by other means. II brood-mare foals in
February or March, and is well fed, she
will have plenty of good milk, although
she does not run in pasture the foals Will
learn to eat with her, and thus supplement-
her milk and grow rapidly. 1t gains in
time, and when it goes out into the field by
her side in April or May it will crop the
young fresh grass along with her. But one
foaled IN May or June, and turned into a
pasture which is already becoming rank
and partly dried up, will not eat the grass
while there isany of itreally good to eat. The
consequence Is that such foal exists upon
its mothers milk alone, and does not grow
large and strong and when it is old enough
to Craze there is little grass to be got, ex-
cept such as is too old and woody in fiber
for young colts and FLIES" Our expert
ence entirely corroborates this doctrine.
Rather than have foal dropped after the
first of June, we should prefer to wait and
breed for an October foal, that might follow
the dam all winter or, if breeding for the
turf, where all ages date from the first of
January, we should prefer to lose the year
rather than breed for a late foal because,
on the following season, we might then
commence early whereas if brood mare

be several years before she can be brought
around so as to produce foal in February
or March, provided she produces every
year. National Live Stock Journal, Chi
