Egg, and Hemp-Seed, wxhich tliey will do 

 in about three Weeks or a Month. \\'heii 

 you put them firft in a Cage, ihow them 

 their Victuals upon the point of a Stick 

 made for that Purpofe. This will make ' 

 them learn tofeed themfelves, and like wile 

 .tame. I have brought them up fo tame, 

 that they will follow me about the Houie^ 

 and fit upon my Idand, which indeed is a 

 great Rarity in'a Sky-Lark, as I told yuu

 Hemp^-Seed at the firft, and put about half 

 as much Hemp Seed as Egg, one Egg^aad 

 the Quantity of a Half-penny Loat^ wiii 

 ferve half a "Dozen Birds, When they are

 Month old, I put them fome fine dry Gra- 

 vel at the Bottom of the Cage, and a d^urf 

 of three leafed Grafs, I itill idick the:na 

 little foft Vicduals at the Side of the Cagc,- 

 for fear they fhould pine after It^ which
