HALE'S PERFECT MOLE TRAP. 



We have offered for several years the very best Mole Traps that ingenuity could devise, for the 

 destruction of the little pests which play such havoc in the garden, and have sold hundreds of various 

 traps, which have proven more or less effective. But the great need of a perfect mole trap has 

 brought out many improvements, and the one we now offer, we believe to be the best and most com- 

 plete Mole Trap ever invented, and is superior to all others in the following respects : 



Owing to the arrangements for holding the spring, it is easier to set than any other trap, and 

 cannot "startle" or injure the operator while being set. 



The construction of the trap is such that it will catch moles when quite deep in the ground, 

 and there being no pin or other obstruction projecting into the run, there is nothing to frightc" 

 or disturb the mole as it passes, and in doing so raises the ground over the "run" (which always 

 sinks somewhat*, just enough to spring the trigger, which must firmly rest on the soil over the 

 "run." 



The points of the pins being constantly in the ground, it cannot catch or injure chickens or 

 other domestic animals. 



Cannot be blown over, or injured in any way by rain or storm, and being made entirely of 

 metal, cannot warp, twist or get out of order, and is light, neat and durable. 



The ground not being disturbed in any manner, it can be set very close to plants without in- 

 juring them, and it can also be set touching a wall, fence, etc., without impairing the working 

 of the trap in any way. 



WHERE TO SET THE TRAP. 



There are many tracks through which a mole passes but once, and, of course, it is useless to 

 place the trap over such a run. To find a run which is frequently used, depress the ridges for a 

 short distance in several parts of the lawn. As Moles pass through some runs at regular intervals, 

 say about 12 o'clock M., and again at 6 P. M., it is an easy matter to tell which " runs ' are used, by 

 examining the depressions and noting those that have been raised. 



Full directions for setting sent with each trap. Price, $2.50 each.
