then into the smaller second division.
The food. thus softensd. u returned
from the second stomach to the mouth
and more thosoughly masscated and
then passes to the third stomach. This
third stomach has numerous folds. be-
tween which the food 10 pressed. and
the soluble portions directly rssorbed.
It then passes into the fourth stomach
where the ordinary process o. diges-
ton begins In the same manner AZ In
animals having q simple stomach. The
feed ID here subjected TO considerable
motion and % acted on by the so-called
gastric Juice. the active principles OF
which : pspsin AMI hydrochloric
acid. This action Of these substances
changes the protein into a soluble form
called psptone. Neither the fat nor
the carbohydrates undergo any change
in the stomach.
Small amounts Of some kinds Of pro-
tein are 80 changed IN the stomach as
to bs taken directly into the 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 intestines are the bile or gall
Of the liver, the pancreatic juice Of the
pancreas, and the intestinal juice. The
chief use Of the gall is to divide the
fat into very minute globules !. e. to
emulsify It. The bile also aids in the
r%esorption Of the fat. The p~ancreatic
juice contains a 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 still
further converting a part Of the pep
tone into other simpler substances.
Another, no less important ferment Is
the ptyalin, which converts a cQnsid-
cradle 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 It into a
very finely divided condition.
The action Of the intestinal secretion
is not fully understood. It contains.
however, a small amount Of ptyalin.
which changes starchy matters into
sugar.
In addition to the several secretions
mentioned, various bacteria play a
considerable part in the process Of d.
gestion in the small intestine. They
decompose or break down more OF less
protein, convert starch into sugar. and
decompose the cellulose which hitherto
has not been acted upon, into q variety
of simpler substances.
Dairy Notes.
It is difficult for a creamery to thrive
in o community where good farm
papers do not circulate. The dairy
man, that is. the mix producer, must
be a man well-read IL he is to produce
good milk and in sufficient quantities
to make him a profitable patron OF the
creamery. It 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.
Tie owners Of creameries. whether
Individual or cooperative, should. see
to it 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 a certain extent all things
are bound together in the creamery.
and it is. difficult to elevate one kind
Of service without lifting the whole
mass. The patron that delivers milk
to q 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.
