very fwect and ine, efpecially at firft, whether 

 it be faint-foin, clover, or meadow : but I think 

 carrots the beft of all food for foals, as they 

 keep the body open, which is abfolutely necef- 

 fary to be done. 



Whatever may be the food you choofe to 

 give the foals, a fmall portion of corn muft be 

 Added, with which you will naix a little wheat 

 bran or pollard i and they will foon eat and 

 drink freely. 



When foals are kept up in winter, they are 

 not to be continually immured in the liable, 

 but ought to have a grafs-clofe to run in, let 

 the quantity of grafs be ever fo fmall. There 

 ihould be a barn or ftable in the clofe ; and if 

 there be a fold before the ftable-door the bet- 

 ter, as that will not only ihelter the ftable, but 

 will afford the foals an opportunity of eating 

 part of their food abroad in fine weather, and 

 caufe them to grow hardy by taking exercife, 

 fo neceflkry to the prefervation of health. A 

 foal kept in the ftable cannot poffibly take fuf- 

 ficient exercife, nor can he even in a fmall fold. 



Many ufeful animals may be treated with 

 fuccefs in a manner far different from that re- 

 quired
