ae mewM, or if they be, that they arc very rarely good 

 afterwards. Experience tells me the contrary ; for 

 if (hey be hardy, and have flown well in their Soarage, 

 they have proved much better after mewing than be- % 



fore. 



The time of mewing for Faulcons mould be about 

 the latter end of April ■■> at which time fet down your 

 Faulcons, diligently obCerving whether they be louzy 

 or not : if they are, pepper them, and that will infal- 

 libly kill the Lice. You muft alfo fcour them, before 

 you caft them into the Mew. 



Mcwings are of two forts i the one loofe and at 

 large, the other at the Stock or Stone. 



Mewing at large is thus in (hort : If your Room be 

 large, by divifions you may mew four Faulcons at 

 once, each partition confining of about twelve foot 

 fquare, and as much in height, with two Windows 

 two foot broad, the one opening to the North, for 

 the benefit of cold Air •, the other to the Eait, for the 

 beneficial warmth of the Sun. At your Ea(i-window 

 let there be a Board two foot broad, even with the bot- 

 tom of the Window, with a Lath or Ledge round •-, 

 in the middle fet a green Turff, laying good (lore of 

 Gravel and Stones about it, that your H^n?/;, may take 

 them at her pleafure. 



\i your Faulcon be a great Bater, let your Chamber 

 be on the ground, which muft be covered four fingers 

 thick with grofs Sand, and thereon fet a Stone fome- 

 what taper, of about a Cubit fn height, on which they 

 love to tit, by reafon of its coolnefs. 



Make her two Perches, at each Window one, to 

 recreate her felf as (he pleafeth, either with Heat or 

 Cold. 



Every week or fortnight fet her a Bafon of Water 

 to bathe in •, and when (lie hath bathed therein, take it 

 away the night following.
