Horse Management. By C. V. GREGORY, Author of "Home Course In Modert Agriculture," "Making Money on the Farm." Ltc. Copyright, 10O9, by American Pre,, Association THE horse stable, like the com stable, should be well vontl lated and have plenty of light If the lloors are of cement they should bo well bedded as n protection both to the tloor utul to the horses' feet. A fulse floor of plnulc Is often used over the ceuicut tloor. Stable Construction. The stall partitions should be made especially strong to keep tho horses from kicking one another. Two by fours set flatwise up to about four anil a half feet hi height, with n heavy ready made wire partition above that WCWtftSv w V -..v..M; !, -, I'ta. XXII. fUHEE OP A KIND. make a neat, durable nnd not overex pensive partition. The length of the stall should be about nine feet ten Inches from tho manger back. The floor should slope slightly buck to the gutter. Chutes from which the hay enn be pitched from the mow directly into the manger are a great conven ience and nid In keeping the barn clcau. One or more box stalls should be pro vided for the use of the mares at par turition time. They are convenient for sick horses nt anj time nnd are almost n necessity If a stallion Is kept. A small room should be provided near the unrtica In which the harness can be hung. The ammonia from the ma nure is very destructive to leather. Besides this, when the harness hangs directly behind the horses it Is occa sionally kicked down and trampled on. the colts get tangled in It. nnd It causes trouble generally. The young horses do not need nn expensive shelter. Horses stand cold weather better than any other clnss of stock. The most they need Is a good shed with u tight roof and kept well bedded. They can run on the pasture In winter ns well as In summer If part of the grass has been allowed fo grow up during the fall. One of the greatest objections to letting colts run in this manlier is tho liability to wire cuts. Where the pasture Is fenced with barb ed wire, especially If tho fence Is not kept In first class repair at all times, wire cm are Inevitable. The loss on one or two colts Is enough to pny for putting n good woven wire fence, like that described In article 1. around the entire horse pasture. Three years Ih usually tho best age to breed mares for the first time. Where they are very large for their age breeding nt two years 1r an advan tage, us It broadens them out nnd at the same time gives them more grace and symmetry. In this cane, however, they should not lie bred the following year, so that they may have an oppor tunity to complete their growth. It Is best to so manage the breeding that the colts will come at different times, so thnt only one of the mares will be out of use at n time. The colts should come at times of the year when the work Is slack, as far as can be ar ranged. Feeding. There Is no better feed for mares or for horses of any kind than oats. In addition to their high feeding value, they seem to have a stimulating ef fect, keeping the animals In better spirits than any other Mud of feed. j Oats are usually too expensive to be fed exclusively, however. There Is p.'li.ibly no better ration for draft ' i.n.-xes than one part bran, two parts ; nrn and three parts oats. Ground barley may be used In place of the corn. If oats are exceptionally high two parts Instead of three may be used. A handful of ollmeal once a week In th winter will add to the thrift of the aultnuN. The amount of the grain mixture fed should vary from one-half to one and a quarter pounds to the hundred pounds of live weight per day. The first amount Is about right for Idle horses, while the latter Is for animals at hard work or nursing a foal. Do not feed too much bay to work horses. It makes them paunchy and listless. A horse has a comparatively fiinnll stomach nnd when at work needs most of the room there for his grnln. From three-quarters to a pound of good clover or timothy liny or n mix ture of the two per hundredweight Is vlenty when nt work. In the winter he can use more roughage and les grain. Never feed bort.es dusty hay or straw, as it will rum their wind. Horses should tunc plenty ot water. They will stand the work a great deal better In warm weather if they arc given water In tho middle of the fore noon nnd afternoon. If they are to be kept nt work they may ho gUen all the water they want, but onto should be taken not to till a warm horse up with cold water and thou let him stand and cool oil' rupldl.x. It Is an excellent plan to have n yard near the barn Into which tin horses can be turned after they lime had their supper. They can roll ami drink nnd. it the yard Is huge enough find a little grass. The. will feet a great deal better In the morning than if kept In the hum all night. Care at Foaling Time. The ninre may be safely worked up to within ten day: of foaling. In tact, light work Is better for her than Idle ness would he. A mare heaxy 111 fo.i' should not be required to hack, how ever, nor to exert herself too much In pulling heavy loads. Working In the mud Is also bad for her aud If kept up for any length of time Is likely to cause abortion. The suroRt Indication of the np proach of foaling time Is tho appear ance of wax on tho teats, which oc curs ubout three days before parturl tlon. At this 1 1 1110 the feed should be reduced in amount and n warm bran mash given at night. The nddltlon of a little ollmeal will clean out the In testines and makes foaling easy. For several days previous to foaling the ninre should be kept In a box stall, so that she may become accustomed to the now locntlon. Some one should bo at hand when the colt is born to give assistance If neccssnry. Do not both er tho mare unless It Is absolutely nec essary, however. As soon ns the colt to born the nnvel ord should bo tied tightly, about two Inches from the body, with a Btrlng which has been sonked In some disin fecting solution. The cord should be cut Just below the point where It Is tied nnd the remaining portion wet with some of tho disinfecting solution. The udder of tho mare should also be washed with tho same solution. At tention to these details will do much to prevent the attack of scours and. Joint III which so often proves faint to young colts. Do uot be In too big u hurry to get the inure on feed after foaling. A lit tle laxative feed for tho first day or two after foaling Is all she needs. In pasture sonsou the mare ami colt tnrij be turned out on grass for a few days, gradually Increasing the grain ration at the same time. In case work Is picsslng tho mare may bo put to work lu two or three days after foaling, but two precautious must be strictly ad hered to first, do not nllow the colt to follow the ninre In the Hold, ex hausting his puny strength lu lighting tiles and following his mother up nnd down the rough furrows; second, do not allow the colt to suck while the mare Is very warm. Ho will be hun gry when his mother comes from the Held and anxious to satisfy his appe tite ni once, but a little wholesome re straint at this time will tench him a lesson that he must learn Mime I line that his master's will Is superior to his own. Care of the Colt. In two or throe weeks the colt will begin to nibble at the hay lu his moth er's manger, and If given n Uwl box of his own out of reach of the other horses he will sunn loaruto eat oats, lie can he turned out In the pasture with hh mother when she Is uot busy, ami alter awhile. If the pasture Is PIG. XXIII. EXTltA OOOD DIIAPTBTAI.MOM. fenced with something besides barbed wire, he muy be turned out with the other colts without Ills mother. With all the grass mid oafs he can eat. lu addition to his mother's milk, his growth will be rapid. A colt that learns to eat well before weaning time will suffer little check in growth at that time. The first winter Is u perilous time for the colt. Too often hi is given the run of the farm, with little roughage other than cornstalks and straw aud only a lory small allowance of grain or none at all. Many farmers hold up their hands lu horror at the thought of giv ing a colt grain every day from the time ho Is big enough to eat until, he Is marketed. These same farmers, howevor. think nothing of feeding their calves liberally for two or three years and then selling them for one-third what the colt will bring nt the same nge. Size and development count for more In a horse than In a steer, and the cost of feed Is smnll compared with (ho results obtained from liberal feed ing. Some farmers think that a colt will get to bo Just so big anyway and that liberal feeding only hastens tin process a little. This Is a mistake. A colt thnt Is stunted when he Is young will never attain tho size that he would If properly fed. Additional weight In a draft horse is worth at least 25 cents a pound, and It Is a mistake not to develop the colt to the limit. tBHBELaaaaLaWVY 5?""'"' $$$ &'&'& 1 4jr JAS.
