At the Ex perimental Farm, Brandon, the colts at weaning time in the fall are giv en a “gallon to a gallon and a half of skim milk daily, when available, in addition to their allowances of hay and grain. Legume hays such as Sweet clover and alfalfa contain more minerals and' protein than the grass hays and are therefore superior. Mixtures of grass and legume hays give better results than when either class of hay is fed. alone. Low quality grass hay and straw contain very little protein or minerals, and consequently these feeds are unsuited for feeding alone to young foals'. ' W Oats is the standard grain feed us ed for both horses and colts. The large percentage of hull in this grain makes it bulky and readily assimilat ed, and hence a safe feed to employ. If other grains are used for colts they should only be included in the mix ture in small amounts. For young horses with good teeth there is very little advantage to be gained by soak ing, cooking, or grinding oats. Where legume hay is being fed, oats alone is quite satisfactory as the grain feed, but where grass hay sup plies the roughage there is an advant age in mixing bran and oats for young foals. With the better grades of roughages, only four to five lbs. of grain daily are required to be fed, but with low grade roughage larger allowances of grain are advisable. great quantities of heat, which should The payability and feeding value of WE, ARE jSVACjBNTS ■:. books PR I NTED /GtlMM ttf TAPE ; dbiig^tions.

It has been demonstrated by the results of feeding trials as well as by actual feeding practice, that the feed nutrients required for growth can be supplied most economically when the animal is young. Liberal amounts of suitable feeds supplied at a later date, after the animal has been retarded in its growth, do not have the same beneficial effects.
