low. After this time i;l,e eight months,
especial care should be taken 10 avoid
too hard work. or to allow any over
exertion. During the last four weeks
the mare should be allowed free move
lncnt at all times, being allowed box
stall! il possible, or being kept in small
enclosure. open only to the south or
southeast. 1t will be especially iniu-
rious to keep her tied in an ordinary
stall for days together without exercise
1t would be better even, to give her light
work up TO the very day Of foaling.
In this operation she should be watch
cd without being disturbed or ANNOYED
by over attention. In ninetv-iine cases
out of hundred, nature. uait;ed. will
he her best help: but in the case OF n
false presentation. or Of difficult labor
from any cause. it may be necessary TO
call in professional assistance. In such
cases. rcsourse should be had to reyu-
lar physician. rather than TO the average
"cow doctor OF a country neighborhood
though the two together may be better
than either one alone.
After the colt is born. il and its moth
or should be left entirely TO themselves
for about six hours or over night. After
this the mare should have "A thin. warm,
bran marsh. and this should be repeated
daily for "A week. unless the season is late
enou2ht for grass to be cut for her. Foi
two day after foaling she had better be
kept quietly in her box stall. After that
time. the foal will Ice strong enough 10
take n little exercise. and they may be
turned into a small enclosure during the
daytime. except in stormy weather.
Alter the colt is a month old. if tho
weather has become settled. they ma,
be kept in good pasture except while thu
mare is at work. then the colt should bs
kept in the stall to prevent him from
running.
During the first two months the mar,
