Hawk with a piece of Cork, about the 
breadth of one band: and of the wing fea¬ 
thers of Poultry, to fix into it two wings 
and a tail, that being hang’d aloft by a 
Imall Wire of about four Yards in length, 
fixed in the head of your Hawk, the other 
end on the top of a long (lender rod or 
pole, fixed or fet up in the middle of the 
Tree, that the Hawk may be clear of all 
boughs: Thus will every breath of Wind, 
mount your Hawk, which will play in the 
Air and make its Stoops, (o that not a Bird 
will fettle on the Tree, under, or near it. 
This far exceeds all Clacks and other de¬ 
vices to fcare away the bold Bulfinch, or 
the other timorous fmall Birds. 
There are many other Difeafesand Infir¬ 
mities incident to Fruit-trees and Fruits, 
but thefe are the principal and mod: injuri¬ 
ous, and moft difficult to cure.
