Cooking Grain Food for Stock.

Starch forms 90 per cent. of corn, so per
cent of rye, 30 per cent. of barley and 40
per cent. of oats. These are the principal
grains used in fattening. A good part of the
animal heat is produced by a slow combus-
ton or union of oxygen and carbon. The
oxygen is derived from the air taken into
the lungs in breathing, and the carbon from
the starch in the food. Starch being COM
posed of carbon and water, whatever part
of the starch is not used in the production
of heat makes fat. Lieoig first asserted
this. 1t was doubted by German scientists,
but Lawes and Gilbert cOncusively proved
il by carefully conducted experiments. We
thus see that starch, producing both heat
and fat, the one essential TO health and life,
the other TO gain, is a very important ele-
ment of the food or animals, and should be
completely utilized. Starch is i'm the form
of minute globuleS. 1t is insOluble in cold
water, but when water is at the boiling
point it is absorbed by the starch globules,
which then swell and burst.
The juices of the alimentary canal are
not warm enough to cause all the globuleS
10 burst, especially when the starch is sub
jected to the rapid action of the stomach, so
there is partial waste, hence the advant-
age of cooking food containing starch. We
cook our own food, fruits, grains and vege
tables. containing starch, to make it more
digestible and nutritious. The same ends
are accomplished by cooking grains for
hogs and cattle. How much is the gain?
Hon. George GeddiS says pound of cooked
corn is worth two pounds raw. Mr.. Sulli-
want. basing his assertion upon many eX-
periments and statistics, says that bushel
of corn fed in the ear raw, will make nine
pounds of pork; if cooked it will make SIX
teen and One-half pounds of pork. Prof.
Stewart thinks these hgures little high for
ordinary feeding. but he does support the
correctness Of the ratio given between raw
and cooked food.
