Dalmation Insect Powder ^ Paris Green 20 Slug Shot 03 Hellebore .. 18 Large Quantities on Application, OLMSTEAD MOLE TRAP. PRICE,. $, DIRECTIONS FOR USING. Depress the mound that the mole has made, for a space only sufficient to admit the trigger, then press the frame, together with the needles into the ground as far as the stops and directly over the track of the mole. Work the needles uf and dozun in the ground several times to 7nake theyn zvork free. Then lift the needles and allow the needle-plate to rest upon the upper end of the lever, then hook the lower end of the lever into the trigger, place a brick, or stone, upon the platform. When the spring is used, take the lever, D, in the left hand, holding it at right-angles to the frame, raise the needle up to the cross bar, and hook the lever to the trig- ger. The mole in passing under the trap lifts the trigger, thereby releasing the lever and causing the weight or spring to force the needles into the mole. In order that a mole trap may be of utility, the user should know something of the habits of the mole, many tracks will be in the fields, gar- dens, and lawns through which the mole never passes but once. Of course there is no use of setting a trap over such a track. To find a track which is frequented by moles, depress the mounds which the moles have made for a small space in different parts of the fields, place a stick upright in the ground near by so that the depression can be readily found again. It has been observed that moles re-pass through the roads at regular intervals, that is, about I3 m. and 6 p. m. If by going over the fields again the mounds which were depressed are again raised up, set a trap there and you are sure to catch a m
