deformities were conducted by the hu- 
man race, we might have a future gen- 
eration to be proud of. 
ROM my experience with hunting 
dogs the beagle hound tops the list, 
and he is being bred finer and better 
every day. He is here and he has come 
to stay; he is the most natural hunter, 
the happiest, merriest little companion 
that ever went afield; he loves his work, 
or play, as it is to him, and he does it 
with a vim and zest that removes all 
doubt and clears up the scowl on the 
face of the meanest grouch. 
A beagle is bred for type, nose, speed, 
ability to carry a line in scenting, coat 
(texture), color, voice, deportment. 
When these things are carefully fol- 
lowed, as a whole (if possible), or in- 
dividually, breeding from hunting stock, 
_ you will find that you can depend almost 
to a puppy that they will, when old 
enough (about six months), start to 
hunt with little or no training; hunt- 
ing is born in them and they are the 
only self-trained or self-made hunters 
‘that I know of among hunting dogs. 
The well-bred beagle will hunt from 
daylight till dark and the pleasure is 
all his; the clear ringing melody of 
his bark as he bounds over the ground 
sends the red blood coursing through 
your veins and makes life worth living; 
once you have listened in to a pack of 
beagles you become an addict. 
The beagle is purely a rabbit hound 
and he is fool proof against squirrels 
partridge (grouse), fox, skunk, cats 
and groundhogs; he will trail any kind 
of hare or rabbit—cotton tail, white 
hare in some locations called the snow- 
shoe rabbit, the little brown rabbit, and 
the German hare, with equal ability. 
HE beagle, “ye merrie little hound,” 
with its sweet disposition, its 
beautiful dreamy eyes and soft expres- 
sion is one of the most gentle and lov- 
able of all dogs; he is the ideal com- 
panion, single or in pack, for the lover 
of the great outdoors, and as a house- 
dog has no equal. Size has made him 
a favorite from a feeding and housing 
standpoint, and the ease with which he 
may be conveyed about the country. 
He is the largest dividend paying in- 
vestment I know of for the real man 
and his family who love dogs. 
Public field trials and bench shows 
have brought the beagle to a state of 
perfection in this country second to 
none as a sporting dog, and there is no 
other dog, hunting or otherwise, that 
has made the progress in the last ten 
years that the beagle has. 
The various beagle field and bench 
trials and shows, pretty well dis- 
tributed over the country, are well worth 
attending, and these clubs have accom-
