10 HUNTING. 



up rather large, but can be divided and two pilk 

 given instead of one. 



To be made up into 8 pills with syrup, one to be 

 given every morning fasting. 



Feed your hounds each one according to his 

 constitution, and so that they may run well 

 together. 



Feed cold and thick ; but after hunting- luke- 

 warm, with a moderate quantity of flesh, but the 

 less the better and be very careful indeed about the 

 broth, which is apt to turn sour if left in the copper. 



Take care your oatmeal is good old meal. 

 New meal ferments and makes hounds purge. It 

 should be thoroughly well boiled and become as 

 hard as a rock after being poured into the coolers. 



In summer feed thin, plenty of vegetables, 

 young nettles, &c., should be given, and sometimes 

 use biscuits instead of oatmeal for a change. 



Don't wash your hounds, use brushes and hair 

 gloves. As your young hounds come in from walk 

 keep them separate from the pack and watch them 

 carefully in case of any infection or rabies. Round 

 them and physic and dress them in due time, and 

 get the couples on them as soon as you can and 

 walk them out on foot till they are ready to go to 

 exercise with the pack.
