In placing a trap, one of tin stretches of the runwny that leads In a definite di­ rection should he chosen rather than one of the turns that may not be regu- lurly traversed by the mole. Before setting the trap. It Is well to ascertain the course of the burrow by thrusting down a lend pencil, or stick of similar size. The trap selected should then he lined tip with the course as nearly as possible| the Jaws of the sciNNor-JttW type should straddle It, the loops of the choker type should encir­ cle It, und the spikes of the harpoon ty|ie should he directly nbove It. In the case of the harpoon tyj«-, It Is best to force the Impaling spikes Into the ground once or twice to facilitate their penetrating Into the burrows when the trap Is sprung. It Is desirable also. In setting any of the traps, to depress on­ ly that part of the ridge Immediately under the trigger pan, using the bund Instead of the foot for this purpose. A little earth or u small chip of wood may he placed under the pen If neces “ary. The trigger catch should be sol us lightly as possible, und one should avoid stepping on any part of the run­ wny near the trap. It will pay to visit traps at least twice a dny. Moles nre persistent In repairing breaks In tbcfr tunnels and may often lx? surprised at their work. It Is easy then to capture the animal by Impaling It with a fork or throwing It out by n quick thrust of spade or shovel. A section of the runway mny first he broken open or leveled and the place watched until the animal Is observed moving the soil. Moles are sometimes trapped In emp­ ty glass Jars, gullon size. The Jar should he set along s main mole run­ way that has been long In use. A nar­ row excavation, deep enough to receive the Jar and ullow Its top to he some- whut below the bottom of the tunnel, should be made. The sod muy then be replaced over the excavation so as to bridge without obstructing the en­ trance to the Jur. The unlmnl In com­ ing along the tunnel falls Into the Jar and cannot climb out. Success depends much on the- skill used In placing the trap. Repeated leveling of mole ridges on a lawn by means of s roller not only tends to discourage the nntinuls from making further Incursions, but pre­ vents the soli from drying out and thus Injuring grass roots.

For the purpose of emphasizing the sanitary condition of the dairy of the state hospital at Napa Calif., the Napa County Live Stock Association held Its annual banquet In the barn where the cattb are kept, according to the August Popular Mechanics Magazine. Long tables were placed in an area between rows of stalls, and covers laid for 120 persons. In the same room with the banqueters were 200 cows In their stalls. While the men ate. the cows were milked by the em­ ployes of the dairy. D ifferent. Hostess (at party) — Does your mother allow you to have two pieces of pic when you are at home. Willie?
