for Wttofotol Routing, 



IF you attempt to go out for wildfowl, without 

 being properly clothed, you will not only frighten 

 them away, and kill nothing, but you will experience 

 those very miseries which are merely imaginary with 

 persons who do not understand this pursuit. How 

 many do we see, who fancy that they would catch 

 their death by cold if they went out at night for a 

 few hours in a punt : and yet these very people are 

 in the habit of doing what is ten times more danger- 

 ous : walking in a wet day from the west end of the 

 town to the city, with thin boots, without galoches, 

 and in cotton stockings; and there, perhaps, with 

 damp feet, sitting on business for a whole morning ! 



Having mentioned that water boots should, even 

 for walking, be worn with an extra pair of coarse 

 yarn stockings, I should advise those, who go out in 

 cold nights, to have their boots made easy enough to 

 admit, instead of these, a pair of the thickest wads. 

 They should reach nearly up to the middle. This 

 will be found quite enough, provided the under stock- 

 ings arc of the warmest quality. Such, for instance.
