day they foal. providing you have the
right kind of work for them to do
They should not be hitched 10 any very
heavy loads or on to tongue that will
strike them in the side, and they
should not be backed when heavy with
foal. After fall blowing is done and
you have no further work for them,
do not tie them in the stable and let
them stand without any exercise; that
is too sudden a change. Let them out
IN the yard for exercise every after
noon, unless very stormy. A few weeks
before foaling, feed a little faxseed
along with boiled oats and bran. Never
allow the foal to run after the mare
when working Always keep it In a
loose box, we'll bedded, and with plen-
ty of light, but no holes which it can
get its head through. Always give the
foal a little feed when you take the
mare out. Unless you are working
long distance from the barn, it will
pay to take the mare in during the
forenoon and afternoon, giving her a
drink and handful of oats. and let
the foal suck, thus helping the mare
and also the foal. When the foal is
weened, feed it often with good clover
hay, CHOPPED oats and bran, and all
the milk it will take. Winter well the
first winter. Many foals are allowed
to winter around straw stacks and on
poor, dry feed, and are very little
heavier in the spring than when
weaned in the fall.-Farmers' Review
