DRAUGHT AND FAMILY HORSES. 51 



will never hurt a colt, with carrots two or three times a 

 week. Be careful that he has good air and exercise. Some 

 farmers think they will raise a colt beeause it will not cost 

 much, for he will eat the orts which the stock refuse. The 

 only reason the colt will eat them is because it is so 

 nearly starved. A colt thus cheaply kept, often dies the first 

 winter, but if he chances to live, is obliged to be raised 

 nearly every morning ; but if properly kept, will raise him- 

 self, with head and tail in the air, and thus acknowledge 

 your kindness to his coltship; and when grown to the 

 proper age for the market, can be sold for from two hundred 

 to five thousand dollars, which pays a large profit for the 

 expense and care bestowed by his owner, and our markets 

 will soon be filled with the finest stock of horses in the 

 world. Let us, as a society, start right, and others will soon 

 follow, and thus challenge the world to compete with Massa- 

 chusetts in raising fine horses.
