CABBAGE, AND OTHER GRUBS. 61 



but made on a laro^e sins^le hook. Put on lead 

 and worsted, as in the former, or cast the lead 

 in a mould, on the shank of the hook. In 

 binding on the worsted, warp in a piece of 

 tolerably thick netting silk, a rather pale 

 yellow, waxed with white wax, or dark brown 

 silk, instead of yellow. Having wound on the 

 body as directed for fig. 1., next, wdth the 

 piece of yellow or brown silk (which, while 

 you wound on the body, should have been left 

 hanging down by the bend of the hook), fasten 

 on each side the hook a narrow strip of bright 

 straw, of about half a straw's breadth wide. 

 Lay it along each side of the body. Holding 

 it in that position, wind on over all the thick 

 yellow or brown silk with which you fastened 

 the straw to the hook, but not too thick; 

 six or seven times, at equal distances, will be 

 sufficient. Attach the peacock's strand for a 

 head — or omit it — and finish. 



The hook for this should be made with an 

 eye. The wire should be fine ; and, what 

 is of great importance, the point should stand 

 icell off from the shank.
