 The NG'i0Hdg StOchIllGR thinks colts are weaned too late It says: "As rule colts are weaned too late in the season. They should have time to learn to eat heartily of other foods before cold weather. A colt foaled in May should be weaned in September, which viii allow both it and its dam to go into winter quarters in better shape than if the weaning is postponed until October or November. If the mare is kept breeding, and has not anything else to do but to breed and nurse her colts, she will get along if the colt is not weaned until December; but the colt will not do so we'll if put upon fod- der and hay all of sudden at that time of year The young thing should be taught to eat before it is weaned."
