to come and goe in figbr, left the Cat meet with them by the 
way. Moreoucr, it is good now and then, in drieand warme 
daies, to take off the hackles, as well for this as for other cau- 
f es.v . Thofe that neaftle vpon the top of the Hiue,whcn the 
hackle is taken off, will lit ftill amazed fo long, that you may 
be fare to crulh them againft the Hiuc with your hand. Laft- 
ly, you (hall doe well to fet baited * traps in their way, that 
fo they may com effort. 
* There is none better than a Samfons Poll : which is a flat Coucr of 
Roofe fupporccd by a triangular Pillar or Prop , whofe three fides doe fo 
hold one by another, through the weight of the Roofe, that the loofing 
of one is the loofing of all :and lo the Prop failing the Roofe falleth. 
The Roofe may bee a Plankes or Boords end, or the like, t welue inches 
long and ten broad : which of it felt e , or with fome aduaritage neighcih 
foure or fiue pound. 
The three fide* or parts cf the Prop (namely, the Poft , the Swccke, 
and the Brace) are three flicks, all almoft halfc an inch broad, and balfe a 
quarter of an inch thicke. 
The Poft is moreouer three inches and a halfe long , and fharpned at 
one end. 
The Brace likewife three inches and a halfc long, and fliarpe at one end j j 
with a nicke on the broad fide halfe an inch within the other end. 
And the Swceke eight inches long, with a nicke on the vpper broad 
fide alittle within the ouc-endj and anotheron thelcft edge, two inches 
and the thicknefle of the Poft within the broad nickc. 
The parts of the Prop being thus formed apart, are to he framed toge- j 
ther in a triangle, after this manner. Firft, take the Brace in your left hand, i 
and bearc vp the fore-fidc of the Roofe with the blunt end,the nicke be- 
inginward: then fet vp the Poft fomewhat leaning toward you, with 
his fliarpe end in the nickeof the Brace : rhen kooketheedge-mcke of the j 
Swccke to the Poft : and make all faft with the fhaipeedge of the Bsace 
fixed in the broad nicke of the Swecke. 
But firft bait thcSweckc withathinnepeeceofgood Cheefe, or Bacon, > 
or Suet, tyed with a thread vpon the inner end. And bee fure that the 
Prop doe Hand fo fickle that it may eafilv be loofed : and th at the Roofe i 
when itfallethjlic flat and euen with the Floore, left the poorc Moufc lofe ( 
feir labour.
