E is a very hardy Bird, and for the 

 Building and Breeding any Country 

 Boy knows how it is ; they breed very foon 

 in the Year, at the latter End of March I 

 have had young Ones ; you naay take them 

 at tenor twelve Days old,; in the Country 

 they commonly feed them with Cheefe- 

 Curd, or white Bread and Milk •, my Way of 

 feeding them is, with Sheep's or Ox's Heart, 

 or any other fort of lean Meat, cut very 

 fmall and mix*d up with a little Bread ; 

 while they are young you muH make their 

 Victuals m.oift, and feed them once in two 

 Hours ; you muil be fure to keep them ve- 

 ry clean, and take their Dung away every 

 lime you feed them, if you find their Kelt 

 grows dirty, take them out and put them 

 in clean Straw *, this Bird is like'^all others, 

 if he is kept naily, he feldom anfwers the 

 End, you muii part them as fuon as you 

 can •, when they are grown upvou may feed 

 them with any Thing of Flelh Meat boiled, 

 raw or roafted •, you may likewife bring 

 them up to Wood-Lark's Vi^ftuals, but I 

 think Flefii Meat, mxix'd with a little Bread, 

 is btfl : This Bird is a Ilout flrong Bird,
