Digging-Stick for Roots.—Iirst the man makes | a digging-stick of | 
yew-wood for digging carrots. When it is nearly | spring, and the 
plants begin to have buds, the man | takes his ax and goes into the 
woods to look for a yew-tree. When || he finds one, he picks out a 5

he measures off three spans and chops it off. | Then he chops off the 
end so that it is flat, and || it is like the stick for peeling off hemlock- 10

and his straight knife and takes what is to be the digging-stick | for 
carrots and sits down. First the || bark of the yew-wood digging- 15

off, he shaves off the sap, so that it is | all off; and when it is all off, 
he puts down his straight | knife, takes his crooked knife, and shaves | 
the digging-stick that is being made. He shaves it well, || so that it 20

flat, and he also makes it smooth and | a (AA ls ee little bent.
