CARE OF THE FOALS.
Unless the Mare Is Fed Well and Ju-

disgrace to its sire and source of
loss to the owner, says the Live Stock
Journal The mare should be fed we'll
enough to allow her to supply the
foal with abundant, rich, nutritious
milk. Her food should be rich in nj
trogenous ingredients, for these are
most required for frame building. She
should be allowed to suckle her foal
often, if she is worked, and never
when she is tired and sweaty. 1t does
not pay to allow the foal to run with
the mare at pillow OF on way to town.
Milk is taken often in this way, but
not in suitable condition for the foal,
and, besides this, the foal is getting
too much fatiguing work in following
It's dam. Work the mare lightly, il
at all. Before it is too late put in a

Plant several times, with few days
between the seedlings. Use this green
corn fodder for the mares to help out

can keep flies out of the stable. Just
as early as possible let foals learn to
eat mixture of crushed oats, bran and
dried blood meal foods for frame build

weak bones add bone meal which may
