than one dog is kept, a regular kennel and yard should be prepared. 

 A capital idea of their arrangement can be had from these plans, 

 which are copied from those of Mr. Jesse Starr, Jr., of Camden, N. J. 



Further instruction on the subjects here treated of will be found 

 in such exhaustive works as Dinks, Mayhew, and Hutchinson, or 

 " Stonehenge," or "Idstone"; or, in America, Mr. Arnold Burges's 

 " American Kennel and Sporting Field." Mr. Edward Laverack 

 the oldest breeder in England, has written a work devoted to the 

 discussion of the setter alone, in which are many valuable hints to 

 the breeder and breaker. 



No dogs possess greater intelligence or more excellent dis- 

 positions than those used by sportsmen, and where careful educa- 

 tion has developed them to a high degree, they are fitted in every 

 respect to be the trusted and beloved companions of man.
