TO HUNTSMEN 



some nice warm broth over them, and it 

 certainly makes them look well the next 

 day. Always have two lodging-rooms for 

 your hunting pack : put them in one 

 directly after feeding, and shift them into 

 another for the rest of the night in about 

 an hour and a half's time. This will prevent 

 a lot of kennel lameness, which is really 

 rheumatism. 



In breeding I see no reason why preg- 

 nant bitches should not run with the pack 

 if you are at all short: of course, they 

 must be stopped in good time. They 

 should then be turned out of the kennel 

 and given their liberty all day. I know this 

 causes some complaint if the kennels are 

 near a village, as these old ladies are sad
