Directions for 



REDDICK'S MOLE TRAP. 



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

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

 mole runs show above the giound, 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 times, 

 bear down on frame with left hand, and raise the 

 handle with the right until the notch catches on top 

 of the frame. When trigger is properly set below, pull 

 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 /s 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 by 

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

 your trap there, and you will get him. $1.25.
