To destroy Moles.

This may be done by a Mole-spear, stricking down where you see them heave, by setting Traps in their Tracks, especially glazed earthen Pots, as pi••fals, into which if they fall, as consequently they will, if set in their way, they cannot get out, if the height be above their length.

Some there are that fill a Jugg with a narrow Neck with Brimstone, Ceder-wood, Tu••pentine, and Rosin, and clap it, when lighted, to the Mouth of their Holes, which drawing strongly in with the Air, suffocates them.

Others make a paste of white Helebore, whites of Eggs, and Wheat-flower, which laid in little pieces at the Mouths of their Holes, they will eat at coming out to Air, and poyson themselves.

You may likewise call them that are in hearing to you, by putting a live Mole in a Pot over a gentle Fire, as is said in Relation to Mice and Rats, on that Account.
