A novel method Of capturing wild
ducks is used in England. On small
lakes where the ducks are apt to stop
for n short time n few tame ducks are
kept rs dccoys, and n well trained
dog and some wire netting do the rest.
The dog is trained to act like fox,
and the wild ducks congregate In large
numbers to frighten 1t away from n
screen over which II runs back and
forth. The ducks keep up constant
quacliing, and the dog retreats, being
pursued until the trapped fowl are
caught in the network. with q portion

their escape. At certain seasons or
