PRODUCTION OF FALL COLTS

ment Of Agricultural
Since the production of fall colts
seems TO be gaining favor in many
hOrse-prOducing sections, as we'll as
in some sections where the production
of horses has been previously neg
lected, it is desirable that these young
sters be accorded every chance to be-
gin the winter season in the best DOS
sible conditions. Although they avoid
the fly evil, they are exposed to ex-
tremely cold weather and of necessity
must be maintained in stables most
of the time until the following grass
season.
Joint-ill, a germ disease, which
causes the deaths of hundreds of new
born foals, should be controlled by
legation or binding Of the unbilical
cord as soon as possible after birth
and the subsequent swabbing of the
small portion of the cord left pendant
in a 1900 solution of corrosive sub
Innate. The filth germs which cause
the disease enter the body by means
Of the umbiical cord unless such pre-
cautions are taken. A piece of sur
geon's silk should be bound around
the cord as close to the body of the
animal as possible. Then the sub
Innate solution should be applied to
he pendulous portion of the cord
twice daily until 1t drops off, The
colt should be born in a well-lighted
and ventilated stable, in n stall which
has been disinfected thoroughly and
bedded with clean, bright straw. Aft
er the birth of the colt the stall should
be cleaned out and disinfected again,
while the litter should be burned.
