Excerpt from Hints to Huntsmen
They ought to be fed and shut up as soon as possible. After being shut up for some hours, turn them off the benches, and add some fresh straw. Of course, any accident must be attended to immediately.
Some people feed hot, some cold; some throw away the flesh and mix with broth, others throw away the broth and mix with water. I think both are wrong. Hounds should have both broth and flesh (and, I believe, bones also). The only reason that the broth is thrown away and water substituted is the fear of acidity in the broth. With proper care this should never happen. You may as well give your Hounds poison as sour broth. After hunting feed them with the chill off; at other times I am inclined to feed cold and thick.
