112 OUR PUPPIES 



impossible to rear a puppy of any description. Fox- 

 hound, collie, or terrier all fall victims to an incurable 

 form of this disease. Yet I can safely say that I have 

 never lost a single foxhound puppy from this cause, 

 and have had no case of yellows here for the last 

 twelve years ; and this immunity I attribute to the 

 use of scalded milk from the very first. 



Most sportsmen who are members of a hunt profess 

 to take an interest in the pack which they follow ; in 

 no way can they evince that interest so well as by 

 walking a puppy — or, better still, a couple — for the 

 Master. If they do, they will become aware of an 

 added interest, and one which invests a visit to the 

 kennels with a new pleasure. And surely all followers 

 of a hunt who are in a position to do so should make 

 a point of walking a puppy, instead of relying almost 

 entirely on the farmers — so many of whom do not 

 hunt — for assistance in this matter of keeping up 

 their pack.
