Winter i coming, and may have
many things TO say concerning it be-
fore it has come and gone, bnt just
now want to say word about the
colts.
There j. no animal you raise pays
yon as well as your colts, provided
you take proper care Of them. 1t was
once the custom, and the farmers
theory justified the practice, to keep
colts half starved and unshcltcred
during the winter, in order that they
might be hardy. That old theory is
all exploded, and never regarded by
any one who wishes n horse good
either for use at homo, or for tie mar
kct Instead therefore, Of wintering
your colts in The stock field, or with
the COWS around the straw stack,
make immediate arrangement to havo
them sheltered ana comfortably fed.
They do not want exceedingly warm
lstableing, only give them protection
from the storms. always keeping them
dry. They do not want auriciting
Iool, only give them good lay with
! lille chopped feed, and they will
come ont Of the winter in good copdi
ton, still growing; and should you
have occasion to sell them, the differ
cnce in their price will more than
pay you the cost of sheltering them
from tile storms of winter. Also, if
you will consult your own advantage
in future, you will handle Your colts
during the winter. Let them feel the
kind rub Of the hand every day and
let them learn that you are good na-
tured, though your ncighbors have
never found It out; let your colts
know il. and they will return all your
kindness when their time comes.

AS this disease is oitcntimes fatal

no directions for its nsc. We believe

remedy.
