Cook, Lexington, Ky. the stallion has an aversion to the jennet, and will not mate with her unless he has been reared with jennets. The jack is likewise peculiar in his habits. Jacks will not serve both mares and jennets. Nor will a jack serve a mare at all if reared along with a jennet. In the rearing of mule-breeding jacks, this is a factor of much importance and cannot be im- pressed too strongly. To mate with mares, in order to breed mules, a jack must be raised along with mare colts and not permitted to see or smell a jennet until well broken.
