The colt stood forty inches at foal-
ing time as compared with thirty-six
inches for the average mule colt and
has a grace that can be compared
only to the gazelle. Its color is a
soft chocolate brown with stripes of
a lighter brown marking it's coat.
Later these stripes will become white,
after the fashion of its sire.
DR.. Hastings believes the zebra will
give a bigger bone to its offspring,
the foal will be less subject to sick

attack Of flies and it's average age
will be doubled. A mule lives to be
