XO BAITS.
quarter of an ounce of saltpetre to the pound of roe.
Let it stand another day and then spread it to dry.
When it becomes stiff put it in small pots, pouring
over each some melted mutton tallow. You can then
use a pot of preparation as you may want it for bait
It is excellent for trout, and indeed for almost any
fry in fresh water.
Angle-worms are thus prepared: Take a lot of
common moss and wash it in clean water, press it
until nearly dry, then put it in an earthen pot with
your worms. In a few days the worms will look
exceedingly bright, and be tough and active. If you
wish to preserve them longer, you have only to take
out the moss, wash it, sponge it, and return it to the
pot. Repeat this process every three or four days
and your worms will be in excellent condition as long
as you desire to keep them.
Pastes for Bait.—The English are famous for
paste baits, some of which are made as follows:
Shrimp paste is made from shrimps, being prepared
in every respect similar to the salmon-roe, before
given. Wheat, rye, barley and other grains, soaked
in water, and then boiled in milk, are good baits for
small fish in still water. Soft bread and honey,
kneaded together, is a good bait. Grated cheese
worked into paste with soft bread, honey, and saffron,
is frequently used. Tallow chandlers' scraps, fresh
icalded to separate the slimy particles—these particles are then mixed with clay and bran, and are a
good ground bait. It is only good when fresh jnade.
