A brood mare’s ration may be made up of a variety of feeds, however, it is essential that it be nutritious and contain a generous supply of protein and minerals. A good grade of mix­ ed hay, oats and bran will supply all the necessary requirements. A few roots fed daily will also prove bene­ ficial. The amount of hay and grain to be fed daily will depend upon the size of the mare, her condition and the type of work she is doing. Nat­ urally the more work she is required to do — the larger the daily ration, Young mares that have not complet­ ed their growth must be fed quite liberally. , Mares in foal at the Dominion Ex­ perimental Station, Fredericton, N.B. are all provided with airy box stalls and are either required to do light work or take exercise, in the yard each day during the winter months. In the summer they are kept at pas­ ture. During the winter months, they secure on the average a half-pound of grain (3 parts oats and 1 of bran) .and one pound of mixed hay per hundred pounds live weight. The mares are given all the water they will drink-three times a'day and salt it always available. Mares bred to foal in the spring are given one level teaspoonful of potassium iodide in the drinking water on the first and fif­ teenth of each month, from the first of October until the mare foals. This treatment will tend to produce strong foals with greater resistance to dis­ eases, such as joint-ill which is res­ ponsible for the loss of a great many foals each jear. After the foal is b orn, drinking water with the chill taken off is giv­ en to the mare. The mare’s first feed after foaling is always and the grain ration half bran for a week the foal is dropped. complications such as an over supply of milk or indigestion are usually avoided. When .mares arc thin at foaling time, light feeding should on­ ly be continued for a few days. In such cases, the feed is increased, grad­ ually in order to insure a good sup­ ply of milk for the foal. Mares that are required to work while nursing will require liberal feeding, if they are to be kept in good flesh and pro­ vide a generous supply of milk for the foals. News and Information For the Busy Farmer Poultry Parasites At this season red mites and body lice frequently cause serious loss in production, deaths among both the young and the old stock, and consid­ erable time and care may be required to bring the flock back into condi­ tion after the trouble has been lo­ cated. Carelessness or unsanitary condi­ tions are usually responsible for the presence of these pests. They thrive on dirty hens and multiply rapidly in filth if it is allowed to accumulate in corners or cracks and crevices of the henhouse. Lice live entirely on the body of the bird and irritate by crawling and biting. Their eggs are laid at the base of the feahter, usually around the vent or under the wing. Fortun­ ately they are easily controlled and by using ordinary precautions the flock may be kept free and clean. The usual practice on the Experimental Station at Harrow is to apply Blue Ointment, which can be obtained at any drug store. A portion of Blue Ointment about the size of a pea is smeared between the thumb and first and second fingers and rubbed in around the vent and at the base of the wing close to the body, thorough application when the are being p’aced in their winter ters is usually sufficient to keep clean for the year. However, the birds should be examined at intervals be­ cause a re-infestation may occur dur­ ing hot weather. The red mites do not stay on the birds constantly. As a rule they spend the day in some crack or crevice or on the underside of the roosts, prey­ ing on the birds at night by piercing the skin and gorging themselves with blood. The control is comparatively simple.
