Make Il the dnty Of some cine TO observe
the condition Of each individasl colt every
day and have IL food and care adapted to
il needs. This is the way TO bring the
foaI. through the winter in ioo'i condition.
This is the way To raise tough, haffy
horses. This Is the way TO make money
by horse-raising.
A few days ago. says Bro. Trott in the
last number of Spirit Of thu. Hub. We met
my old friend f. r. Hassey If Aususta. and
spent pleasant half hour With him during
which We we're shown his iine brood mare
Mana Reed, by Joceo, BY Gonsteliafion, dam
by Tom patchen. Mr.. Hnssss is just begin
ming to breed III. trosser in small way. but
that he has begun right by securing val
liable fountain from shich TO drzw,i is shown
by the merits of a fine fve months colt by
All So and another step has been taken IN
wisdom's path BY carrying The mare To Bay
ard Wilkes, ais pace. The All SO colt,
is the property of Capt. Charles Reed OF
Richmond and the Bayari Wilkes colt will
be the joint property of Resri and iiassey a
creation IN hich these brightest day dreams
should be realized.

W. NJ. Roberts of Bar Harpor, owns a
pretty, well-bresi stallion in Dawn r., BY

Graham, 22I l-2, by Msmhrino Chief.
This horse il I'VE years old. stands u and
weighs 1909. His oldest colts, with one
exception are yearlings and are very prom
ising. Dawn K should get mark close TO
2. 20, when trained. AMI We hope he will be
next season.
The angle of the check of the horse
should conform with the natural position OF
the head and meek when the horse irots in
free and untrammelied way IN the pat
dock. Marvin once failed to obtain the
speed from a colt that had been promised
BY his work IN the kindergarten. He
stopped bis training and sent the colt back
to the miniature track when he watched
carefully its nattisal poise and carriage with
the result that found his mistake and recti-
fed il.
Robert Bonner says that true hoof is
usually sound hoOf, and this simple rul"
il universally ignored. Keep the foot
level. There is condensed lore of hun
bred veterinary colleges in that sentence
repeat and emphasize this point--ke+p
the horses foot level. For instance,
strained tendons are most common. and the
horse is Obliged to limp, the pain is so great
and there can be no pleasure in riding or
driving a horse that is suffering at every
step he takes The most common cause for
distress is the fact of one side of the shoe
being higher than the other. This strains
the sesamoidal ligament on the low side.
The average veterinarians will battle and
blister for this. The absurdity of this is
evident, for until the strain is removed
from that ligament, all the bathing and
blistering in the world won't cure.
For rough feed timothy hay is an almost
universal favorite, but the horse breeder
will find Il few tons of sweet corn fodder,
ensilaged, wonderfully valuable addition
10 his store of winter feed, and an armful
of it thrown into the Manager every evening
will be attacked like dog goes for bone.
Horses prefer it above all other hay or fOd-
der and eat it ravenously, consuming it to
the last butt end. The corn should be
drilled close. in rich land, and cut and
cured with the ears on.--The lIorseman.
On hundreds of farms are to be seen
dull-eyed, rough-haired, under-sized and
spiritless colts, whose distended bodies dur
ing the winter season show plainly that
they are the victims of too much hay or
straw, and too little of the condensed and
nutritious oats and bran. Thousands of
colts are annually raised that are not worth
even the care and cost of the hay that they
consume. but if colt is worth raising at
all, it pays to fully ievelop its possibilities
by adequate and nutritious feed. If il does
not pay to feed any animal on the farm
properly it is pretty certain that it does not
pay to keep that animal On the farm at all.
The Maine State Agricultural Society
Colt Stakes should equal in number of
entries any in New England next year.
With guarantee of $500 for yearlings,
500 for two-ycar- olds, 5000 for three-year-
Odds, and 800 for four-year-olds. 1t seems
as though the entries to these stakes should
be large.
Portland Express: In Maine there will
be general satisfaction at the reinstatement
of Nelson the horse and Nelson the man by
the board of review of the. National Trot-
ting Association. Yetthere is something of
the ridiculous about the performance. The
inference is that the behavior of the horse

the expulsion, while each was equally rep
rehensible before.
Among the many beautiful and always
enjoyable productions in periodical Christ
mas literature there is probably no class
journal that has acquired a more substan-
tial and lasting position in the estimation OF
an appreciative public than has The Horse
man of Chicago. The complete fulfillment
in years past of all promises and assur-
ances made concerning the many valuable
features of their Christmas number should
leave no question in the minds
of its readers but that the holiday number
for 1892 will be fully in keeping with and
in all probability surpass it's predecessors.
The reasonable expectancy of all who are
more or less interested in the care and cul-
iiva,ion of the horse will surely be satisfied.
The many supplements it will have and the
timely illustrations that will grace its col
umns, the tabulation of useful information
in the form of tables ard statistics, with the
immense amount of reading matter. which
will all TEEN with interest, certainly will
