As to the colour proper for a hound�撮�23�А�it should not be simply tawny�察�
nor absolutely black or white�察 �which is not a sign of breeding�察 �but
monotonousa simplicity suggestive of the wild animal。��24�А�Accordingly
the red dog should show a bloom of white hair about the muzzle�察�and so
should the black�察 �the white commonly showing red。 On the top of the
thigh the hair should be straight and thick�察�as also on the loins and on the
lower portion of the stern�察�but of a moderate thickness only on the upper
parts。

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�
��25�А�Or�察 �pretty often�察�and less frequently over。;
��26�А�Lit。 ;they must be benefited in their bodies generally by working

They should be taken out in summer till mid´day�察 �in winter from

time before evening。 These times will hit the mean of temperature。��27�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
earth is frozen。��1�А�The fact is�察�hoar frost by its own inherent force absorbs
its heat�察�whilst black frost freezes it。��2�А�

The hounds�察�moreover�察�with their noses nipped by the cold�撮�3�А�cannot
under these conditions��4�А�use their sense of smell�察�until the sun or the mere
advance of day dissolves the scent。 Then the noses of the hounds recover�察�
and the scent of the trail begins to exhale itself perceptibly。��5�А�

moonwill dull its edge�察 �in fact the trail is rarestmost irregular��9��at

one footfall and another。 Or again�察 �the trail will become confused and
misleading when crossed by that of foxes。��11�А�

Spring with its tempered mildness is the season to render the scent
clear�察�except where possibly the soil�察�bursting with flowers�察�may mislead
the pack�察�by mingling the perfume of flowers with the true scent。��12�А�In
summer scent is thin and indistinct�察 �the earth being baked through and
through absorbs the thinner warmth inherent in the trail�察 �while the dogs
themselves are less keen scented at that season through the general
relaxation of their bodies。��13�А�In autumn scent lies clean�察�all the products
of the soil by that time�察�if cultivable�察�being already garnered�察�or�察�if wild�察�
withered away with age�察�so that the odours of various fruits are no longer a
disturbing cause through blowing on to the line。��14�А �In winter�察 �summer�察�
and autumn�察�moreover�察�as opposed to spring�察�the trail of a hare lies for the
most part in straight lines�察�but in the earlier season it is highly complicated�察�
for the little creatures are perpetually coupling and particularly at this
season�察 �so that of necessity as they roam together for the purpose they
make the line intricate as described。

the trail。;
The scent of the line leading to the hare's form lies longer than that of
a hare on the run�察�and for this reason�此�in proceeding to her form the hare
keeps stopping�撮�15�А�the other is in rapid motion�察�consequently�察�the ground
in one case is thickly saturated all along with scent�察�in the other sparsely
and superficially。 So�察�too�察�scent lies better in woody than on barren ground�察�
