WINTER CARE ;OF THE BROOD
MARE.
Steadily increased interest in horse
breading has been apparent during
the past year. With lowered prices
for farm products generally, many
farmers have come to appreciate the
fact that the rearing of :,a few foals
yearly entails a minimum of labor
and a fair market for feed produced
on the farm.
There Is just this note of warning
to be sounded, there never was a
worse time to raise scrubs • and skates
than the present. There is a demand
for quality drafters. Such a demand
will not only continue but increase,
provided that the right kind of horse
is available. The discouraging con-
dition of the horse market has been
caused not so much by lack of market
as by over -production of something,
the market does not want at any price,;
---the misfit horse, lacking type, qual-i
ity and weight.
Choosing the Brood Mare.—The
stallion gets most of the blame for a
poor colt; the mare gets little, and
the mare's owner blames himself not
at all. Admitting that the stallions
are not, in all cases, what they ought
to be, and that, to many farmers,
choice is limited,—the assertion still
bolds good that, with many of the
mares bred,- the expectation of a good
colt, even•with the service of the best
draft stallion in the world,—resolved
itself into a friendly little game of
dice with Nature's dice box—the laws
of heredity. In such cases, Nature
uses loaded dice,—neatly always! .As
to the other member concerned in the
production of. scalawag horses,—the
Owner, it must be admitted that
many undersized, poorly -developed 3 -
year -olds are the result of hot sum
finers, flies, bare pastures, trudging
after hard -worked mothers, and of
winters where, in so far as the foal
is concerned, a little grain, choice hay
and a few roots are conspicuous rath-`
er by their absence. C
The horse is a necessity on the
farm Even if a man has no pride
fri a horse for a horse's sake, it pays
$o have part of the working comple-
ment made up of mares, and good
brood snares at that, with size, quality,
few hereditary objections and no her-
editary unsoundnesses.
Early versus Late Foaling. -Most
goals come In May and June. Where
he mare is, not worked after foaling,
the foal gets. a good start before the
heat and flies of later summer.' The
tendency to trouble ,at foaling time is
Much greater, however, with the early
foal; the percentage of joint -ill cases
ist, 73. Adelaide 8t. West, Toronto
or those with weak joints or general
weakness will be found greater than
where mares foal later, say July or
even August. The reason for this 3s,,
undoubtedly, the fact that the late
foaling mare spends the spring and
early summer at hard work (reason-'
ably hard work rarely killed an un -1
born foal), and spends' someof her:
time on grass. Her system is eleans-'.
ed, hardened and rebuilt, and her
functions generally keyed up,—the
benefit of all of which is reflected in
a hardy, rugged foal that dies only
through' acts of violence.
A considerationof fall foal rearing
has already been taken up in this,
publication. There are many benefits
and few objections, Suffice, in this
instance, to say that, for reasons al-
ready given, fall foals are almost in-
variably strong foals, free from. taint
or disease.
The In -Foal Mare in Winter.—
While lacking definite information on
the subject, from all that we know,
disease, abnormality and weakness—
with reference to foals—are conditions
practically unknown in bands of wild
horses. Here, of course, nothing but
an outdoor life is possible; there is no
grain bin; feed is often scarce; in the
winter grass may be covered with
snow and reached only by pawing;
after it; Nature permits .of little
standing around in a sunny yard;
and, not in spite of, but because of
these circumstances, there are few if
any weak foals!
Feeds.—A brood mare should get!
but little grain during the frozen per -1
sod. A fair amount of good hay, tim-;
othy, mixed hay, clover or peas, oats
and vetches. One feed a day of well
cured mixed or clover hay or of green.;
cut oat hay is excellent. There is no,
better feed than roots,—the only truly;
natural succulent feed possible in the
winter months. Turnips, carrots or,.
mangels should form at least one feed
daily. They are, cooling, laxative,1
contain earth and earthy salts, are
good for the teeth and gums and,
lastly,—are relished.
Exercise. The right kind of exer-
cise, of course, is regular. work,—en-
forced exercise. The foal, in utero,
develops normally 'where the blood of
the dam is clean: It is accumulation
or insufficient scavenging from the
mare's . system, of poisonous by -pro-,
ducts that generally causes weak foals
or, predisposes to foal ailments. Plenty;
of oxygen, natural and succulent feeds
and work .promote - healthy function -
frig. A. marc - he healthy, natural`[
shape means that the' foal she is
carrying is likely in similar condition.

bulbs from fixtures and attaching al rooms should be provided with wall
cord to the fixture outlet. This causes outlets for portable lamps for dress-
ing tables or for a curling iron. The
use of wall lights beside a dresser is
very questionable practice for farm!
homes. ' The same money spent for
ceiling lights and wall outlets will
give better service. Many women ob-
ject seriously to the use of bracket -
lights for a dressing table as this fixes
the position of the furniture in the
room once and for always the same:
A' convenience outlet should be
placed in the bedroom for use with an
auxiliary heater, curling iron, water

venience outlets will save much time,
save fixtures, and is a paying invest-
ment, besides making a home a con-
venient place to work.
