[TRUST
NOT
THE
MAN
WHO
PROMISES
WITH
AN
OATH.]
2339.
To
Stuff
Birds,
Quadrupeds,
&c.
Large
animals
should
be
carefully
skinned,
with
the
horns,
skull,
tail,
hoofs,
&c.,
entire.
Then
rub
the
inside
of
the
skin
thoroughly
with
the
mixture
of
salt,
pepper,
and
alum,
and
hang
up
to
dry.
Large
birds
may
be
treated
in
the
same
way,
but
should
not
be
put
into
spirits.
2340.
Small
Birds
may
be
preserved
as
follows:
Take
out
the
entrails,
open
a
passage
to
the
brain,
which
should
be
scooped
out
through
the
mouth;
introduce
into
the
cavities
of
the
skull
and
the
whole
body,
some
of
the
mixture
of
salt,
alum,
and
pepper,
putting
some
through
the
gullet
and
whole
length
of
the
neck;
then
hang
the
bird
in
a
cool,
airy
place--first
by
the
feet,
that
the
body
may
be
impregnated
by
the
salt,
and
afterwards
by
a
thread
through
the
under
mandible
of
the
bill,
till
it
appears
to
be
free
from
smell;
then
hang
it
in
the
sun,
or
near
a
fire:
after
it
is
well
dried,
clean
out
what
remains
loose
of
the
mixture,
and
fill
the
cavity
of
the
body
with
wood,
oakum,
or
any
soft
substance,
and
pack
it
smooth
in
paper.

Birds'
Eggs.
In
selecting
eggs
for
a
cabinet,
always
choose
those
which
are
newly
laid;
make
a
medium-sized
hole
at
the
sharp
end
with
a
pointed
instrument,
and
one
at
the
blunt
end:
let
this
last
hole
be
as
small
as
possible;
this
done,
apply
your
mouth
to
the
blunt
end,
and
blow
the
contents
through
the
sharp
end.
If
the
yolk
will
not
come
freely,
run
a
pin
or
wire
up
into
the
egg,
and
stir
the
yolk
well
about;
now
get
a
cupful
of
water,
and
immersing
the
sharp
end
of
the
shell
into
it,
apply
your
mouth
to
the
blunt
end
and
suck
up
some
of
the
water
into
the
empty
shell;
then
put
your
finger
and
thumb
upon
the
two
holes,
shake
the
water
well
within,
and
after
this,
blow
it
out.
The
water
will
clear
the
egg
of
any
remains
of
yolk
or
of
white
which
may
stay
in
after
blowing.
If
one
injection
of
water
will
not
suffice,
make
a
second
or
third.
