TO DESTROY MOLES
Extract to the Editor. --- Kentucky, 27th August, 1820.
I noticed some time ago, in your valuable paper, a complaint from a lady against the Moles. Advise her (in your own way) to try the effect of planting a few of the Palma Christi, or Castor Beans in her grounds, say ten or twelve in an acre, so disposed as to equalize their influence in all parts of it.
My own experience has induced me to believe this remedy greatly beneficial, if not absolutely effectual; although when advised to try it, I thought it ridiculous, and am indebted to accident for the introduction of it into my grounds.
