THE DRIFF1ELD ANGLER. 121 



tween both ; badgers hair from the ear, light 

 and dark brown, blackish, and black ; hog's 

 down, which may be had about Christmas of 

 butchers, or rather of those that make brawn ; 

 it should be plucked from under the throat, 

 and other soft places of the hog, and must 

 be of the following colours, that is to say, 

 black, red, whitish, and sandy, and for other 

 colours you may get them dyed ; seal's fur is 

 to be had at the trunk-makers ; get this also 

 dyed of the colour of cow and calf's hair 

 in all the different shades, from light to 

 the darkest brown ; never heed cow or 

 calf's hair, both which are harsh, and will 

 never work kindly or lay handsomely ; get 

 also mohair, black, blue, purple, white, and 

 violet ; camlet, both hair and worsted, blue, 

 yellow, dun, light and dark brown, red, 

 violet, purple, black, pink, and orange co- 

 lours : some recommend the hair of abortive 

 colts and calves, but seal's fur, dyed as 

 above, is much better; and observe, that 

 hog's wool is best for large, and the seal's fur 

 for small, flies.
