SPECIAL ITEMS FOR SALE 
RAT SCENT: An entire whole grain mixture, highly scented, which has a 
very strong appeal to rodents. Kills quickly rats, mice, garden moles, etc. The 
Mfgrs. claim it is harmless to poultry and cats and dogs will not eat it. No 
mixing, clean and simple to handle. A 5 0c box weighs a pound put up in a light 
paper box, completely sealed. We use this ourselves and find it the ideal protection 
against mice and rodents in our bulb storage. Just lay a small quantity of grain 
where you think mice are. Complete circulars on request. This is not mailable 
and must be sent by express so we will sell four fifty cent boxes for $2.00 and
