DIGESTION OF FOODS.
A p lain, Practical Talk on the Science
Of Feeding.

1T is not what is eaten, but what
is digested, that nourishes," is an Ak
iom OF the medical doctor, and this
applies with equal force to the animals
OF the farm, although many breeders
and rearers of stock display a much
greater interest in what to feed" than
in the question of "how to feed.' One
authority says that 1T is not sufi-
cient to know that certain substances
possess great nutriment, and that 9th
are are practically useless, but it must
be known what foods are most suited
to the varying conditions Of the or
ganism, in what form these should be
administered, and to ascertain how the
best feeding can he obtained in the
most economical manner" The ar
rangement Of the digestive apparatus
of animals has an important bearing
on their system of feeding, and what
is right and proper for one is quite
unsuited to the other.
The small and single stomach Of the
horse, its capacious bowels, and the
absence Of the gall bladder, ere in
marked distinction to the enormous
stomach Of the OK, the small intes-
tines and the presence Of gall blad-
der, and thus the feeding Of cattle and
sheep differs much from the feeding
of pigs from either
The object Of food is to build up and
repair the tissues and maintain re-
serve for the body requirements, says
the Montreal Herald, but food as re-
ceiVed is quite useless for the purpose
Of the body, and before it can be uti-
Hzed it must form part Of and parcel
OF the animal, either in the solid or
liquid tissues. The digestibility Of
food is its power of undergoing alb
sorption into the body for the purpose
of nutrition, and in every food given
to animals there is distinct diges-
ton of the proteid, fat and carbchy-
drate in it. The amount Of these
which are absorbed under favorable
conditions is fairly definite, but under
unfavorable conditions, such as the
food being BADLY cured" or there be-
ing too much carbohydrate present, or
too much or too little proteid in the
diet the amount absorbed departs
from the normal, and less is extracted
or less stored up than would have been
the case had conditions been favora-

The Hoq House Door.

nalf-inch iron rod is fastened across
the upper batten with eye bolts. This
gives the door free play to swing in
and out. The ends of the rods run
into the door-frame on each side, and
to prevent che door from binding an
iron collar is slipped on the rod each
side of the door. 1t solves the prob
lem of cold or drafty sleeping quar-
ters, says Montreal Herald. Hogs can
go in or out at will and the door is al
ways shut after them. If lots of air
is wanted the door is easily propped
open.

PEELED to manufacture on very large

been precipitated at Chicago by num-
Der of farming machinery companies
openly declaring their intention to fight
against the "trust" prices and methods
of the iron and steel combine of the

them in their efforts to obtain just

to the consumer we hope this fight ma!
be successful.
