HORSE PRODUCTION 



THE READING-COURSE FOR FARMERS has added to its list 

 of topics under discussion one on Horse Production. There will be a 

 series of Reading- Course Bulletins on this general subject of which this 

 one on Horse Training is the fourth. The first, The Brood Mare, included 

 the general discussion of selection, season of the year to breed, when 

 to breed, causes of abortion, causes of barrenness, general care 

 and management. The second, The Foal, discussed feeding the young 

 colt, colt ills and how to avoid them, weaning, handling, castrating, 

 care and management. The third, Feeding the Horse, discussed food 

 requirements for work, regularity of feeding, watering, preparing food, 

 making up a ration, feeding all classes of horses, and the value of 

 the various foods for horse-feeding. When the series is completed 

 it will cover in a general way the entire field of breeding, feeding, care 

 and management of horses. 



We are anxious to put a copy of this series on horse production in 

 the hands of each person in the State of New York who is interested 

 in this matter. To that end we "are making a separate mailing list 

 for those interested in horse breeding, no matter what their connec- 

 tion with horses may be. If you desire this series fill out the blank 

 below and return.
