demned horses are not always to be discovered, and may be 
dangerous to others; the hounds may also be brought into 
this field to empty themselves after feeding; and the draft 
for the next day’s hunting can be here made with greater 
accuracy than when confined in the kennel. 
Should ticks at any time be troublesome, the walls of the 
kennel should be well washed; if that does not destroy 
them, white-washing should then be adopted. 
When the hunting season is over, one kennel will suffice; 
the other, with the grass-yard adjoining to it, may be 
allowed to the young hounds. This separation, which should 
continue till the season commences, is necessary, as it pre¬ 
vents many accidents which might happen at this time of 
the year. Should there be conveniences, the dogs being 
kept separate from the bitches during the summer months, 
will be all the better. When hounds are very riotous, the 
feeder may sleep in a cot in the adjoining kennel : if well 
chastised at the first quarrel, his voice will be sufficient 
afterwards.

DIFFERENT DOGS, USED IN FIELD-SPORTS AND FOR DOMESTIC 
PURPOSES, WATCH-DOGS, ETC. 
I have already said that dogs, in all their varieties of form, 
are but one species, modified and altered by adventitious 
circumstances. Climate, feeding, crossing one breed with 
another, accident, and education, all combining to give that 
almost infinite variety of form and intelligence now to be met
