     The    equipment      of  the   dogs    consists   of  collar   straps�察  �leashes�察  �and 

surcingles�撮�1�А�and the collar should be broad and soft so as not to rub the 

dog's coat�察�the leash should have a noose for the hand�撮�2�А�and nothing else。 

The plan of making collar and leash all in one is a clumsy contrivance for 

keeping a hound in check。��3�А�The surcingle should be broad in the thongs 

so   as   not   to   gall   the   hound's   flanks�察  �and   with   spurs   stitched   on   to   the 

leather�察�to preserve the purity of the breed。��4�А�

     As to taking the hounds out to hunt�察�no hound ought to be taken out 

which   refuses   its   food�察  �a   conclusive   proof   that the   animal   is   ailing。   Nor 

again�察�when a violent wind is blowing�察�for three good reasons�此�the scent 

will   not   lie�察  �the   hounds   cannot   smell�撮�5�А  �neither   the   nets   nor   hayes   will 

stand。 In the absence�察�however�察�of any of these hindrances�察�take them out 

every other day。��6�А�Do not let your hounds get into the habit of hunting 

foxes。 Nothing is so ruinous�察�and just at the moment when you want them�察�

they will not be forthcoming。 On the other hand�察�vary the hunting´ground 

in taking them out�察�which will give the pack a wider experience in hunting 

and   their   master   a   better   knowledge   of   the   country。  The   start   should   be 

early in the morning�察�unless the scent is to fail the hounds entirely。��7�А�The 

dilatory sportsman robs the pack of finding and himself of profit。��8�А�Subtle

the huntsman of his reward。; 

     The net´keeper should wear a light costume。 His business is to fix the 

nets   about   the   runs�撮�9�А  �paths�察  �bends�察  �and   hollows�察  �and   darksome   spots�察�

brooks�察�dry torrents�察�or perennial mountain streams。 These are the places 

to   which   the   hare   chiefly   betakes   itself   for   refuge�察  �though   there   are   of 

course   endless   others。 These�察  �and   the   side   passages   into�察  �and   exits   from 

them�察  �whether   well   marked   or   ill   defined�察  �are   to   be   stopped   just   as   day 

breaks�察    �not    too   early�察  �so   that�察  �in   case   the   line   of   nets    be   in  the 

neighbourhood of covert to be searched for game�撮�10�А�the animal may not 

be scared at hearing the thud close by。��11�А�If�察�on the contrary�察�there should 

be a wide gap between the two points�察�there is less to hinder making the 

net lines   clear   and   clean   quite   early�察 �so   that   nothing   may   cling   to   them。 

The keeper must fix the forked props slantwise�察�so as to stand the strain 

when subjected to tension。 He must attach the nooses equally on the points�察�

and see that the props are regularly fixed�察�raising the pouch towards the 

middle�撮�12�А  �and   into   the   slip´rope   he   must   insert   a   large�察  �long   stone�察  �to 

prevent the net from stretching in the opposite direction�察�when it has got 

the    hare   inside。    He   will   fix  the   rows    of   poles   with    stretches    of  net 

sufficiently high to prevent the creature leaping over。��13�А�In hunting�察 �no 

procrastination; should be the motto�察�since it is sportsmanlike at once and 

a proof of energy by all means to effect a capture quickly。 He will stretch 

the larger ��haye�� nets upon level spaces�察�and proceed to plant the road nets 

upon roads and at converging points of tracks and footpaths�撮�14�А�he must 

attach   the   border´ropes   to   the   ground�察  �draw   together   the   elbows   or   side 

ends of the nets�察�fix the forked props between the upper meshes�撮�15�А�adjust 

the skirting ropes upon the tops�察�and close up gaps。
