TRAINING rOX HOUND PUPPIES. 



SELECT the most promising youngsters, and -when 

 they arefive iir six months old' tie a cord to a fox's pelt. 



and drag it for a few hundred yards

scent of the fox from their vcrv infancy. Ii 



liorse and drug the pelt for a mile or more, ino 



tance as they grow older riding well up among 



iricrthenion with whip and voice. When lbe.\ 



■j'P.ar old I secure a ]i%'ing fox and release iiiui in f 



broad meadow, giving bim only a few yards llie start, 



the chase may !)e a short one and that' thev uv.iv be sure to 



■catch him. This first taste of blood has a n')ar^,'eL .ns effect iu 



-the education of the youngster and will never be forgotten 



an after life. I repeat this as often as a fox ciui be bad for 



Ihfi purpose gi-ving Reynard more atari, as tbe jiuppies grow 



•older in order to prolong ll)e chase. I aci;ustom the 



horn from an early age, and thev soon learn its meai 



the steady old dog tliat i.s alwfiys v;ith them. I never per- 



jnit them to chase anything Imt "the (ox. .and very soou tbey 



■will not notice a Icue esveu tbougli she jumps up in their 



path. 1 nov in ■.vith meVhen I go out with the 



pack for a ]• _ .• keep them iu band and coupled 



until the fo.x i ,, •. , pressed, and tlien cast tUem oil 



so that they may oe in at the dealh, and yet not fatigued by 



too long a run. A dog is not fully matured until two years 



of age, and until that time should not bo permitted to "hunt 



-with the pack. 



Select only the fleetest and sleadiest animals to breed from, 

 and preserve only the most perfect anil promising young- 

 sters. Let the diet of the puppies after they aie six I'liontbs 

 of age consist principally of meat, as its tendency is to build 

 up muscle and Ikuic, not fat. Give only uuoLigli of milk and 

 vegetables to keep them in healtli. Never allow them at 

 any time to lay on much flesh. 



tiive them always plenty of exercise, kind treatment and 

 free access to pure, cold water. 



Now there maj- be more scientific methods of trainingyoimg- 

 sters thnn this, but under this system Hal and I ha-ve edu- 

 cated packs before whom a fox can seldom live three hours 

 above ground, and many have died in thirty minutes.

 the President of the Rfassachnsetts "Kennel Club, of Boston 

 and at a price which al tbat time was considered a hiMi fig- 

 ure. Mr. Pottk-r bad numerous biiches bred to Berklef while 

 the dog renuimed in his kennels, and his puppies are almost 

 invariably grand field dogs, and of fine form and color In 

 I'cbruary, 1880, Berkley was transferred to the kennels of 

 his present owner, Mr. A. Jloore, of Philadelphia, who paid 

 an almost ineredilile figure for the dog (about one thousand 

 dollars). Duck is one of the most noted Irish bitches now 

 living, ^^be is vnry stylish in field work, and many promi- 

 nent sporrsnien who are good jtidires consider her in every 

 wayoiie of Ibefine.st Irishbitehes ir/America. Duck waspur-

 foresight and judgment in the clioice. As soon as be learned

 booked for fir.st choice of Duc"k's first litter by Berkley, and 

 stating tbat he bad been I'.ng hoping for Ihe "opoortunitv, as 

 he considered this p-air the finest in the country." Afterward 

 Mr. AVeiJzelpaid a special visit to Boston to I'nake his selec-

IsstixoT OR Re/LSon— No. 2—Northfield, Tt., Dec. 14.— 

 IVIy English setter Ned, eight months old. is, I believe, the 



most intelligent dog I ever own^.'d. He seems to know just 

 what is.«aid tohim. He has bad but little training in' the 

 field, and yet the first lime f took bim out with a gun I 

 bagged four partridges, all ( f wbicli be worked up and pointed 

 as.staunchly asaii old do!2. He also letrieved at command 

 without any fimy business. It was siniplv done perfectly. 

 Of cotrrse he has had a pretty thorough se-hooling at boine, 

 but ho adapts that schooling to his field work so nicely that it 

 would please you to see him. I talk to him the same as I 

 would to a person, and the way he sits and listeus. with his 

 large, laugh mg eyes fixed on mine, is very comical . He 

 does many good and useful I ricks, one of which is to get the 

 old friencl of his " sisters, his cousins and his aunts," Forest 

 AND Stkeam, at the Post-olhce every Saturday. I believe 

 if every man who owns a sporting" dog would take more 

 pains to educated him ibe race wotilcf improve so much 

 that in ten years the result would lie surprising. One day last 

 week I Wfis detained at my office unusually long at noon- 

 time, and uoticed Ned was getting quite anxious to go to 

 dinner, but paid but little altentitm to him until he com- 

 menced pawing my leg. I turned around to speak to him 

 aud vvas surprised to find be bad brought l.ioth my overshoes 

 aud laid tbem at my feet. I put them on atid weiit home to 

 dinner immediately. ^Vho doubts tbat well bred dogs have 

 reasoning power '; I do not. andhave presented Ned with a 

 nice plated collar, which he delights in scratching, but always 

 sits down to do .so though. . Doc. 



Captain Williaji Rokhm ExofrERAXEn. — The Lancaster 

 Game Associal ion met in Alderman Spurrier's office, Tues- 

 day evening, the atlendanee being reasonably large. The 

 only item of public interest was the unanimous adoption of 



the following resolutiim : 



/iV.wfti«/. Tlial after duo investigation of the cliarses pre- 

 ferred against C;q:)tain Wilbam Roehm, of Quarryville, for 

 having failed to properly ]ireserve and protect "the c;ime 

 upon the grounds near i::,)iiarr\-ville, for the late meetimr of 

 the Pennsylvania Field Trial Association, we Itnd that "the 

 said charges are unfoimded ; tbat the conduct of AVm. 

 Roehm in the mtitter v,'as entirely consistent with the char- 

 acter of a true sportsman. 



The Forest AND Stbba.m takes pleasure in reprinting the 

 above from the Lancaster, Pa., Ncm Era. 



Dog C11AIX.S— A>w York, Dec. C— I have a grievance, 

 and a very grievous grievance it is too. I have lost ni}- Gor- 

 don dog because his chain broke aud lie trotied awtiy and 

 was nabhod by .some appreciative thief. Can't you fell us 

 dog lovers where we can get chains that are not as heavy as 

 an ox chain, and will yet hold a dog? If yon will try you 

 will find that a. very "moderate pull will stretch apart the 

 links of any fair siz"ed dog chain, even if it is nickel plated 

 and all fair to the eye. IHanhattas. 



The imported English dbg chains are the best. They can 

 be had of Schuyler & Duane., 189 Broadway, E. S. Harris, 

 177 Broadway and Hartley & Graham, 17 and 19 Maiden 

 Lane.

 turn. Mr. Abert'3 only Iiope is now that some brother sports- 

 man may see this notice and a.ssisthiui to recover the yoimg-
