 bage and cauliflower plants, and also for

Used very extensively by the largest 

 cucumber growers in this vicinity with 

 satisfactory results. The past 'season 

 we had opportunity to have a thorough 

 test made of our Tobacco Dust on' 

 chicken lice, not only through our own 

 experience, that we have found it to be 

 the best insecticide for henneries, under 

 setting hens, etc.; we have had it tested 

 by a number of poultry men, who pro- 

 nounce it to be the best agent against 

 poultry vermin. The advance in price of 

 Tobacco Dust has been caused by the 

 action of the Tobacco Manufacturers.
