Eighteen of the twenty foals produced by our six breeding mares in the past five years reached saleable age or are on the farm today. Three of these are being retained to take the places of mares growing old. 6ix have been sold for a lump sum of $1,450. Three three-year-olds are earning their board this season. Two two-year-olds and four yearlings are on pasture doing their best to grow into horses before prices go lower. During these five years we have sold for $1,300 seven others produced in the preceding years. The $500 per year returned by these mares asid'3 from the work they do, work that some sort of horses must do, is in large part profit. We consider that this is good pay for any extra work or inconvenience that the colts may cause, as well as for the extra feed and care that they require.
