DUCK GUN WADDING. 293 



" r/MC&-guns," as I dread recommending it for field 

 shooting, lest I should be the means of setting corn 

 or buildings on fire. Indeed, the use of it here would 

 be running a needless risk, as any thing is good 

 enough to kill partridge, or a hare. 



I have also put the cork wadding under this head, 

 as the only material worthy to be named with oakum.
