loops of the choker type should encir

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

traps at least twice a dny.
Moles nre persistent In repairing
breaks In tbcfr tunnels and may often

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.

mole. Its habits, and methods of con
trol. the reader Is referred to Farm ers’

Banquet Is Held In Barn W h ile Cows

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
