Bruised and Cut Feed for Horses.

Oats when given whole, pass in
large quantities through the intestinal
canal with the frees, unmasticated,
and consequently and, when thus
purged, not only give no nutriment to
the body, but harm.
The large intestines OF the horse
and his species, unlike most other ami
mails, are large, and the glands are
constantly pouring forth their secrea-
ton to digest the unmasticated corn,
but without effect this waste of the
secretion must be at the expense of
the animals condition, without giving
any advantage Both these evils are
entirely removed by bruising and cut
ting the animals provender. The
most careless observer Of horses knows
that it is very rare to meet undigcsted
oats in the fcces OF an animal living
on bruised food and cut hay but ex-
actly the reverse of this is seen when
unbruised oats and uncut hay are
given, especially to aged animals
II, Hereford, oats passing undiges-
ted through the digestive tube do no
good but harm, it is natural to sup
pose that an animal can do an equal
amount Of work, with less quantity
of provender, when he gets all the
nutriment from large portion Of
what he eats
According to the experiments of the
best chemical psychologists Of the pre-
sent day, we must conclude that the
mixture Of the food with the saliva, is
of the utmost Importance in effecting
digestion If it is So in the human sub
iect. much more must il be SO with
herbivorous animals whose food con
tains 30 much starchy matter-that
constituent of vegetable upon which
the saliva principally acts, and which
is converted with the clements suita-
Gle for carrying on respiration, and
for producing animal heat.
1t would be out OF place to explain
the whole process of digestion and the
various chemical changes which take
place in the different constituents o.
food as they pass from the moutl
backwards i only mention one ex
pertinent of Make and Reaumur, tc
show the importance Of food being
properly mixed with saliva, and ther
shall endoavor to prove that the whole
of the provender is better masticated
and more thoroughly mixed together
then when given the old way.
The above named gentlemen PROVED
by several experiments, that if foo
was mixed with water only, and place
in the stomach, and the esophagu
tied that although the stomach secre
ted abundance of gastric fluid, it di
not undergo digestion, but if the sam
food was mixed with saliva and Tia
rest of the experiment similarly pei
formed, the food was easily digested.
These and many other experiment
Of similar kind, by men of the high
est standing in chemistry and physio
ogy are conclusive evidence of the in
portance of saliva in the process of d
gestion. Hunting, On The Manageme
