Chewing the Cud.

| Every child living in the country
has stood and watched this curious
| operation, and wondered what the
lump was which he saw come up in the
cows throat, and then go down again
after she had chewed it for a certain
length of time. And perhaps he may
have seen the anxiety and turmoil pro-
duced on a farm by the report that
some one of the cows had "lost her
cud," and as the result of this excite
ment he may have seen the absurd at
tempt to make a new cud, =" in the
hope that the COW would by such
means be restored to good condition.
A very large tribe of animals, OF
which sheep and cows are only familiar
examples, are called in works of natural
history Ruminantia because they all
ruminate, they chew the cud. They
do so because their peculiar organs Of
digestion require it; they can get their
nourishment in no other way. They
have, it is said in the books, four stom-
achs, but the statement is not strictly
correct, for the entire digestion is done
in a single, that which is called the
fourth, the other three being only
places for preparatory work. Their
food is swallowed without being chew
ed; the chewing is to come later.
When this unche we'd food is swallow
ed it passes directly into the first stom-
ach, to use the common term; but the
drink which the animal takes goes
straight past the entrance of the first
into the second. These two serve only
to soak and soften the coarse food.
When the first has done what it can,
the food passes out of it into the second,
and then the COW or sheep is ready to
"chew the cud"
The second stomach while busily at
work in soaking the food, keeps in mo-
tion, and gradually rolls it up into
masses, so that in the small upper part
there is formed an oblong solid lump
of the size that we recognize as the
"cud." This the animal throws up in
to the mouth, and chews with evident
ly as much satisfaction as the same act
of mastication gives US when we put
the most DELICATE morsels between our
teeth When it is sufficiently chewed,
the mass is swallowed and its place
taken by another which had been roll
ed up in the meantime.
But the "cud" thus masticated does
not return to the second stomach, from
which it had come. 1t passes smooth
ly into the third, place for additional
fabrication, aud then into the fourth,
where the true digestion begins and
ends.
This is, in brief, the whole story, and
we see how naturally the chewing
comes in; it is the same as in our own
case, only it is at a different stage Of
the foods progress. And we see also
what closing the cud" really is. The
COW or sheep is suffering from indiges-
tion; the "second stomach" has failed
to roll up the little masses suitable for
chewing, and there is nothing which
the poor beast can bring up. Ofcourse,
therefore, the one thing required is to
restore the tone and power Of the stom
ach; not to burden it with an artificial
cud," which would only increase the
difficulty, instead of relieving it.
