]»OI.E TRAP, THE IMPROVED 
ISBEI^I.. 
It is acknowledged by all who have given it a trial as 
the best Trap ever invented for catching and destroying 
the underground mole. When properly set, it never al- 
lows the mole to escape, and no skill is required in setting 
it. The " Improved " Isbell Mole Trap is made of the best 
annealed iron, so that it will wear for years and never 
shatter, as other mole traps do, they being made of com- 
mon cheap cast-iron. 
We have not the space, neither is it necessary, to print 
the hundreds of testimonials which we have received from 
all parts regarding this trap. 
Directions for Setting : Brush the dirt off the top of 
the mole track, then stick the two main prongs into the 
ground astride of it, so that the wooden pin will be about 
1 K inches from the bottom of the run. Then brush the 
dirt back again in its original position (as near as possible), 
pull up the handle at the top and adjust the catch.
