It is particularly import­ ant that mares in foal are not allow­ ed to be idle during the winter months as they usually produce weak foals— no matter how they may be fed. 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 j and minerals. A good grade of mixed ' hay, oats and bran will supply all the | necessary requirements. A few roots | fed daily will also prove beneficial, i The amount of hay and grain to be fed I daily will depend upon the size of the mare, her condition and the type of W. work she is doing. Naturally the more , work she is required to do—the larger the daily grain ration. Young marcs that have not completed their growth , must be fed quite liberally. After the foal is born, drinking wat­ er with the chill taken off is given to the mare. The mare's first feed af­ ter foaling is always a warm bran mash and the grain ration contains one-half bran for a week or more af­ ter the foal is dropped. By so doing, complications such as an oversupply of milk or indigestion ate usually avoided. When mares are thin at foaling time, light feeding should only be continued for a few days. In such cases, the feed Is usually increased gradually in order to insure a good supply of milk for the foal. Mares that arg required to Work while imrs- ing their foals will require liberal feeding, if they are to be kept in good Fulfill the wishes of the lucky ones on your Christ­ mas list by picking a gift of smart luggage from our large selections.
