- (continued from previous page)cradle and a stick was laid across in a way that when the bird hopped in to get the worms the cage would fall down and the bird was caught.
Basket: Long ago when people wanted to make a clothes basket they got rods called white sally and boile them. The rods were then peeled and woven into a basket.
- Snares: They would get a long sallie rod and make a circle of it with one sod running through the middle. They would get some hairs from a cows tail and make small snares and tie them on to the circular rod. They would bring them to a pile of weeds that would be thrown out of a meadow and when the yellow hammers would come eating the weeds they would get caught in the snares.
