AIDS TO DIGESTIoN.-The O easily
food can be digested the more rapidly
it will be assimilated to be employed
in forming fat and muscle, and in sup
plying the necessary fuel for keeping
up animal heat. In the ruminants, food
is, of course, clIewed Over a second time,
and as q rule is more cffectually masti-
Gated than is the case with horses and
pigs. Still, however perfectly mastica-
tiOn may be performed, a good deal OF
food, especially grain, escapes the grind
ingactiOD of the teeth, and passes through
the stomach and a!imentary canal III
digested. Proof of this may be 0bserv-
ed in grains OF oats, which actually ger
inmate after passing through the diges-
tive canal OF a horse. An immense W
ing is affected by bruising, pnlping, and
crushing all kindsof food given to feed
ing stock and draught horses, and the
only wonder is, when SO many clever
machines are to be purchased, that the
practice is not universally adopted. We
are no believers iu giving food to animals
condensed into a small space ; bulk is in
all cases essential TO healthy actiOnrOt the
digestive organs, but concentrated mat
tiers containing highly nutritive proper
ties may be rendered most valuable and
efficient, by adopting the easy process
OF cutting hay and straw into chat, and
mixing it in with the condensed mater
ial. Straw especially may be utilized In
this way, that under other conditions,
an animal would not eat. The food is
quicker and easier passed on to be di-
gested the longer time q beast has to
sleep ahd rest, and hence the waste OF
material consequent ueon moving about
is economized.-ILana and Water.
