WEANING 633 



There is risk of hoven, which may end fatally, if lambs are 

 suddenly put on wet clover ; or of impaction, developing 

 into " stomach staggers," if the clover be very dry, or if there 

 be not a proper supply of water. Sheep, contrary to a 

 common erroneous belief, drink freely in dry weather, and 

 those giving milk more than others.
