(JAKK Or MARK ANI) COLT.
How to Handle the Colt When the
Mare la Put to Work and How to
Feed Mare for Best Results.
I have a nice mare that la
with foal. She will bring colt
about the middle of May. Can
1 continue to work her up to
time for her to bring colt, and
how long will it be after she has
colt before I can work her? How
often would it be necessary for
colt to suck during day? We
go to work about t> in the morn
ing. stop at 12 o’clock, go to
work at 1:30, stop at sunset.
Would It be best to let colt fol
low mare in Held, or keep at
home in good cool stable, or let
It run In nice large yard?
H. C. W.
Editorial Answer.—This mare
may be worked right up to the time
of foaling without injury to herself
of the colt, if she is handled with
good judgment. She should not be
required to go out of a walk nor
should be pulled hard on a heavy
load. It also goes without saying
that she should not be worked so
bsrd at anything as to unduly tire
her. if by work, heat, or other
cause, she becomes exhausted. Injury
may be done.
She should have at least two weeks’*
rest after foaling. If she does well,
possibly a week or ten days would
be sufficient in so far as the mare is
concerned, but iu justice to the colt
at least two weeks' rest should be
given. The digestive functlous of
the colt are easily disordered, and
it the mare be put to work the flow
of milk will not be so regular, either
In quantity or quality, and conse
quently bowel troubles are more
likely to result In the young colt.
The question as to whether the
colt should follow the mare or be
confined to the stable Is a difficult
one to answer without all the facts
involved in the case. As a general
rule, it Is best to keep the colt con
fined while the mother Is at work.

working the mare and better for the
colt, but one opportunity to suck be
tween tf o’clock in the morning and
sunset Is not enough for a young
colt. Unless the mare Is working a
long distance from the stable, she
should be taken to the barn in the
middle of the forenoon and afternoon
and the colt allowed to suck, until
the colt Is at least six weeks or two
months old. If this is not done the
mare's udder will be full of an
abundant supply of milk when she
goes Into the stable at noon and
ulght, and the hungry colt will take
too much, Indigestion will follow,
and If the colt does not take sick
and die, It Is not likely to do so well
at the best.
A colt nurses often when at liber
ty to do so, and the change to such
long Intervals between nursing must
be made gradually and slowly.
If convenient, the coll should be
removed from the mother for two or
three days before the mare Is put to
work and allowed to nurse say twice
during the forenoon and twice dur
ing the afternoon; then when work
begins, once In the middle of the
forenoon and afternoon, will not be
such a sudden change. If the mare
be a good milker, It will be best to
milk out part of the supply before
the colt is allowed to suckle, In order
that he does not get too much. The
danger is not from the colt getting
insufficient milk, but from getting
too large a quantity at one time.
When the colt is left at the stable
great care must be taken to con
fine him where he can not possibly
get out or hurt himself. The best
place is a box stall with solid walls
and without any manger or other
place in which he can get his feet
fastened, or injure himself in any
way. A lot in which there is shade
would be all right, providing it was
surrounded by a high, tight board
fence. Unless such a lot is available,
a stall is better because the dan
ger of injury is less. Many a colt is
injured or killed in his frantic efforts
to get with his mother when first
confined. After a week or two both
mother and foal will become accus
tomed to the separation, and then all
trouble will be over.
After the colt Is six weeks to two
months old, if the change be gradu
ally made, it may be safe to keep the
mare from him all the forenoon or
afternoon, because by that time he
will have begun to eat oats, wheat
bran and peavine hay, or to eat some
green grass. It is best to teach the
colt to eat just as early as possible
because it increases his growth and
makes the weaning operation less of
a shock.
Corn and corn fodder are not sat
isfactory feeds for a mare In foal
nor for one suckling a colt. These
feeds do not contain enough bone
and flesh-forming materials, nor suf
ficient of the elements needed to pro
duce milk. If oats or peavine hay
are not available, we suggest one
pound of cottonseed meal a day until
the colt is three weeks old, and then
that two pounds a day be given in
stead of double that weight of corn
now being fed.
Feeding Soy Beans to Hogs.
Please tell me If soy beans
will make a good feed to mix
with other feeds to cook for
hogs. O. W. H.
Editorial Answer.—Soy beans will
make an excellent feed to mix with
other feeds for bogs. Some difficulty
may at first be experienced in get
ting the hogs to eat them well, but
mixed with corn or other feeds they
will soon learn, to eat them, even If at
first they do not relish them as well
as feeds usually used.
Soy beans are rich in protein, as
the following comparison of several
feeds will show:
DIGESTIBLE NUTRIENTS IN 100 POUNDS.
Protein Carbohydrate* Fate
Soy Bean*. 29 6 11m. 22-8 lb*. I«.4lb*
Corn . 7.91b*. 66.711m. 4.31b*
Short*... 18.81b*. 13.0 lb*. 3 41b*
Kir* Polish- 9.01b*. £6-4 lb*. 6.51b*
C.S. M**l .... 37.81b*. 16911m. 12.21b*
Probably the protein (digestible)
of cottonseed meal will not now aver
age above 33.6 pounds in 100 pound!
and the oil probably not above 8 oi
9 pounds in a hundred. These
changes from the old standard ar«
due to better methods of the oil mills
which extract more oil, and the ad
mixture of hulls with the meal, which
lowers the protein content.
Probably the best way to feed soj
beans to hogs Is to turn the hogs on
them shortly before they mature and
feed a little corn—only a little, saj
one-fifth or one-fourth of an ordi
nary ration.
it usually does not pay to cook feed
for live stock. If the feeds are at all
Increased in value, this increase Is
not sufficient to pay for the cost ol
cooking.
