d Hawks_ is about
the middle of _April_, and _March_ for the _Short-Winged Hawks_. There
are two kinds of Mewings. 1. _At the stock or stone_; so called from its
being low upon the ground, free from Noise, Vermin or ill Air. 2. _At
large_; so called from being in a high Room, with open Windows towards
the _North_ or _North-East_. The former is accounted the best Mewing.
I shall not insist on the erecting or ordering of this Mew, leaving that
to the Discretion of the Faulconer; only before he mews his _Hawk_, see
if they have _Lice_, to pepper and scowre them too. The best _time to
draw _the Field_-Hawk from the Mew_, is in _June_, and she will be ready
to fly in _August_; the Hawks for the River in _August_, will be ready
in _September_. And because _Hawks_ are subject to divers Infirmities
and Diseases, I shall prescribe some Remedies, and so Conclude.

_Cures for Hawks Diseases._

The good Faulconer ought diligently to observe the Complexions of his
_Hawks Castings_ and _Mewtings_, to judge of their Maladies, and is
prescribed by some as an excellent way; and is indeed so; but an assured
sign of knowing whether they are sick or distempered is this. Take your
_Hawk_, turning up her Train, if you see her Tuel or Fundiment swelleth,
or looketh red; Or, if her Eyes or Eares be of a fiery Complexion, it is
an infallible sign of her being not well and in good health; and then
Scouring is necessary first; which is done by the most Soveraign _Aloes
Cicatrine_, about the quantity of a Bean, wrapt up in her Meat; and this
avoids Grease, and kills Wormes too.

_For the Cataract_: Take one Scruple of washt _Aloes_ finely beaten, and
two Scruples of _Sugar-candy_, mix these together, and with a Quil blow
it three or four times a day into your _Hawks_ Eye.

_Pantus_ or _Asthma_: Pour the Oyl of sweet _Almonds_ into a Chickens
Gutt, well washt, and give it the _Hawk_: Or, scower her with
_Sellandine_-Pellets, and Oyle of _Roses_, and then wash her meat in the
Decoction of _Coltsfoot_.

_Filanders_ or _Wormes_: To prevent them, seeing your Hawk low and poor,
give her once a month a Clove of _Garlick_. To cure or kill them; take
half a dozen Cloves of _Garlick_, boyle them very tender in _Milk_, then
take them and dry the Milk out of them; put them into a spoonful of the
best _Oyle of Olives_, and having steept them all Night, give them both
to your Hawk, when she has cast, in the morning; feed her not til two
hours after, and
