corvusine was the acme of success against all vermin, &c. I am 

 most pleased with it, being in a pheasant and rook district. So please send along next 

 month three No. 2 cans Corvusine D.G. 



Mr. Wm. J. MACKAY, of Lerwick, writes:— 



I have recommended it to several of the farmers here. I am certain my crop last 

 year was much heavier where I used the Corvusine.
