ADVICE ON FOX-HUNTING 



doubtless think is a clever and facetious 

 speech. 



When the hunting season is over, and 

 your young hounds will go pretty quietly 

 without couples, get on the hacks and have 

 the old hounds also out. I do not mean to 

 fast exercise, but long walking exercise, 

 keeping under the trees and in the shade 

 as much as possible. Anything is better for 

 hounds than lying all day on the hot flags. 

 Give some boiled vegetables in the old 

 hounds' food this time of year. Young 

 nettles gathered before they get tough and 

 stingy are as good as anything. The young 

 hounds will do very well on navy ship 

 biscuits soaked and mixed with some good 

 broth.
