TAke fine chilter wheat, and give them water thrice a day, morning, noon, and night, which will do very ef∣fectually; but if you intend to have them extraordinary crammed fowl, then you shall take the finest drest wheat-meal, and mixing it with milk, make it into paste, and ever as you knead it, sprinkle into it the grains of small chilter-wheat, till the paste be fully mixt therewith, then make lit∣tle small crams thereof, and dipping them in water, give to every fowl according to his bigness, and that his gorge be well filled: do thus as oft as you shall finde their gorges empty, and in one fornight they will be fed beyond mea∣sure: and with these crams you may feed any fowl of what kinde or nature soever.

Otherwayes.

Feed them with good wheat and water, given them thrice a day, morning, noon, and night. If you will have them very fat and crammed fowl, take fine wheat-meal and mix it with milk and make it into paste, and as you knead it put in some corn of wheat sprinkled in amongst the paste,

till the paste be fully mixt therewith, then make little small cra••s thereof, and dipping them in water, give to every fowl according to his bigness, and that his gorge be well fil∣led: do thus as oft as you shall finde their gorges empty, and in one fortnight they will be fed very fat, with these crams you may feed any fowl of what kinde or nature soever.
