INTRODUCTORY TO PART TWO 



Stanley Blake, the author of Part Two of this volume, 

 was born in Ohio, removing to Cincinnati to engage in a 

 profession when but a young man. Since his early youth 

 he has been a hunter of note, having hunted in all parts of 

 the United States, both large and small game of all kinds. 

 Always very fond of dogs, it was natural that he should 

 own and breed some of the best dogs America has produced. 

 In his early career, he owned and operated the High- 

 land Kennels, at Newport, Kentucky, later removing to 

 Berry, Kentucky, where he now operates the largest hunt- 

 ing-dog kennels in the world, shipping more dogs than all 

 other kennels in this country combined, THE BLUE 

 GRASS FARM KENNELS, OP BERRY, KY. 



He served in the Spanish-American war, and has widely 

 traveled in our island possessions and Mexico. He has 

 been all over the United States and knows hunting condi- 

 tions, as a whole, probably better than any other American. 



He takes a keen interest in everything pertaining to 

 the outdoors, and aside from running the largest kennels 

 in the world, engages in scientific farming and stock-raising. 

 Starting in business on practically nothing, he has made a 

 phenomenal success.
