HUNTING DOGS 



after his dog while running a rabbit; there is 

 where yon spoil him, for you must be cool in 

 mind. Then when your dog is running a rabbit 

 and night is coming on, don't go home until your 

 dog comes to you, or right there is Avhere your 

 dog will be discouraged. So when the day's 

 hunt is over you can go home with your dog by 

 your side. 



Wliile you are showing him what good he 

 did for you, if lie is wet and cold call him near 

 the stoA^e and dry him. For if a dog must lay 

 outside all wet, he will soon become stiff in his 

 limbs, and rheumatism will be seen at an early 

 age. Always after the day's hunt, give him all 

 he wants to eat. Don't have him too fat in hunt- 

 ing season, because he will tire out too easily.
