2Z THOUGHTS UPON HUNTIIS'G. 



The reft of the kennel confifls of a large court 

 in front, which is alfo bricked, having a grafs- 

 court adjoining, and a little brook running 

 through the middle of it. The earth that was 

 taken out of it is thrown up into a mount, where 

 the hounds in lummer dehght to fit. This court 

 is planted round with trees, and has, befides, a 

 lime tree, and fome horfe chcfnut trees near the 

 niiddle of it, for the fake of fhade. A high pale 

 inclofes the whole ; part of which, to the height 

 of about four feet, is clofe ; the other open ; the 

 intcrftices are about two inches wide. The grafs- 

 rourt is pitched near the pale, to prevent the 

 hcun is from fcratching out. If you cannot guefs 

 the intention of the pofis which you fee in the 

 courts, there is fcarcely an inn window on any 

 road, where the following line \vill not let you 

 into the fecret : 



** So dogs will p— where dogs have p — -d before." 



This is done to fave the trees, to which the 

 urinary (idts are prejudicial. If they be at firft 

 backward in coming to them, bind tome ftraw 

 roiind the bottom, and rul) it with galbanura. 

 The brook in the grafs-court may ferve as a 

 flew : your fifh will be very i'dfc* 



* It may alfo be ufed as a cold bath for fuch hounds as fland 

 in need of it. For lamenefs in the flifle, and for ftrains, it will 

 be found cf fervice.
