this condition the stomach rapidly empties itself and the feeling of 

 hunger again appears. So, also, when feeding with dry fodder is com- 

 menced it is better at the beginning to give at least four different meals, 

 so as to avoid overdistention and-filling of the stomach with this more 

 bulky food. At the end of fattening the meals may be increased in 

 number and reduced in amount, digestion of small amounts of readily 

 digestible foods being now more readily accomplished.
