Training the Beagle 
Notes on-the ‘‘Merry Little Hound”?

BEAGLE will furnish more good 
A hours of sport than any other 
hunting dog.

Game birds are 
were years ago, and the season on 
them is open only for a few weeks, 
but in most every little patch of brush 
you can find a rabbit or two ready for 
a run with that “merry little hound,” 
the beagle. 
The every-day-man of average purse 
who loves to go afield with dog and 
gun has always to consider the cost 
of purchasing a dog. You can buy a 
beagle for one-quarter the price of a 
setter or pointer. There is also an ad- 
vantage in owning a small dog to both 
the city and country sportsman, for 
you can keep a beagle in a city flat or 
small yard that would be quite im- 
possible for one of the larger breeds. 
It costs very little to feed a beagle. 
The scraps from the table of an aver- 
age family will take care of two or 
three as it affords a variety of food 
that will keep them in the pink of 
condition. 
The man who 
has once owned a 
beagle is never 
quite happy with- 
out, [ones len es 
have such happy 
dispositions and 
are at once so ami- 
able and full of 
pep and are such 
sturdy little work- 
men in the field 
that they make 
ideal companions 
both at home and 
in the field.

ject and of them 
all I consider 
“Hounds and Bea- 
gles” the ) most 
practical; however, 
many old _ timers 
who read this ar- 
ticle have © well 
formed ideas of 
their own on the 
training question 
and I will not at- 
tempt to go into 
all of the details 
of the art. I will simply try to ex- 
plain, to some,of the younger readers 
of ForREST AND STREAM, the methods 
which I follow as a result of more 
than twenty years’ experience with 
what I consider to be the most charm- 
ing and useful member of the: hound 
family.

I prefer a pup born in the spring, 
as it gives time to yard-train the pup 
in the summer months so that when 
Fall comes the pup is ready to start 
in the woods. It takes a lot of time 
and patience to train a pup and the 
best way is teach one thing at a time. 
HE main idea is to make the pup 
mind, but use the whip as little 
as possible and remember that a kind 
word will do more than a whip nine 
times out of ten. First be sure the 
pup understands what you wish him 
to do and then get him to do it. 
It is a pleasure to hunt with a well 
trained dog, but a day’s sport can be
