Show SHOULDNOT NEGLECT COLT if Youngster Is. Properly" Handled From Beginning It Will Not Give . Much Trouble. The farmer' dVning 40 acres 'or more of land, who does not raise at least on'e.'eolt every year, is not doing his test. The mare will da most kinds of farm work ai'idais'e 'her colt without with-out much loss of time". If-the colt is properly handled from-.the beginning it -nili not give much trouble. Never allow it to run after its mother when she is working." This worries and frets the mare, and it wears out the colt. Keep it at the barn, loose in a box stall, and te;npt it with a little clover hay and oats. Early colts will be weaned pret- y soon now. If they have been bronght up to this point right, weaning wean-ing does not mean much. Feed more rpqiionlly with sweet clover hay, oats jinil corn, and the colt will soon be able to take care of itself. Keep it in the barn at night and allow it to run with other young stock in the pasture during the day. |
