The message
from Jaques d'Alltrades contains these words:

Get one of those split-cane plant supports and trace where the runs go.
DO NOT put the trap in one of the short branches that go to a molehill,
as moley pushes a pile of earth in front of him and that will set off
the trap before he is in it.

Oops! Don't use it as a divining rod - poke it into the ground and
you'll feel it go through the tunnel and stop at the bottom of it.

Leave the ends squared - don't sharpen it to a point.
