Of horses at University Farm, St PanEs
As result Mr.. Montgomery urges 81
breeding of horses. So
He urges, also, the fall foaling efs
colts, rather than spring foalingg
customary method. NThere are,', 10;
says, "many advantages in havi1G
colts foaled in the fall rather than
the spring. The mares are in betterS
condition to work through the rushI
Of seeding and harvesting. Colts foal-
ed in the fall are not molested by me-
quitoes and flies. The mare is better
able to nourish the colt during tie
winter months, as she will have little
hard work to do then. The farmer
will have more time to look after tho
little animal. The colt will be ready
to 90 on pasture as. soon as the grasss
lis green in the spring.
