greafe unfalted, fo much as will make it run ••, then 

 adde thereto two fpoonfuls of ftrong Vinegar, a fpoon- 

 ful of the bert Salkt-Oyl, ai^d a fmall quantity of Fe- 

 lice-Turpentine : This is the allowance of thefe In- 

 gredients, which mi^ft be added to every pound of 

 I'trong Bird-lime, as aforefaid. Having thus mingled 

 them, boil them all gently together over a fmall fire, 

 rtirring it continually \ then take it from the fire and 

 let it cool : When at any time you have occafion to u(e 

 it, warm if, and then anoint your Twigs or Straws, or 

 any other fmall things, and no Water will take away 

 the (hength thereof. This fort ot Bird-lime is the beft,

 lli^aping fome oneway and fome another', then re-

 clofeto the ground btf)re they light. When you fee 

 any taken, (tir not at firli, for he will feed with the 

 Twi^s under his Wings i and as others come over 

 the place, he will be a means to entice them down to 



him.
