Raising of Baby Beeves Is Usually Profitable In feeding baby hooves, It is not necessary to have expensive equip ment. A cuttle stiod, preferably a frame sited, enclosed on three sides and partly enclosed on the south side, is \ery satisfactory us n shelter.

Time to Wean Colts Colts should usually he weaned by j the time they are six months old at ! latest. A severe setback at this time often occurs and Is hard to overcome. if the colt has been taught to eat grain and has been accustomed to be ing kept away from the mare while she has been at work, there will usual* i ly be little difficulty. Colts that have j been eating grain for two or three months will soon learn to get along J without the mother's milk.
