PERcHERoN COLT RAISED COLLEGE FARM-TYPE OF COLT
THAT GEORGIA FARMERS RAISE.

According to the last census Geor-
gia owned 120,067 horses, only 80 per
cent Of these being on farms, Geor-
gia farmers holding bottom place
among states for number of horses
owned by farmers OF the 5000
horses on Georgia farms, perhaps one
half were mares. The census reports
only 3,91S colts. On the basis of 60
per cent breeding record, the 1900
mares should have produced 1886
colts, but it win be seen that Georgia
farmers have been very Indifferent
about raising colts Whsn they have
raised only about one-third as many
as they could be expected to raise A
very deplorable state of affairs. Think
of driving through farming section
and passing 80 farms that did not
raise colts before you came to one
that did, this too in face of the fact
that Georgia is paying approximately
ST., coo annually for mules
If one farmer in a given territory
We're to raise "A colt, ninety-nine Of his
ueighboring Georgia farmers would
