Feeding 8 5 



In winter I have mangolds thrown out of a cart while it is 

 being driven along, so that the deer get them evenly distributed 

 amongst them. If the mangolds are put too much in heaps the big 

 stags take them all, and are liable to hurt any other deer trying 

 to feed from the same heap. 



Acorns are very liable to kill deer, if they eat too many 

 freshly fallen ones. Sika deer, which like to search for acorns, 

 are especially liable to get too many and poison themselves. I 

 generally pay children to collect acorns in the park, and then keep 

 them till they are dry, when the deer are fed with them in 

 moderation.
