For a two year old stud 8 to 6 mares in a season is cnffioient. For
a thrco ywir old stnd IS to 90 mares. For a four year old stud 80 to 50
maves. For an adult year old Mud nerer more thav 100 mai«s in a

Nerer use drugs to stimulate the sexual appetite. Do not let the
staUion serve more than 6 or 8 mares the fi#st week of the season.
Care of PregnMU Man.
The pregnant mare must have regular and sufficient exercise and
It is usually considered pvaferaUe, when possible, to give this exercise
in harness, as br so ddng the amount of aaereise the mare takes is under
control, at is also the amount, quality and time of feeding. By this
means of exernse also, the mare, when oarofuUy handled is less liable
to injury and helps to pay for her kaep. Authorities on the subject
agree that s mare can do a good heavy day's work without unneeessaiy
SSl.^***J^"^^**^'"°*^- After that His mi
advisaWe and the mare should not be pat to work again for at least two
tracks after birth occurs. In woridng, strenuous eSrt, such as entailed
by a dead puU, working in mud, booking heavy loads or going thromdb
deep mud or snowdrifts should bo avoiM. ^^
P09d for Pregnani Jfors.
Feed tegnlarly and UbwaUy, remember that the brood mare has
a douUo function to perform and it is not sensible to ask her to do it on
wheat straw and water even though she is not working. In winter some
palatable roughage, such as sheaf oats, weU cured hay or fodder com
should be fed st least onoe a day. Hay is a searoe article somotimeB but
the man who makes money out of horses does not feed wheat straw
three times a day all winter to hir brood mares.
