from the second stomach to the mouth
and more Thoroughly nasticaAed and
then passes to the third, stomach. TMl
third stomach has numerous folds, be,
tween which the food Is pressed. and
the soluble portions directly rssorbed.
1t then passes into the fourth stomach
where the ordinary process Of diges.
tion begins In the same manner as In
animals having simple stomach. The
feed Is here subjected to considerable
motion and Is acted ON by the so-called
gastric Juice, the active principles OF
which are pepein AMI hydrochloric
acid. This action of these substances
changes the protein into a soluble form
called peptone. Neither the fat nor
the carbohydrates undergo any change
in the stomach. E4 q
Small amounts OF some kinds OF pro-
tein are so changed In the stomach as
to be taken directly into tho blood.
But by far the larger part Of the food
now termed chyme. goes from the
stomach into the intestines. to be fur
the- acted upon. The digestive fluids
OF the fntestines are the bile or gall
OF the liver, the Dancreatic juice cf the
pancreas. and the intestinal juice. The
chief use of the gall is to divide the
fat into very minute globules 1. e. to
emulsify 1t. The bile also aids in the
resorption of the fat. The pancreatic
juice contains ferment called trypsin
which acts powerfully upon the vari-
Gus forms Of protein. changing any
that escape the action OF the pepsin
OF the stomach, into peptone. and stiff
further converting a part OF the pep
tone into other simpler substances.
Another. no less important ferment Is
the ptyalia, which converts a consid-
erabls part Of the starch and similar
carbohydrates into sugar (maltose).
The pancreatic secretion also acts In
the same way as does the bile OF the
liver upon the Fat, bringing 1t into q
very finely divided condition.
The action Of the intestinal secretion
Is not fully understood. II contains,
however, a small amount OF ptyalin,
which changes starchy matters into
sugar.
In addition to the several secretions
mentioned, various bacteria play q
considerable part In the process OF d.
gestion In the small intestine. They
decompose or break down more or less
protein, convert starch into sugar, and
decompose the cellulose which hitherto
has not been acted upon. into variety
Of simpler substances.
Dairy Notes |
1t is difficult for creamery to thrive
in a community where good farm
papers do not circulate. The dairy
man, that is. the mix producer, must
be man well-read II he Is to produce
good milk and In sufficient quantities
to make him a profitable patron Of the
creamery. 1t is to the interest OF tho
creamery manager to raise the level OF
intelligence among his patrons In every
way in his power. He should see that
they get hold OF the best literature re-
lating to the work of the farm.
The owners OF creameries. whether
individual or cooperative, should see
to 1t that the buildings of the estab-
lishments are kept neatly painted.
This has q moral effect on the patrons
and serves as strong backing to the
ambitious butter-maker. who wants to
get only clean cream taken from clean
milk. To certain extent all things
are bound together In the creamery,
and 1t is difficult to elevate one kind
of service without lifting the whole
mass. The patron that delivers milk
to shabby butter-maker standing In
the door of a shabby creamery will
instinctively form the opinion that al
most any kind of milk is good enough
to take to that place.

Pig Troughs.
A swine-raiser says: In fattening
pigs they should have the trough room
in length, not In depth. The pig
troughs see around the country seem
many OF them to have been construct
ed with the object of affording bath
accommodation for their pigs; so deep
and wide that the pigs take headers
right into them. The room should be
in length, not In, depth, for all kinds
