The Nevada experiment station has
this about horses:
''The station is not in the horse
breeding business. Yet the farm team
of Percheron mares have been made Ia
do double duty in that they have done
the farm work and added to the work
ing force by rearing colts. One of the
original team. purchased some five
years ago. died from blood poisoning
at foallng this spring She had been
a regular breeder aud leaves four colts
any of which would probably bring on
the market double the amount paid for
the team. One of these. a two-year
old stallion. weighing over l'9O0
pounds, we value at $1,000 and con
slider him superior TO most OF the
company horses that have been Id
in the state at from $500 to $500
Besides this promising colt we have on
hand pair Of growing mares now
three and four years old. ready to take
the place of the old team. and two
younger born colts. There should be
a lesson In this for the farmer. When
the farm work is not too heavy brood

The average dairy COW will eat about
forty pounds per day. Some do not
care for so mach; others will eat more.
One of the record breaking cows In
the Iowa contest was fed az high as
100 pounds of silage for some days

though II really matters little have
known Of several fouls that have been
born in the field before the owner was
able to get the mare out Of the har
ness. and they have done as well as
any without any damage whatsoever
to the mare Anyway. II Is always
better to have the colt foaled out OF
the stable and on the ground, for the
cases Of navel trouble with colts foal
ed on the ground are much less nu
merous than with those foaled in ma
nure soaked stables.
1t is seldom that the mare needs to
rest from work more than week
after foaling. We never allow the
young colts to follow the mares about
when they are at work. II Is con
stant annoyance to the man who Is
working the team. Ofttimes the colt
will get TO suck when the mare Is I'M
duly warm, which il sure TO cause
bowel trouble What Is more follow
ing the mare about when working is
bad for the colt. as II gets more ex
ercise than II needs. and great deal
of its food goes to waste when 1t
should go TO making bone and mus

goes to work we aim TO have her near

tinues until the colt is old enough to
