     There is a good deal to be said for taking your hounds frequently into 

the mountains�察�not so much for taking them on to cultivated land。��25�А�And 

for this reason�此�the fells offer facilities for hunting and for following the 

quarry without interruption�察�while cultivated land�察�owing to the number of 

cross roads and beaten paths�察�presents opportunities for neither。 Moreover�察�

quite apart from finding a hare�察�it is an excellent thing to take your dogs on 

to rough ground。 It is there they will become sound of foot�察�and in general 

the   benefit   to   their   physique   in   working   over   such   ground   will   amply 

repay you。��26�А�

     The tracks of hares are long in winter owing to the length of night�察�and 

short   for   the   opposite   reason   during   summer。   In   winter�察  �however�察  �their 

scent does   not   lie   in   early   morning�察  �when the   rime   is   on   the   ground�察  �or
