then better, the hound should have 
“opened” as this one did and as the trail 
got hotter she would have gone into a 
drive as this one did. 
HAVE seen a hound put down upon 
a cold trail with another. One hound 
would open up and run it, the other 
would run behind aways, not uttering 
a sound and turn back saying, “he’s a 
liar.” A liar is a hound that runs any 
track cold or hot with equal ability. A 
true hound says little or nothing unless 
it’s a hot trail with game somewhere on 
it. He will run an uncertain trail 
“mute” until he is positive that game 
has gone over it recently and can be 
gotten up, and hounds get very pro- 
ficient in this work. They become 
shrewd and skillful. 
Scientific conditions is a wonderful 
study and after you have gone thor- 
oughly into this department of beag- 
ling, you will readily see that a dog 
must be bred with brains and skill to 
get first hand and at a glance, almost 
miraculously, the exact conditions of 
his trail, taking into consideration the 
kind of day, the time of day, the 
weather, the time of year, the condition 
of the ground he is running on, the 
kind of ground he is running on, etc., 
to run down his quarry in an accurate 
and definite manner. 
True, it appears easy to a dog. Why? 
Why can an expert or trained account- 
ant add five columns of figures as well 
or better than I can add one? The dog 
has been a student of nature, so if you 
have a good dog let me warn you again, 
let him alone. He is more times right 
than you are. Don’t try to send him 
where you think he should go. Just 
try hunting with the dog awhile. I]. 
have found it very satisfactory. It 
will surprise you to know what a dog 
really does know if you let him get a 
word in edgewise sometime.
