In selecting a bird try to secure a
brancher, that is, bird that has been long
enough out of the nest to hop from limb to
limb, but is as yet incapable of flight and
consequently unable to provide for its own
wants. Paupers are always servile. and as
this young bird mustiive upon your charity
he Will be more easily tanned than a bag
gard, that is, full grown bird that is per
fectly competent to hunt for himself and
supply his own wants, and is consequently
Independent, and, under restraint fierce
and savage. Young birds that have inst
left their wild cradle on rock or treetop are
called eysas, and are the most easily tanned
and trained; but they are apt to lack the
strength and audacity of the brancher or
the haggard.
The brancher may be caught by the lure
Of pigeon or quail, and the haggard by
means of a decoy and a net. There is a
deadly enmity between the hawks and their
nocturnal rivals, the owls, and hence an
owl is frequently used as a decoy to induce
the haggsrds to swoop down for the oppor-
tunity of blow at their hated enemy A
tame hawk or falcon also makes an excel
lent decoy for his wild brothers.
In the early spring hawks nests can be
found within twenty minutes journey by
rail or ferry from New York CITY. and
young ones procured, which viii prove in
terestlng pets to those who care to bestow
Tune upon them. Should a demand for
young or trained birds arise, there are
plenty of dealers in birds and animals who
would hasten to supply the market with
both the domestic and imported article !:
but il any of the readers of this paper seri
ously think of trying their hand at hawk
ing, they will enjoy the sport the more and
understand their. birds the better if thew
rear and train them by their own hand.
Hawks and falcons, being of wild and vi
olent natures, are at first insensible tn
both punishment and caresses; hence with
an intractable bird want of light and food
Is the only punishment that will affect it,
and it is of the utmost Importance that the
same person should always administer its
food and care for the girds welfare. Hav
ing secured brancher, shackle its legs
with the supple thongs of straps called be-
wit; the bewits usually terminate with
bells With an old army buckskin gaunt
let protect your hand and wrist, place the
bird upon your guantleted wrist, and carry
it about with you night and day, giving it
no opportunity for rest. If your falcon or
hawk tries to bite and fight you, douse his
his head into apail of cold water, and it will
quiet him, and then put on the leather
hood, which will keep him in complete
darkness. Three days and nights

OF this will make the wild est
falcon inclined to be docile to
a certain extent. Next teach the bird to
take its FOOD quietly, allowing no futter-
ing, fighting or undue excitement during
its meal. Feed it with your hand and
never do SO without whistling or giving
the peculiar CALL whatever it may be, by
which you intend to summon the bird in
the future, when you wish it to resume it's
perch upon your wrist 1t will by this
means learn to recognize the call, and asso-
ciating the noise with food, and food with
its perch upon your gauntlet, will always
fly for your wrist when you call. Familiar
