Text Appearing Before Image:
THE WILD i)i:ci-:. been invented to catch the poor ducks by decoying them into a snare. Some-times tame ducks are trained to watch for a flock, and to allure them into anet that is held open at one end a little like the tilt of a cart. The fowler isclose by, and as soon as the net is full enough, he draws the end together, soas to shut it up, and catch all the ducks.
Text Appearing After Image:
THE ILlDEi; DUCK. THE EIDER DUCK. 25: The eider duck is a native of the Arctic seas, and is found in great abundancealong the shores of Iceland, Greenland, Lapland, and in Hudsons and BaffinsBays. In the cold countries where the eider duck lives, its flesh is used forfood, but we should think it had a rank and unpleasant taste. Eider down is an article of commerce, and much in request to make intoquilts and articles of clothing.
