82 MARE AND COLT. 



Don't leave the colts out in a cold rainstorm. Better let 

 them go hungry for a little while than expose them in this 

 way. 



Looks go a great ways. The colt that is groomed clean, 

 and is made gentle and handy, will sell for a good price ; 

 while the unkempt, wild and unbroken colt, will not sell 

 at all. 



If the colt carries his tail on one side, employ a skilled 

 veterinary surgeon who will cut a cord on the opposite side, 

 which will remedy the difficulty and add fifty dollars to the 

 value of your horse. 



If the colt's ankles seem a little tired and weak after driv- 

 ing, bathe them thoroughly with cold salt and water and 

 wrap them in bandages, but do not bandage them tightly. 



If a colt should turn out to be very excitable or nervous, 

 the feed of oats should be cut down or stopped altogether. 



TAKEN ON HIS FIRST BIRTHDAY.
