Feeding and Breeding Notes.

The brood mares should be in thrifty
condition, but not fat, to insure best re-
suits in the breeding season. If the
mare is worked regularly, she should have
a generous ration Of oats, bran and corn
in about equal parts, witt about seven
pounds of bright timothy or prairie hay,
daily. A run on blue grass or timothy
pasture, an hour each evening, will be
of advantage. Do not hurry at breeding
time. After population, the mare should
be shut up, if possible, in darkened box
stall FROM three to FIVE hours; then should
be walked" mot hurried) home, and
should be kept on dry food for day and q
night and all excitement or worry avoid

sual precaution should be taken, and
double service" given within three or
four hours, if the stallion is not overwork-
ed. But single service is better than a
double if tEa stallion has performed
more than Two previous services that day.
mares have service no. sooner than hours
after service of another mare Better
wait until the morning of the next day, as
a rule, than to accept third service for
the day, if the stallion is under years
old, Or fourth from a stallion of any
age.

The greater the variety of good grasses
in the pasture, the better for the thrift
of the stock that feed there An especial
advantage Is that naked grasses give a
longer season of good pasturaee. AN early
variety shades the tender blades of the
later one, and it in turn shades the exposed
