The Michigan Farmer gives the following:
A lady farmer said the meadow moles had annoyed them greatly, and destroyed two fine pear trees. She tried an experiment for them with success. Their subterranean was uncovered, and two cow’s horns, with the large ends from each other, placed in it, so that the moles coming either way would enter the horns. Such is the “nature of the critter” that it never backs out of a scrape, persevering ahead till it makes its way or dies at the attempt. The latter it does in the present instance.
