He also made another shipment of fine calve? and lambs on that day to the city markets. He seems to find it more profitable to ship calves and lambs than old stock. How to Iestroy 3IoIe.i. A subscriber asks how destroy moles.

We doubt very much the policy of killing moles From v.ery careful investigatioL made, it" has been proved that their food is almost wholly insectivorous. They destroy ic immense quantities the larva of some of the most destructive in sect pests, and are always found working where these pests abound. We admit that they do some jlamage by uprooting plants and causing them to wilt and die by tunneling under them, but we doubt much whether this damage amounts to anything like the good they do by ridding the soii of the larval forms of insect life They may be destroyed by set ting steel traps in their runs, or by placing bisulphide of carbon in the runs." Any strong suaell: ing drug, such as assafcetida, placed in the runs, will cause them to forsake the ground. In. using bisulphide of carbon, be careful to have.no lights around, as it is highly explosive.
