EEEpINa aRAIN no COLTs.

A subscriber inquiries Of the .Amertcan
AgyicuItursst whether it is advisable to
feed oats to colts in Winter as some Of The
neighbors think the practice Injurious
It is objected that grain of any kind is too
siimulatingfcr young animals, aud that
tbey will grow up more hardy if kept On
scuntv feed We regard this as en- error.
The usual food Of an animal, including
grain, is not Stimulating" in the same
sense as the spices an drugs used by man
we're that the.case, there would be no ques.
tion ste the'impropriesy Of allowing grain
80 young horses or other animals. Grain
contains more nntriment than the same
bulk Of straw or hay. Iffed in large guam
tity to one not worked sufficiently to keep
Che digestive powers very active, the stom-
ach and ether organs will be impaired, and
the health Of the animal, will be injured.
But given judiciously grain promotes the
growth and strength of horses either young
or cid. The proper way to harden an
animal, is, MT to cramp the growth of its
organs, but to develop them to the fullest
extent, and nutritious food is indispensable
to this end. L. is the practice Of some of
the best horsemen to allow small quantity
of oats or corn to colts, as soon as they
will eat them, say from a quart to two
quarts per day during the first Winter,
and more liberal allowance the following
year, increasing the quantity gradually
Oats ere preferable, es corn from its oily
nature predisposes to in8ammatory aiseas-
es, Herbet says this treatment will amply
repay the owner in quality of bone and
muscle which the animal will form, andin
the increased size, beauty, and stamina,
which will be his characteristics when he
is growing toward maturity. He gives his
opinion that colt cared for in this way
will be, at tive years old, the equal of any
thrce year old, allowed to take his chance
without any food but that furnished by
his dam from her ordinary commons, OIL
