TRAINING BEAGLES. 

 I.dii.,, Forest and Stream: 



In compliance with the request ur ^ooiilton," in, laal 

 Forest lkd Stream 1 will give a few Suggestions that may aid 

 him in training In- beagle. 



I usual!} commence to hum mj puppies at fromsucto 

 eight months old, :iltU<»mrli some will hunl younger It is 

 alinost useless to take out young flogs unless the conditions 

 are favorable, so J select a good time when the ground or 

 snow iE Samp, and it there is any wind prefer a aontnerly one, 

 , 1 lie better than in a cold, dry wind, and the time 

 at flaj 1 prefer a the tore part ofevening, forttaen hares cotae 

 oul bo feed, and Ufcrapples strike a trail they wilLnol have to 

 follow it far to start their game, which they might have to do 



if taken out in the morning after game had I n running over 



ground all night and I ■ • t i nmiij trails to confuse and mislead a 

 When 1 arrive at ground 1 wish to hunt I sit 

 down and let puppies range off, and at first they will go only 

 a short distance before tbey will return, and it they find von 

 . where tbey left you. the nest tune they will be 

 gone longer and range wider, feeling that you will wan to 

 them to return. H yon keep walking, as many do. they aro 

 .i'iai.1 ..: I. g left if thev work off. so simply follow at heel, 



so 1 -it -tilt until tbey bave been on several times and faded 

 to -tart, when 1 change nrj location and wait us before, and 

 when t bey do start game ii i- rare t ha) I assist I le-ni if puzzled 

 toil ... to place where they lost trail, so thev will know I have 

 not left them and let them work it out and start afresh, 



l," they start game and 1 shoot it, I go up to it and stand 

 until dogs come up and find it. and if they show any dispoai- 

 i ...I, to tear or eat game, check them. 



While it is not necessary to have an old dog, and 1 rarelv 

 use one in breaking' in puppies, it may expedite matters to 



take one oul until young dogs know what game is. alter that 

 I leal e bun at home, Cor 1 want mv puppies to be self-reliant 

 and UOt dependon old dogs starting game, as they are liable 

 bo do if hunted with broken dog.-. 



I sometimes take a hare out into an open field fifteen or 

 i ecu, v rods from cover and put It dowu in sight of puppies, 

 !.ni ave it start enough so that it can reach cover and give 

 II, em e chase; it will teach them what game is. 



I will here siv that main a pnppv that woidd n-' 

 it called np where a b-vre had been seen to oroS8,rwould in- 

 stanll.s follow trail If tbey bad started game I hem 

 not condemns puppy beoausehe has failed to follow some 

 nail thai he .vas called up to, for ii is nothing unusual for 

 young puppies to no! pay the least attention to such trails. 



If •■Hamilton" will tollow these hastily writ i en suggestions, 

 [think .i- will not lmve any difficulty iu breaking his young

THE .-SHOOTING OF FLORA. -Hacked -I own. N. Y.- 

 Editor Forest and Stream: Please insert la column of deaths 



notice Of my Flora, black and white English setter bitch. 

 Cause, shot by a neighbor She had onlv been off the chain 

 about one half hour for her morning exercise, not having been 

 loose for several days: passed out into the street aud into a 

 neighbor's yard only three doors awa\ , and was brutally shot 

 and buried'mside of teu minutes n iter she passed out into the 

 street. I found it out immediately and saw the person who 

 shot her. When I asked why he killed her. he said "She was 

 chasing my chickens and I "shot her." 1 said "Couldn't vou 

 have driven her away without killing horr" "The answer 

 was. 1 didn't choose to doBO." Happily there is some law in 

 Jersey that suitable to his case, and Jersey justice is pro- 

 vci-biiil. and he shall get the f„\\ benefit thereof. Fortunately 

 I kept my two Druid- Poetess puppies tied that morning, or 

 perhaps ft might have been one or both of them. Wehavea 

 number of well bred setters here, and the matter has raised a 

 stir of indignation. — Tab. f.. smith.
