Mol.s as Grub Destroyer..

A Kansas correspondent tells in the
Farmers Review that every investiga-
tion goes to show that the mole lives on
insects and starves on cereals and vege-
tables, Hecalls attention to the fact that
when lawns are apparel Sly rendered un-
slightly by uioles. if one will cut sec
tiGn of the sod he will find the cause IN
quantities of white grubs, the presence
of the mole being TO feed ON this larvae.
1t was Mr.. Landis who first came to the
assistance of the mole
On his ground at Vinefand, N. j. he
paid twenty five cents for all the moles
sent to him. He was ridiculed, but all
knew that his enterprise was great
success To attack a popular idea is I'm.
popular, and it takes a long time IL, make
reform: the mole trap will be sold. Cul.
tivate the moles. and as soon as the
larvae are eradicated the moles will
leave the, lawn for other pastures. De
pend upon it that whenever evidences OF
the mole are found. there you will find
the white grub. concludes the Kansas
correspondent.

Among the habitues was a lawyer named
Spolor, whose skill at billiards was sur

when he took the place Of highway sur
veyor he received no tools from his Re-

of course the tools were turned over to
him. He had no intention of retaining

not be induced to stay with the farmer and
sought its old home at the fret opportu-

Last week it was turned over to Dog
