WEAVING CoLrs.-we often, when
travelling through the country in the
fall. sec colts with a rough, staring coat,
eyes nearly closed, and watery matter
exuding therefrom, which but few
weeks before. while running with the
mare. were possessed of sleek, shiny
coat, ewes bright, and body as round as
a barrel. Now the question arises, what
is the cause of this? | answer. in nine
cases ont of ten il is improper weaving.
Nearly eyery colt in farming communi-
ties is allowed to run with its mother
until about four or five months old, when
TO suit the convenience of the owner il
is turned into some distant field out Of
sight. and. IL possible. out of hearing Of
lis mother, there to run and Whitney,
and worry. until il brings upon itself a
fever, weakens the constitution, closes
the pores of the skin. and, in brief, the
whole organs of digestion become more
or less diseased. All this can be avoided
by little care in weaving. My way Of
weaving is this: When nv colt is four
N - ~ -.
halter upon and place him in stall. and
put his mother in an adjoining stall, with
a partition between so arranged that they
can see each other. and if possible get
their heads together The first day lei
the colt nurse twice, the next two day,
once. feed the mare upon dry hay and
drv feed. and about half milk her two OIL
three times A day until dry. The colt
feed upon new mown grass or fine clover
bay. and give him a pint of oats twice {
day. and in about two weeks | have my
colt weaned and my mare dry. with my
colt looking as fine as ever. When he il
one year old he has as much growth and
development of muscle as one two year
old weaned in the first described manner
When the mare becomes dry, colt and
mare may be turned out together agair
in pasture.
