BREAKING THE COLT.
Care Should Be Exercised Not to Over.

work the Young Animal.
Breaking the colt is an important
work on the farm. The value on the
farm and market depends largely on
whether he is we'll broken. says the
Orange Judd Farmer, Many farmers
insult the colt at the beginning. Get
the attention of the colt first and then
make him understand. 1t is best to
approach the colt from the side or
rear and work forward rather than
place the hands right on his face to
start with. When one has gained the
acquaintance and confidence he can
teach the colt through reward and cor
rection. If the colt does anything Wron.
he should be corrected Immediately.
He should also be rewarded for acts
that please. 1t is a sad mistake to
punish the youngSter for an act caused
by mi>titting harness or breaks made
through fright.
In breaking the colt to harness
double place him with an animal that
is trusty and true. \ good horse to
break colts with is one that inspires
and not an irritable animal.
Don't tire the colt out the first time
he is hitched. Do not overload him at
any time during his training. If he
SHES. stop and let him look things
over. In no case whip him by any OBJ
iect he is afraid of. 1t is a good prac-
tice to begin On the colts while they
are young on the farm. Some success

full horsemen begin When the colt is
two years and drive him a few times.
At least when the colt is three he can
do light work III the farm. In this
way by the time he is ready for market
n has a we'll broken horse, which will
command a higher price.
DO not make the mistake of over
working the colt once he has been
broken.

In he most important dairy
countries the Holstein breed has
met its rivals and has been de-
clared by the majority of dairymen
after an impartial trial to be the
most profitable breed, writes a
correspondent of the Breeders Ga
zette. The Holstein probably pro-
duces more milk and butter thar
all other dairy breeds combined,
and it has been due to the Holstein
COW probably more than all other
causes combined that milk pro-
duction in the various countries has
been so greatly increased in the
last few decades. The bull pic
tured is a pure bred Holstein.
