Such cattle as have been in the yard or sheds, and 

 supported by soiling, may now have their food gra-

 cut chaff will do ; but not near so well as cabbages 

 or carrots : both which will fat a large ox as well as 

 any food. You may either stall-feed them under 

 cover, or let them be loose in a straw-yard, well lit-
