 Tittle white Bread and Milk, and boll it 

 very iliff, fo that it be as thick as a Piikice. 

 I likewile take lome Rape-Seed, and Ibak 

 it three or four Hours in Water, and then 

 boil it up, and elthtrr grind it or beat it in 

 a IVJortar, or with a Gkfs-Bottle upon a 

 Table; take about a third Part of Rape- 

 Seed to the white Bread and Milk, and feed 

 them once in two Hours ; give them about 

 five or fix Bits to each Bird, mixed very 

 w^eil together ; you mull give them every 

 Day freili Victuals, or elfe it Vi^ill grow 

 four and fpoilthem. I llkewife give them 

 now and then a little {ielb Meat, Sheep's 

 Heaci, &c. You mull: put them in a Cage 

 ss foon as jou can., that is to fay^ keep tht-m 

 thrte or four Days in a Baft<et, or a Week 

 if they.are voung, -tlien take a ILtde Hay, 

 cut it very ihort, and p^^ it in the Bottom 

 of the Cage, or elfe a little coaife Bran, but 

 I prefer Hay before it, becaufe they are apt 

 to drop their Victuals, in the Bottom of the 

 Cage, and when they pick it up again, do 

 piclv fome of the Bran, which doth them 

 no good. You muft turn their Hay up, or 

 liuiLthcm once a Dav. for if you do nc^ 

 keep them clean, they feldora come to -any?" 

 1 hing ; th^-y require a large Cage. I have 

 never any fmailer than a Foot fquare. I keep 

 them in Hay or Bran, till they feed them- 

 Iclv.s with dry Meat •, that is to fay, Bread,
