One who slaughters a beast or a fowl on Yom Tov — Beis Shammai say: He may dig with a spade and cover [the blood]. But Beis Hillel say: He may not slaughter, unless he had earth prepared from the day before. But they agree that if he already slaughtered, he should dig with a spade and cover [the blood with earth] — for the ashes of a stove are [considered] prepared.

Beis Shammai say: We may not move the ladder from one dovecote to another, but may lean it from one window to another. But Beis Hillel permit it. Beis Shammai say: One should not take [doves out of the dovecote on Yom Tov] unless one had held them before Yom Tov. But Beis Hillel say: He may stand and say, ‘‘This one and that one I will take.’’
