The Fox Hound-He's all Right.

There are many who have an aver
sion-a hatred, for the fox hound and
who can not understand or imagine
why some admire him and take such
delight in the chase. This is particular
ly true where sport and passtime are
measured by the taste of those who
have never heard well trained pack
in hot pursuit of an old red and whose
estimate of this breed of dogs is based
on the worthless specimens and not on
the merits of the best. Possibly no
other family of dogs has given so much
real service to man or more trouble to
wild animals. From earliest days Of
our country the hound has been active
and persistent in riding the country Of
obnoxious animals ard doing a valuable
service for those who hold him in dis
favor. The bear, the deer and many
others have disappeared by the aid he
has given, the last one to hold the caves
and circle the cliffs being the fox. It
is not likely that he can be driven from
the country or be exterminated for
many years, but his providing and de-
predatious on the countryman's inter
ests- are growing less each year.
Should the hound be hushed, the chase
discontinued, the price of barn-yard
towels would advance on the markets
due to reduced supply.
The pleasure of the chase can not
be given to an uninterested party.
Like classic music the ear must be
trained for its melodies and when this
has been accomplished the broad field
of flight and pursuit, the mouth of
Bluegrass, the daring leaps of Skip.
the voice of Toney and Old Jim, in his
young days. The snappy mounting of
Annie and Mona as they speed like cam
non balls, the thunder tones of Gus
close on the heels of Diamond and
Queen, the echoes of old Mule-head as
he presses his claims, the mellow
voice of old Ton, backed up by Ned,
the whole chase enlivened by Mama and
Tip, Clip and Top opens for desperate
dash-all mixing and mingling like a
modern choir, in the woods and fields
when all nature seems to be intently
listening in silent rapture, is bound to
awaken the keenest interest and give
charm that no other innocent sport
possesses.
To hear your dog lead the chase
Is bound to wheaton up your taste.
To know his trailing in the rear
Brings an excuse mighty queer.
Though simple, folly it may appear
It's going on from year to year
And when the fox fails to run
Then, then only will end the fun.
True there are worthless hounds, too
many failing to measure up the true
instincts and possibilities for which they
were created, but we'll breed hound
properly reared and trained will not be
a scavenger nor pest but useful and
reliable. AS a rule the hound is the
hardest worker of all the CANNES and
should be feed accordingly and when
such due attention and full compensa-
ton are given he will not modest the
kitchen and will be as aimable as a
worthless bird dog. The hound is all
right and worth his board which is far
! in advance of some others.
