REDDICK'S MOLE TRAP. 



This trap speaks for itself ; it needs no other testimonials. Directions fo^ 

 Setting the Trap. — In the early part of the season the 

 mole runs show above the ground, and all that is 

 necessary is to press on the runway with the heel, clos- 

 ing it for a few inches, and set the trap directly astraddle 

 the run. Push the trap-frame and spear-tines down 

 into the ground until stopped by the trigger-pan and 

 spear-head. Pull up handle and let it drop a few ti 

 bear down on frame with left hand, and raise the 

 handle with the right until the notch catches on 

 of the frame. W'hen trigger is properly set below-, ] 

 handle on top to one side, which will release it from 

 the notch : spear-head will be caught by top of trigger, 

 and trap is set. After pushing the trap into the ground 

 as far as possible, withdraw the entire trap about y% of 

 an inch. During the middle of summer moles work 

 deeper. Remove some of the top earth and set the trap 

 lower. One soon learns which are regular runs bv 

 depressing the earth ; if raised again bv the mole, set 

 your trap there, and you will get him. <i.25.
