The formula for the poison poi-son mash Is as follows: Wheat bran. 50 pounds; paris green or crude arsenic, ar-senic, two pounds; black-strap molasses, mo-lasses, two quarts; water, one gallon, or more as needed. The mash should be mixed thoroughly together In a dry state and then the molasses should be added and stirred In. This poison mash should be broadcast over the field, taking enre to sprinkle It sparingly around the hills.
