There is often trouble with alfalfa hay. Oat hay is better. In 

 changing from dry feed to green, however, one must use caution and not 

 give too much. Just a little until they become used to it, as they are apt 

 to overeat and die suddenly. By watching the bowels and not letting 

 them eat too heartily at first, you may in a short time feed freely without 

 danger. Also give good, clean, sweet straw or oat hay, and vegetables, 

 except cabbage.
