TRAPPING.
way out of the holes, above the surface of the wood, where they
are to be tied to a string. In the half circle of wood, cut small
grooves, and open the wire loops so that the wire may lie in
these grooves, then plaster them over with mould. To set the
trap, select a tough green stick to act as a springle, and tie a
piece of strong cord to the end of it. Pass the other end of this
cord through the hole in the middle of the trap, and tie a knot
in it. This hole must be large enough to allow the knot to pass
through easily. A little wedge of wood, as seen in fig. 2, is then
pushed up between the knot and the wood underneath, so as to
keep the knot from slipping through, and two pieces of wood
are to be placed across the trap, to keep it down to the ground.
The springle being fixed in the ground, is now driven down and
tied to the string to which the wires are attached. The trap is
rig. 2.

then to be set in the places previously marked, and when the
mole attempts to pass through its run, it is compelled to go
through one of the half circles of the trap, and in doing so, it
moves the wedge which holds the knot of the string tied to the
springle. This done, the spring flies up, draws the wire loops
tight, and the mole and the trap a:e by this means both suspended in the air.
