SEPTEMBER. 339 



Much work may be found in the garden in 

 removing decayed plants, digging, gathering 

 seeds, sowing and planting for next year. The 

 gathering of nuts, acorns, blackberries and 

 elderberries finds many of the poor employment 

 and profit, but it is to be regretted that vast 

 quantities of hazel nuts are annually lost in 

 this kingdom through the extreme jealousy of 

 the country gentlemen, who forbid the poor to 

 enter their woods on account of the game. 



ANGLING. 



Tench is not in season ; Bream is at its best, 

 but must be taken early or late in the day, and 

 in gloomy, windy weather, being the shyest of 

 fish ; Perch may be caught till the end of the 

 month j and Dace is best caught from this time 

 till the end of the year. Baits as in April, 

 also a Camel Brown Fly.
