among sportsmen, a machine for driving pheasant-powts, consisting of good strong ozier-wands, such such as the basket-makers use; these are to be set in a handle, and twisted or bound with small oziers in two or three places.

With this instrument, the sportsman drives whole eyes of young powts into his nets. See the next article.
