CHAPTER IX, 



MARE AND COLT, 



Have an Aim in Breeding — Breeding Farm Hordes — The 

 Foal — Feeding the Cok — General Observations. 



A good mare will pay the mortgage. 



Keep the trotter notion out of your head. Trotters make 

 mortiia<zes. 





FAMOUS IN THEIR DAY. 



We should rear our own teams and then we can know of 

 what they are made. When a man bu}-s a horse he does 

 not know how many hereditary spavins, ring bones, curbs or 

 blind eyes, or how much heaves he is purchasing at a big 

 price per pound.
