The Dogs Scent.



Whatever may be the natural seeming
properties Of dog, 1t is certain that a
great deal depends upon the nature OF the
land CROSSED. When hounds run over
some of those undrained sedgy fields so
often found in the neighbOrhood Of brooks
or rivers, they can gen rally push their
fox; but drained and dressed land is not
50 favorable. Then, again, as far as the
fox is conccrncd, 10 Is q common idea that
be leaves better scent behind him II be
be found and well hustled In covert before
making for the open, than Ifhe steal or I'M
perceived, In which event the scent Is
said to be Indifferent. Further. the scent
fails when fox is getting beaten; hence,
when fox starts up wind, aud is hardly
pressed at the outset, he not uncommOnly
reaps an advantage when he turns down
wind, for the twOfold reason that the
scent is fainter, and what there rs Is blown
on in advance OF the hounds. That scent
Is shifted by the wind no hunting man
needs 10 be told, and we once saw strik-
Ing Instance OF II. The Queens stag
hounds were 10 Burnham Beechos, whence
the deer came away into the opCn. and
ran IN the shape Of letter s. minute
or two later the pack came out Of the
wood, and, there being a side wind, the
hounds ran a letter :, as the stag had
done, Du about sixty yards TO the loft Of
the deer's actual line. Whether the scent
Of an animal comes from the contact Of
the feet with the ground, or from the
whole body, Is not an ascertained fact;
some say that the breath has something
10 do with 10. To the case Of the fox and
hare the body theory may receive support;
but with deer those who say that The
tread leaves the scent have a certain
amount Of reason on their side, as the
body is hisher than the noses Of the
hounds. n the atmosphere weighs down
scent, 80 10 speak, other observations
the steam from an engine, for example
seem 70 show that hounds win not run.
