If you do not attend to the kennel de- 

 partment yourself, but keep a huntsman, 

 the expense will be at least £300 more. 

 I have no hesitation in saying either four 

 times or twice a week are preferable to 

 three times ; either of the two former will 

 keep your horses and hounds in regular 

 work. I have only made my calculation
