Again, if a man wants to serve in the cavalry, farming is
 his most efficient partner in furnishing keep for
 his horse; if on foot, it makes his body brisk. And
 the land helps in some measure to arouse a liking
 for the toil of hunting, since it affords facilities
 for keeping hounds and at the same time supplies
 food for the wild game that preys on the land. And if husbandry benefits horses and hounds, they benefit
 the farm no less, the horses by carrying the
 overseer early to the scene of his duties and
 enabling him to leave it late, the hounds by keeping
 the wild animals from injuring crops and sheep, and
 by helping to give safety to solitude.
