Many have been taken away, What Is Red Ginseng their life's work well done, and the rest, though Oxford sees them walking its quads no more, still do her honour in " serving God in Church and State." C. Stein. Terriers for the Hunting Field. In these days of exorbitant prices given for fox-terriers, when breed- ing them for show purposes has been reduced almost to a science, it is interesting to reflect whether the modern standard of dog belies his origin. It was not until the end of the past century that the name of fox- terrier began to be popularly adopted, though in an old work on Englishe Dogges, by Dr. John Caius, of Cambridge, in 1576, he Ginseng Jelly speaks Ginkgo Biloba With Ginseng of the dogge called Terrar, in Latine Terrarius, ** as one that after the manner and custome of ferrets in searching for connyes, creepe into Ginko Ginseng the grounde, and by that means make afrayde the Foxe and the Badger." Without doubt the original breed of terriers (as their name implies), were in- tended to go Ginkgo Biloba Ginseng to earth for a What Is Panax Ginseng fox or bolt them from a What Is Korean Ginseng drain. Conse- quently they ought not to exceed 15 lbs. in weight, and for pluck and endurance should have a strain of " bull " in them. I think for real working purposes a wire- haired terrier, with a jacket as close and hard as some otter hounds possess, is the best. The greater number of present-day terriers* coats are far too woolly, being no protection against water and weather. I have seen the best dog of this breed I ever had swim for two or three hours, come out on the bank, shake himself, and in. a few Royal Ginseng minutes he would be as dry as a board. VOL. LXXI. — NO. 468. Too many modern fox-terrier owners appear to he mere pot- hunters, the absurdly large sums offered as prize money tending greatly to induce them to breed solely for the show bench, not for working purposes, which it is to be feared debases the breed. Most judges go to extremes in awarding honours to too narrow- fronted terriers, which n^ust be produced at a heavy sacrifice of power and strength. On this account that distinguished Devon- shire sportsman, the late Rev. " Ginseng In Korea Jack " Russell, a breeder of some of the gamest terriers which ever existed for hunting purposes, could never be induced to show them, as he did not believe the bench to be at all consistent with a terrier's capacity for work. Mr. Cecil Archer, of Minehead, still possesses Ginkgo And Ginseng some of the old ** Rus- sell " blood, and maintains that he has never seen their equal with either fox, otter, or badger. This famous strain is never docked, as Mr. Russell would not countenance it in his kennel. It is a matter to deplore that the terrier is now so little used in actual fox-hunting, of which for- merly it was the ordinary accom- paniment. The reasons, I think, are not ikr to seek. Foxes are not now nearly so often dug for as in the old days, and M.F.H.*s found alas ! that terriers were very seldom steady, frequently causing a riot. 8 94 BAILY S MAGAZINE. [FlBRVAET »1 There are, Ginko And Ginseng however, very few terriers indeed that will face a fox under ground. This requires real grit, and a dog prepared to take heavy punishment. As in the What Is Siberian Ginseng case of badger - digging a terrier that knows his work should only Ginseng Oil give tongue, doing his utmost to bolt the fox by an attack on his hind quarters. The con- tingency of a hard - bitten dog standing up to his quarry, jowl by jowl (whilst they are being dug out) would militate against him being used in the hunting-field. Hounds naturally are Ginseng And Ginkgo Biloba the first consideration, to which everything else must give way. It seems a great pity that now, when so many terriers are annually bred, there is no show where one can judge of the dog at work in contra-distinction to his points on the bench. Such an exhibition, I believe, would be most popular, and undoubtedly induce owners to breed a more sportsmanlike class of dog. Philocunos. Gaudeamus Igitur.

What's a year to a man, on a day such as Ginkgo Biloba And Ginseng this is ? The scenes of past seasons, the care and the fret ?

Who cares how the thickest of blackthorns may blind us To the wide-spreading view of the breadth of the shire ; And the emerald pasture-land, dotted behind us
