Of the great and lejfer SPRINGES. 



HAving noted the Morning and Evening feeding 

 of dividcd-footed-Fowl, obferving the Furrows 

 and Water-Trap's where they ufually lialk and pad- 

 dle to find Worms, Float-Grafs-roots , and the like i 

 you muft mark wiierc many P^urrows meet in one, and 

 break out as it were into one narrow paflagc, which 

 fo defcending, afterwards divides it (elf into other 

 parts and branches \ then mark bow every Furrow 

 breaketh and cometh into this Center or little Pit, 

 which is mod paddled with the "Fowl, or which is ea- 

 fieft for Fowl to wade in : This being done, take fmall 

 and (hort Sticks , and prick, them crofs-wife athwart 

 over all the other pafTages , one Stick within half 

 an Inch of the other , making as it were a kind of 

 Fence to guard every way but one which you 

 would have the Fowl to pafs : if they fland but fome- 

 what more than a handful above the Water, fuch 

 is the nature of the Fowl that they will not prcfs o- 

 ver them , but ftray about till that they find the open 

 way. 



Having thus hemmed in all ways but one , take 

 a ftiff Stick cut flat on the one fide , and prick 

 both ends down into the Water, and make the upper 

 part of the flat fide of the flick to touch the water, and 

 no more ; then make a Bow of fmall Hazel or Wil- 

 low made in the falhionofa Pear, broad and round at 

 one end , and narrow at the other , at leafl a foot 

 long, and five or fix Inches broad, and at the narrow 

 end make a fmall nick : then take a good ftiff-grown 

 plant of Hazel , clean without knot , three or four 

 Inches about at the bottom , and an Inch at the top,
