CAREFUL FEEDING OF COLTS
MUST lie Kept Growing if Best Horses
Are to Be Made of Them-Oats
Make Good Feed.

Some people seem to think that
the colts can live out in all kinds OF
weather, and thrive on any kind of
reed that they can get. This is q
great mistake, however. Colts. like
any other young animals, must be
kept growing by careful feeding if the
pest horses are to be made of them.
NOW is the time of the year to pre-.
pare for feeding and sheltering the
coits. Make preparations to feed
tnem little, gradually increasing the
amount as the grass becomes shorter.
Fix small Enclosure in the pasture
where the colts run, SO that thew can
run under the rails at a gap. but
mares will be excluded.
If the Enclosure is made near tbe
sailing or watering place the mares
viii not be so liable to toll the colts
away before they are through eating.
Oats, with a little bran MIXED in
