 In July, Auguft, and September, from 

 a wafp's neft you may provide yourfelf 

 plentifully with good baits for dvery 

 kind of fifn that will take maggots and

 be neceflfary to guard yourfelf againft the 

 refentment of the furious inhabitants, by 

 introducing a lighted gunpowder fquib in- 

 to the neft;, about the dufk of evening, 

 then ftop the hole clofe, and let it re- 

 main in .that ftate half an hour, when 

 you may dig . out the comb without 

 danger of being flung ; it muft then 

 be baked before a moderate fire, with 

 a tin bonnet behind it, which makes 

 the baits tough, ajid blackens their ends*

 pings from cattle in dry pafhures ; it
