RAISING The
COLT PROPERLY
Care Should Start With the
Mare Before the Colt
Is Foaled
QUICK GROWTH IS ESSENTIAL
At One Year of Age the Colt Should
Weigh one-Half What 1t viii
at Maturity.

In order to realize an adequate re-
turn from the rearing of horses, the
farmer must pay more attention to the
young colt. He must do everything
possible in growing that colt to make
IL the best colt in the neighborhood
so that it will bring the most money
when put on the market.
The first and most essential thing to
look after Is the condition of the mare
before she foals. She should be turn
ed on pasture when possible and given
moderate work or exercise every day
as the time draws near for her to foal.
The average period for a mare to car
ry her foal is $40 days, but this may
be diminished by twenty days or ex-
tended thirty days. 1t Is possible some
times to tell within short time OF
foaling by the white substance. COM

Congressman w. G. Brown, OF West
Virginia, and Congressman ]. Willard
RagsdaIe, of South Carolina, Democratic
members of the House banking and cur
rency committee, clashed last Wednes-
day afternoon in bitter words after the
conference of the Democratic members OF
the committee. No blows were struck,
though at times il looked like the two
men would get together. II appears that
there have been leaks from the Demo-
cratic committee conferences; Ragsdale,
if is said, was charged with being re-
sponsible for the '1eaks." This charge
led 10 words between Ragsdale and
Brown, but before they could clinch
friends interfered.
