it close round the turf, sticking some grass in it 

 as if it there grew: make it curious and neat, that 

 it might even deceive yourself: ten or twelve yards 

 from the trap, three several ways, scatter some of 

 the mole-hill mould very thin on a place 15 or 16 

 inches square, then on these places, arid where 

 the trap is placed, lay three or four small bits of 

 cheese, and then with a sheeps's paunch draw a 

 trail a mile or two long to each of these three 

 places, and from thence to the trap, that the fox 

 may come to one of these places first, for then he 

 will approach the trap more boldly: and thus you 

 will never fail of him: be sure let your trap be left 

 loose, that he may draw it to some hedge or covert, 

 or he will bite off his leg and be gone. 



A spring trap for a Fox or Badger. 



Bend down a stick in the wood, or set a pole 

 ia the ground where he uses to come, much like 

 that set up for a woodcock, which hangs them up. 

 To explain it better: tie a string to some pole set 

 iast in the ground, and to this string make fast 

 a small short stick made thin on the upper side, 

 with a notch at the lower end of it: then set ano- 

 ther stick fast in the ground, with a nich under 

 it: then bend down the pole, and let both the nicks 

 or notches join as slight as may be: then open the 

 noose of the string, and place it in his path or walk, 

 and if you lay pieces of cheese, flesh, or such 

 like, it will entice him that way. 

 Fox. 



Anoint the soles of your shoes with swine's fat 

 a little broiled, and coming trom the wood, drop 

 here and there a piece of roasted swine's liver dip- 

 ped in honey, dra ving after you a dead cat, and 

 he will follow you so that you may shoot him.
