Effects of Changing Feed.

Tljie rough, staring coat of calvfes arid colts their first winter is ajwayes due to troubles of digestion from changing suddenly from succulent to dry feed. Butj a part is also due to drinking too little water, because the water in winter is always cold. If water for young animals be warmed to a temperature near that of animal heat, they will drink more freely, and their food will digest instead if remaining in the stomach, breeding fevers aud disease. Do away with constipation in young stock, and most Of the difficulty in keeping them thrifty will be overcome.— Old Kentucky Farm.
