dog and some wire netting do the rest
The dog Is trained TO act Ike a fox,
and the wild ducks congregate In large
numbers to frighten 1t away from a
screen over which It runs back and
forth. The ducks keep up a consta Mt
Quscking, and the dog retreats, being
pursued until the trapped fowl are
caught in the network. with a portion
dropped over the opening TO prevent
their escape. At certain seasons OF
the year thousands of wild ducks fire.
quent the fen districts, and these traps
have been used very successfully to
provide game for some Of the large
preserves.-Harpers.

never been allowed to catch the spit
