The kennel should be located in adry and warm situation^ and it is of great importance that it belocated on a clay soil. If located on a gravelly or porous soil,from which vapors are continually rising to dampen the building,the dogs will be attacked with rheumatism, known as ^kennellameness. The dogs should never be washed in the eveningafter the days hunt, but on the day following. Where a deepsuper-soil of clay cannot be found, one or two layers of bricks orstone may line the floor. A clean bed of straw should be allowedevery second day, or oftener when the weather is vet. Thelodging house should be sealed, and there should be shutters onthe windows. Stoves should not be used in kennels. By lying-together, dogs will keep warm in a correctly-built kennel. Theplans of the kennel may be left to the good judgment of theowner.
