can be bred to foal at different times
OF the year and there need be no In
convenience with the work.
In raising colts, as in any other line
Of work, an effort must be made to
produce an animal that possesses all
of the desirable points. The; first
thing to be considered in working for
this Is to breed to an animal that is
known to get colts Of quality. That
all of the qualities may be brought
out to their best the colt must have
plenty Of free exercise from the start.
During the time that the foal Is fol-
lowing the 1t Is necessary to
give her the proper rations for in
surfing a good flow Of rich milk. If
the colt does not secure enough nu-
tritious milk a marked effect upon
size and appearance will be noted.
Then, when the colt is weaned it
must receive a variety Of flesh and
bone-forming feeds. The value of q
horse depends upon strength and &C
tivity, and these can be present only
in an animal Of good bone and mus
Gle formation and strong. healthy
vital organs.
1t may be well enough to note that
the mare that raises a colt nearly
every year and that spends a great
deal Of her time in the harness keeps
In better condition and has greater
vitality and Is more vigorous than
the mare that is eve bred.
When this is considered in connec-
ton with the fact that a colt or two
to sell each year will add greatly to
the income 1t would seem that the
raising Of colts is profitable work.
