A lady whose garden is very much disturbed by moles, and who has not found traps a success for the destruction of the animals, wishes to know what can be done to abate the nuisance. Where traps fail, the next best thing to do is to let a lad watch the garden for a day, and as soon as the moles are seen to throw up the earth, dig them out with a spade. This plan is often followed. The person watching may have some employment near, and every half hour would be often enough to approach where the burrows are. The place must be approached very quietly, as the least sound frightens away the mole. Run the spade into the ground behind where the earth is rising to cut off all retreat, and the work is done.
