Secretaries of Hunts, and Tenant Farmers throughout the United Kingdom form the apology for the appearance of this the 14th annual edition of the Foxhunters' ^'Vade Mecum " The 1912 edition contains some hints on "The Removal of Barbed Wire," which in many countries may be found very useful ; notes on Hunt and other subjects, which cannot fail to be of advantage to all in- terested in agriculture and hunting, more especially to the many who carry the Guide in their pockets for constant reference. Wages, Marketing, and Breeders' Tables are added at the request of an influential section of the agricultural community. There are also a few notes on those admirable institutions, the Hunt Servants' Benefit Society, and the Royal Agric- ultural Benevolent Institution, which it is the duty ofevery hunting man and woman to support. The * ' Vade Mecum' ' is so arranged that it can be adapted to any particular hunt, and the local information relating to that hunt, e^., names of master, committee, hunt servants, kennels, subscribers, statement of hunt accounts (when desired), stud horse at the disposal of the farmers, list of local fairs, etc., etc., can be added by arrangement with the proprietors, 9 RICHARD LOWES, Sportitifl $ CiDcrp tailor, 3, HIGH ROW, DARLINGTON. scarlet Puntitifl Coats* Ridtttd BreecDes. £adie$' Riding Rabits.

AFTER receiving your puppy make it your first endeavour to become friends with him (or her) so that he will soon take to you, and not contract that shyness which attaches itself to puppies that have not been well noticed and handled from commencement to walk. Feed well, especially when the puppy is young and growing fast, and, if you have it to spare, give a small quantity of new milk twice a day for a time, with scraps of broken meat, bread, &c. Above all, let the puppy have plenty of liberty and exercise, avoid shutting him up, and permit him to run out all day long. If confined, his legs will become crooked, and he will soon be rendered worthless for any purpose whatever. Do not discourage him from hunting about the fields in proximity to your house, but correct him at once if he shows the slightest inclination to run after sheep, poultry, &c. This correction is important at the outset, as if applied at the earliest stage he will soon give up the bad and what might become a confirmed habit. If you act upon these suggestions it is not unlikely that you may be rewarded for your trouble by carrying ofi one of the prizes given by the master of the hounds to the successful puppy walkers. If you keep poultry, walk a foxhonnd pnppy ; he will drive all foxes from the poultry yards, and keep them well exercised, 13 Or9s)ll!a(l9ison,£'- Agricultural and .

THERE are about 229 packs of Foxhounds and Staghounds in the United Kingdom, 11 packs of Draghounds, and something like 239 packs of Harriers and Beagles, representing a sum total not far removed from 460. The yearly cost of maintaining a pack of foxhounds may be estimated at £1000 for each day in the week that hounds are out. Twenty-five years ago £500 per day was regarded as a fair estimate in the provinces, but that was when agriculture was in a more prosperous state than at present, and the expenditure has increased so rapidly during the last few years that from £900 to £1000 per hunting day in the week, i.e , a pack hunting three days a week costs £3000 per annum to maintain, and one hunting four days a week, £4000, will be found more correct ; a much higher standard all round being aimed at than formerly, and the price of most things having greatly increased. In the shires half as much more may be added to the sums quoted above, and the estimate will be still found to be within the mark. The yearly cost, therefore, of hunting 200 packs of foxhounds and stag- hounds alone, consisting of some 9,000 COUPLES of hounds, and hunting on an average rather less than three days per week, must and does undoubtedly exceed £550,000, whilst that of the 189 packs of harriers and beagles, amounting to at least 3,500 COUPLES OF HOUNDS, cannot, according to the computation of an acknowledged harrier authority, be far short of £100,000. These figures are no mere estimates, but are based on an accurate knowledge of the exact cost of many packs during the past 25 years, and are certainly not over the mark. When we come to consider the money expended by various followers of the hunt on their horses, the forage of these horses, their own and their servants' clothing, their horse clothing, their saddles, veterinary and stable requisites, the figures reach almost beyond comprehension, for we find there must be a total of nearly 200,000 HUNTERS, costing something like £12,000,000, and necessitating an annual expenditure of at least £8,000,000. These figures almost take one's breath away, but they are indeed eloquent, proving as they dp beyond a shade of a shadow of a doubt how 16 inimical to the true interests of their country are the antagonists of fox-hunting. Proving, too, how constant and incessant must be the circu- lation of money throughout a hunting district, how beneficial to the Agriculturalist the constant needs of a foxhunter, and what a dearth, what a grim blank, what a wilderness that country woMd be were the pursuit of the fox (a hardy and manly sport with just a spice of danger), ever to become a thing of the past, and the country gentlemen of England compelled to migrate to other and far distant climes in search of the sport they have been accustomed to find in a district with which they have had a life- long association.' If once we efface the Joys of the chase From the land, and outroot the stud, Good-bye to the Anglo-Saxon race, Farewell to the Norman blood.— Lindsay Gordon. Since this article was penned South Africa has witnessed a bloody conflict, which has proved beyond question the truth of poor Lindsay Gordon's lines. No body of men ever did greater service to their country in time of war than the British Yeoman, cbmposed in the most part, of men who acquired their dash and horsemanship in the rough and tumble school of following hounds, whilst had it not been for our innate love of horse breeding and hunting, we would never have been able to put into the field a number of remounts out of all proportion to the size of the British Isles. 17 dO ««o OQOO O oooo o : 1 : : : : a (0 > :5P5f : HI o 0 : P g : 0 0 Si^ © 03 O s . s s^-^ 3S = S 5^S $r :2l| 08: p •"•S c- ^ c3 r:J !D H o P t* o > M ."^ O 3 03 *^ o TS r; ;; i; a) . o o o M o) :3 5j ,• fl ^ 02 T3 'Tj S o : M s ^s O 3 r^i O t^-^ d -u go -^J d « ,, S ^ ■^UPO Ph «rt &JD ?r >, d d^ o ' ^ o § g § ^-^ d li^ "S >,2 a^ s ^H '■+J « 3 so ^-2 2 S O O -d ^ w Ph S^ h5 U Ph S P^ Ph H^l j<5 d r-*^ d A Few suggestions kindly forwarded by a Farmer. POULTHY not secured or left out at night is fair food for foxes or any vermin. Lambs should be folded at nights until they are 10 days old. Many perish from exposure to wet which they are unable to stand, w hilst others are killed by " stray " dogs, but seldom, if ever by foxes, though deaths are sometimes thought- lessly attributed to them, and if a lamb is worth half the value some set on him he is worth ordinary care. Some farmers, especially in the south, attach a bell to one or two of the ewes, whilst others burn an oil lamp at the cost of a Id. a night in the field. in which the lambs are folded, and one hunting farmer, who has tried it for years, assures me that a led ribbon tied round the necks of lambs secures their absolute immunity. It is not advisable to let out poultry too early in the morning. The wet grass is harmful to young turkeys, chickens, etc.. and foxes, stoats, rats, etc., are on prowl from 5 to 7 a.m. If a turkey sits in the open a bit of wire-netting run round the nest will generally piesorve it. Very slight care prevents much loss in many ways and the accompanying annoyance, especi- ally at a night time. The natural food of foxes consists of rabbits and rats, and a well-known M.F.H., who re- cently purchased an estale which was overrun with rats ''nd harboured few foxes, tells me that as foxes have increased rats have died out almost altogether. Eats it may be remembered are very destructive to poultry, whilst foxes more frequently than not get the blame. BAEBED WIEE. SOME 26 years ago the writer called attention to the readers of the Field newspapers of the serious danger to, and impediment in the way of fox-hunting, owing to the prevalence of barbed wire in certain countries, and the necessity of combating in some measure the growing abuse. In some districts remedies have been devised ; in others nothing has been done, but it behoves all lovers of the chase to bestir themselves, for just imagine the serious loss that may be inflicted on a country in consequence of fox- hunting being abandoned owing to the — I will not say selfishness — but rather, want of thought on the part of a few persons in running a strand of hidden barbed wire through the middle of their fences. " A heavy responsibility indeed," to quote a well-known writer* in the Daily Telegraph, " lies at the door of all those who either from wanton motives, or what they in their unnatural shortsightedness, may be pleased to term conscientious scruples, may be the means of transferring innumerable blessings which tens of thousands amongst the poorer classes derive each recurring hunting season from the sojourn of wealthy visitors in their * Mr. H. S. Davenport, to whom the author's thanks are due. 23 idst into other and more distant channels. No farmer would deliberately place this trap in the way of huntsmen ; it is, as a rule, done thoughtlessly or carelessly, and "conciliation, not threats," is the course to be adopted, all agriculturalists being amenable to reason and to argument, and what cannot be accomplished by trouble and tact cannot be effected at all. During the past years letters have been received from eminent Veterinary Surgeons calling particular attention to the poisonous and dangerous nature of wounds caused to horses and cattle by barbed wire that has become rusty by long standing. I say, therefore, "Farmers ! do not forget the dangers of barbed wire ! and Followers of the hunt ! respect the farmers' wheat and seeds, avoiding any unnecessary damage, however slight, and both remember that you are working to a common end, viz. : — your mutual enjoy- ment and prosperity." 24 Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution.

Hunt servants are a fairly hardy race, but un- fortunately like all of us, they grow old and infirm, even if they escape accident, in course of time, and it behoves all those who are so dependent upon their exertions for many delightful hours to contribute something to- wards rendering their lot less irksome after retirement from service. At present benefit members of the society receive, under certain conditions, a weekly allowance in case of accident or illness : an annuity after the age of 60 or 65, whilst provision is made for widows, orphans, etc. It has been suggested that the annuity should commence at the age of 50 or 55, and the President of the Society, The Marquis of Zetland, has, through the medium of the press, made a noble appeal to hunting men to con- tribute towards raising a sum of £7,000 with this object in view. A trifle over £30 from each hunt should be without difficulty collected, and there are various other ways in which small sums can be obtained Should any profit result from the sale of the Hunt * ' Vade INIecum * it is intended to devote a moiety of it to this fund, whilst another moiety will go to a kindred society, 30 the * 'Royal Agricultural Benevolent InstitutioD." It is hoped that an increase may be made this season. List of " Caps " Received for Season 1910-11. & s. d.

ONE ot the primary objects of the " Vade Mecum " was to take time by the fore- lock and prevent if possible the use of barbed wire at all ; where, however, such use is recognized during the summer months, a diflBculty not unfrequently arises in con- nection with its removal during the hunting season. With a view to facilitate this removal the author of the " Vade Mecum " has consulted the Masters of Hounds and Honorary Secretaries of many countries during the past season, and the following extract from one whose opinion is much valued, places the matter in the most concise of nutshells, and the suggestions contained therein might be well acted upon in every country where wire prevails It may not be generally known that a wire fence with iron standards costs i/- to 1/3 pel- yard, and that a good creosoted fence much the same as used by the N.E). Rly. Co., but with 4 instead of 5 rails and of the following dimensions can be had for about 1/2 per yard, and will last as long as the wire, and is a better and less dangerous fence. Posts— 6 feet 6" x 3", spaced 6 feet apart. Rails — 12 feet 4" x i|", four in number. 107 Extract from Letter. "You will.be interested to hear that we got down every bit of wire last .season ; not a strand was up in the hunting season. We have a man in each parish who fills up a small book with the particulars of every farm; that is all entered by me in a large book, and indexed, so that if a bit of wire were seen, I should be able to refer at once to my book, and see the reason. The system worked per- fectly ; I had in the first instance a meeting of all the occupiers of land, and explained the system. At the end of the season we gave a dinner to the wire agents, and thanked them." What can be done in one country by an energetic Master or Secretary gifted with powers of organization, can be carried out equally successfully elsewhere, and this system is confidently recommended where wire already exists. The dangerous nature of barbed wire has already been commented on ; in addition we have had almost daily proof, during the hot summer, of the serious loss to flocks during thunderstorms ; frequent deaths among both horses, cattle, and sheep having been caused by wire fencing attracting the lightning, near which they were sheltering. Death, too, has frequently resulted from animals swallowing broken strands of wire. ■m HEDGE -CUTTINC COMPETITIONS. THESE competitions are becoming more general, and are a permanent means of doing away with barbed wire. The care of hedges, to a certain extent, at any rate, seems to have grown lax in many parts of England in recent years, with the result that they have got into a laad state, many of them being allowed to grow wild, run to an immense height, cover many yards of land, get thin at the bottom, and become full of holes. The object of these competitions is to revive the almost lost art of laying fences, and to stimu- late by prizes and example the pride that occupiers once took in the care of their fences. There is no doubt whatever that the indis- criminate use of barbed wire is a premium on bad fencing, and that these competitions not only benefit the hunting man, by getting many of these high fences lowered, thereby allowing him to see hounds beyond them, but also the landlord and the tenant, the former by having the fences on his estate greatly improved, and the latter by gaining many yards of land, and 109 ALL EEQUIRING . .

One instance has come under our notice, where substantial prizes were offered in four classes There were 33 entries, and 9| miles of fences were laid and plashed or inter- woven, while the year previous in the same country 10^ miles offences were cut and laid, and the banks and ditches cleared of rubbish. The good done in this particular locality is most marked, and is a real benefit to the landed interest, to the labourer, and certainly to fox hunting. If these competitions become far more numerous than they have been (though they have been tried with great success in many countries) , the use of barbed wire would become more rare, instead of gradually increasing, as it has done in so many districts. Of course these competitions cost money, and necessitate trouble in arranging, but they are cheaper and afford less trouble in the long run than getting wire down, and, besides, foster a pleasant feeling between the Himt and the occupiers of the land. On the day when the judging takes place, hunting -men may be seen walking round and congratulating the farmers, who feel pleased that interest is taken in their work, and pride in what they have done, which always puts a man in the best of tempers ; whereas, when a farmer is asked to take his wire down, there is a certain amount of trouble involved, 111 HARRISON & SON, GOLDSMITHS AND SILVERSMITHS WATCH AND CLOCK MAKERS. .

Then, again, the taking down, putting up and seeing after wire, season after season, is a never-ending, wearisome work that must be done, and as often as not the work grows year by year, instead of diminish- ing, whereas a Hedge-Cutting Competition is pleasant, and may be made an excuse for the meeting of a large number of hunting men and farmers, where pleasant words and greetings are exchanged and much good done in more ways than one. The proprietors of the Hunt Vade Mecum will be very glad to send Hunt Secretaries or others desiring to start a Hedge-Cutting Com- petition in their country, rules, conditions and particulars, which might act as a guide and be of use in helping them to start such competitions iia ^Established 1880, Ormdfon'd Wtd.

IN order to encourage the breeding of good sound youn^ horses, Masters of Hounds and supporters of foxhunting in many districts, place at the disposal of the puppy walkers the services of a thoroughbred or cart horse stallion free of charge. In such cases it is suggested that it ba a condition precedent that the applicant for a nomination has no barbed wire, endangering horse or hound, in his fences. It is further suggested that this c'ause be inserted by all donors of special hunting prizes at the Asricultural Shows, and by the committee of bond fide hunters' races at Hunt Meetings. The reason for these suggestions is obvious No prize for hunters at an Agriculiural Show should be awarded to any person endeavouring to prevent their utility, and similarly in the case of Point-to-Point or Hunters' races of and k^nd. These hints have commended themse ves to every teaant farmer to whom they have been mentioned. 115 SUGGESTIONS FOR A FORAGE LIST EVEEY member or supporter of a hunt shor.ld, if possible, purchase the forage, etc., required for his horses from tenant farmers residing within the limits of the hunt. With a view to carrying out this simple provision, tenant farmers in the hunt are requested to forward to the Hon. Sec. of the Hunt from time to time a list of the articles of forage, etc., for sale by them, stating accurately the lowest price, and whether to be delivered free or not. Good old short oats, well won old land hay, wheat straw, carrots, old beans, etc., are mostly enquired for. Young hunters are best seen when out with hounds, and attention can then be called to them ; they should, however, be kept wide of the pack. Members of the hunt in want of forage, etc.. should communicate with the Hon, Sec, who would forward their require- ments to any sellers ou the list. No charge of any sort will be made in connection with this matter. 116 MOTOR INDEX MARKS. th'^h.^f 1 Lo'^^-I CE Cambridgeshire EM Bootle CF Suffolk, West EN Bury AA A Southampton Worcestershire CH Derby EO Barrow-in-Furna, AB GJ aerefordshire EP Montgomeryshire AC Warwickshire CK Preston ES Perth AD Gloucestershire CL Norwich ET aotherham AE Bristol CM Birkenhead EU Breconshire AP C.^mwan CN Gateshead EW Huntingdon shire AH Norfolk CO Plymouth EX Great Yarmouth AJ Yorkshire, N.R.
