If animáis are left ungroomed they lick the dead hair ofE tbeir coats, and swallow it. When green food forms a constant part of tlieir diet the hair is carried away in the droppings. If no green meat is given, then the balls are formed, and can only be got rid of by the use of emetics. Sometimes cowk are made seriously ill by this complaint. In some parts of the country the common people valué these balls, and keep them in their liouses as charms. I have known dogs to be thus afflicted, and it has always, in my experience, been the result o"f neglect in grooming and feeding. - London Live Stock Journal.
