more ravenous than others, and it requires the utmost 

 care to pre\ent a part of them from getting more than 

 their proportionate share. I'his being the case, and it 

 being impossible to feed each separately, as with horses, 

 It naturally follows that other feed must be supplied in

 feed before adding the new corn. In the feeding of 

 new corn there should be no sudden change from the 

 former ration, but it should be added so gradually as

 water, will aid in promoting" health and reduce in no 

 small degree the risk from loss in feeding new corn."
