RAISING Colts.

There is no harder stock on the farm
than young colts. Safe over the year
of their foalhood, which is always
critical time, they appear to make up
for past delicacy by hardening up and
cheerfully consuming any spare herb
age with profit and relish. Given only
a grass field, with little heritage
thereon, no matter how poor the quail
ity, these equines pick up frugal
living In open weather, says writer
in Farm and Fireside. AS the grass
goes off and rigorous weather comes
on a rack of pea or bean straw to
run to, which can be provided at in
significant cost, is oil the extra that is
asked for so these profitable animals
may be brought through their second
and third winter at minimum outlay.
But there are novices at farming who
pamper up the youngsters with both
grain and hay, thereby giving what is
not necessary and committing an out
lay which certainly is not justified.
