MARE AND COLT. 



8l 



What is a colt good for without good joints ? They are worth 

 more than size or style. We can have both, but by all means 

 have good joints, and to get them there must be phosphates 

 in the feed, and the bran and oats contain these. 



If the little colt is fed cow's milk, it should be boiled, as 

 it will then dicrest it easier. 



If the weanlings are kept in the stable, give them plenty 

 of bedding, so that there will be some spring under their 

 feet. Sawdust is good. Colts kept on a dry, hard floor will 

 get sore in their joints and may become curbed or throw out 

 ring bones. ^Standing on manure is not good. If the floor is 

 wet and slippery they are likely to slip, and in this way be- 

 come blemished.
