The following simple rule for judging the probable growth of a colb appears in a sporting contemporary : —Take a colb at any time between six weeks old and one year, stand him on a level surface so that he will stand naturally, then measure the distance from the hair of the hoof to his knee-joint, and for every inch or fraction thereof he measures ho will bo hands high when matured. If ho measures 15 inches, ho will grow to be 16 hands high; if 15J inches, he will bo 15J hands high, and so on.
