Home Course In Live Stock Farming XII. -Horse Management. By C. V. GREGORY, Author of "Home Course iti Modern Agriculture," "MaltlnJ Money on the Farm." Etc. Copyrlfht, 1009. by American Presi Association THE horse stable, like the cow stable, should be well venti lated uud have plenty of lisut. If the Hours nre of ceim-nt tu7 Should be well bedded as u prottvtlon both to the floor mid to the horses' feet A false floor of plank Is often used over the cement door. Stabls Construction. The stall partitions should be wade especially uoug to keep the horses from kicking one another. Two by fours set flatwise up to about four and a half feet hi height, with a heavy ready made wire partition above that, FtO. IXII. THREE OF A KIND. make a neat, durable ac I not overei penslve partition. The length of the stall should be about nine feet ten Inches from the manger back. The floor should slope slightly back to the gutter. Chutes from which the hay can be pitched from the mow directly Into the manger are a great conven ience and aid .In keeping the barn clean. One or more bos stalls should be pro Tided for the use of the mares at par turition time. They are convenient for sick horses at any time and are almost a necessity If a stalllou Is kept. A small room should be provided near the horses in which the harness can be hung. The ammonia from the ma nure Is very destructive to leather. Besides this, when the harness bangs directly behind the horses It Is occa sionally kicked down and trampled on, the colts get tangled In It, and it causes trouble generally. The young horses do not need an expensive shelter. Horses stand cold weather better than any other class of stock. The most they need Is a good shed with a tight roof and kept well bedded. They can run on the pasture In winter as well as In summer if part of the grass has been allowed to grow up during the fall. One of the greatest objections to letting colts run In this manner Is the liability to wire ruts. Where the pasture is fenced with barb ed wire, especially If the fence Is not kept In first class repair at all times, wire cuts are Inevitable. The loss on one or two colts is enough to pay for putting a good woven wire fence, like that described In article 1, around the entire horse pasture. Three yenrs Is usually the best age to breed mares for the first time. Where they are very large for their age breeding at two yenrs Is an advan tage, as It broadens them out nnd at the same time gives them more grace and symmetry. In this case, however, they should not be 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 that only one 'of the mares will be out of use at a 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 auy 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 kind of feed. Oats are usually too expensive to be fed exclusively, however. There Is probably no better ration for draft horses than one part bran, two parts com and three parts oats. Ground barley may be used iu place of the corn, if oats are exceptionally high two parts instead of three may be used. A handful of oilmeal once a week In the winter will add to the thrift of the animals. The amount of the grain mixture fed should vary from one-half to one aud 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 foul. lo not feed too much hay to work horses. It makes them paunchy and listless. A horse has a comparatively ismall stomach and when at work needs most of the room there for his grain. From three-quarters to a pound of good clover or timothy hay or a mix ture of the two per hundredweight Is plenty when at work. In the winter he can use more roughage aud grain. Never feed horses dusty hay or straw, as it will ruin their wind. Horses should have plenty of water. They will stand the work a great deal better In warm weather If they are given water In the middle of the fore noon and afternoon. If they are to be kept at work tbey may be given all the water they want, but care should be taken not to fill a warm horse up with cold water and then let him stand and cool on" rapidly. It Is an excelleut plun to have a yard near the barn into which the horses can be turned after they have had their supper. They can -roll and drink and. If the yard Is large enough, find a little grass. They will feel a great deal better In the morning than If kept In the barn all night. Care at Foaling Time. The mare uiay be safely worked up to within ten days of foaling. In fact, light work Is better for her than idle ness would be. A mare heavy la foa! should not be required to back, how ever, nor to exert herself too much Iu 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 surest Indication of the ap proach of foaling time Is the appear ance of wax on the teats, which oc curs about three days before parturi tion. At this time the feed should be reducedln amount and a warm bran mash glveu-at night. The addition of a little oilmeal will clean out the In testines aud makes foaling easy. For several days previous to foaling the mare should be kept In a box stall, so that she may become accustomed to the new location. Some one should be at hand when the colt Is born to give assistance If necessary. Do not both er the mare unless It Is absolutely nec essary, however. As soon as the colt Is born the navel cord should be tied tightly, about two Inches from the body, with n string which has been soaked in some disin fecting solution. The cord should be cut just below the point where it is tied and the remaining portion wet with some of the disinfecting solution, The udder of the mare should also be washed with the same solution. At tention to these details will do much to prevent the attack of scours and Joint 111 which so often proves fatal to young colts. Do not be in too big a hurry to get the mare on feed after foaling. A lit tle laxative feed for the first day or two after foaling Is all she needs. In pasture season the mare and colt may be turned out on grass for a few days, gradually Increasing the grain ration at the same time. In case work is pressing the mare may be put to work in two or three days after foaling, but two precautions must be strictly ad hered to first, do not allow the colt to follow the mare in the Held, ex hausting his puny strength In fighting files nnd following his mother up and down the rough furrows; second, do not allow the colt to suck while the mare is very warm. He will be hun gry when his mother comes from the field and anxious to satisfy his appe tite at once, but a little wholesome re straint at this time will teach him a lesson that he must learn some time that his master's will Is superior to his own. Care of the Colt. In two or three weeks the colt will begin to nibble at the hay iu his moth er's manger, and if given a feed box of his own out of reach of the other horses he will soon learn to eat oats. He can be turned out In the pasture with his mother when she is not busy, and after awhile, If the pasture Is 'igi FIO. XXIII. EXTRA GOOD DRAFT STALLION. fenced with something besides barbed wire, he may be turned out with tbe other colts without his mother. With all the grass and oats he can eat, iu addition to his mother's milk, his growth wHl 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 a perilous time for the colt. Too often he Is given the run of the farm, with little roughage other than cornstalks and straw and only a very small allowance of grain or none at all. Many farmers bold up their hands In horror at the thought of giv ing a colt grain every day from the time he Is big enough to eat until be Is marketed. These same farmers, however, think nothing of feeding their calves liberally for two or three years and then selling them for one-third what the colt will bring at the same age. Size and development count for more In a horse than In a steer, and the cost of feed is small compared with the results obialiv-d from liberal feed ing. Some farmers think that a colt will get to he just so big anyway and that liberal feeding only hastens the process a little. This Is a mistake. A rjlt that is stunted when he is young Mil never attain the size that he would If properly fed. Additional weight la a draft horse Is worth at least 23 cents a pound, and it is a mistake not to develop the colt to the limit Stops Lameness Much of the chronic lameness !n horses is due to neglect. See that your horse is not al. lowed to go lame. Keep Sloan's 1 Liniment on hand and apply at the first sign of stiffness. It's wonderfully penetrating goes right to the spot relieves the soreness limbers up the joints and makes the muscles elastic and pliant. Here's the Proof. Mr. G. T. Roberts of Resaca, Ga., R.F.D.

In my estimation the best remedy foi lame ness anil soreness is Sloan's Liniment Mr. H. M.Gibbs,of Lawrence, Kans., R.F.D. No. 3, writes: "Your Lini ment is the best that I have ever used. 1 had a mare with an abscess on her neck and one 50c. bottle of Sloan's Liniment entirely cured her.
