"** ' .' • The Secretary then*- read the report of the aggregate of Gen.Sol.Meredith & Sons' sale, last Wednesday, whieh, he thought, showed that Indiana stock is not appreciated so highly at home as in neighboring States. Mr. Olleman. of the Indiana Farmer, asked the President to explain more fully his remarks as to there being a sufficient supply of cattle in Indiana for home eon- sumption. Dr. Stevenson replied that what he intended to convey was, that the supply was about equal to the demand; but that the demand was not nearly so great as it ought to be. Mr. S. F. Lockridge paid a high compliment to the Indiana Farmer, which he considered a paper that every farmer ought to have; but he would like to see the Farmer get up a special live stock department, with a regular editor, whose business it should be to look after tbat department; that he and all the breeders of the State would aid him as far as possible. Mr. Olleman, on behalf of the Farmer, replied that the editors would take the matter under advisement, and if practical, would adopt the suggestion; that in the past the Farmer had given all the attention possible to live stock matters, but that a considerable expense would be incurred in getting up a special department, and that nearly aH the income had been expended in improving the paper. He thanked the gentlemen of the Association for their support, and asked a continuation ; promised to adopt the suggestion of Mr. Lockridge, as far as possible. (Mr. Charles Lowder said that Indiana is especially a good grazing country; and the attention of farmers should be called to Ithe fact, and as soon as they discovered the .Creator mike these \ tnet'cs, or one 'class ?:: If *o, what has produced these \ a rietie's*in.all the*:anim_ls/ iltms- possible ;that .climate and-food, have^nuch to do with. theivarietie-J* of. size.

Up to 1822, no pedigree ofstock had been kept, aiid.it is noteworthy that the best breeds had been broughtto their present improved state before that time. The improvements were effected- by selecting the Dest stock to breed,from, without any reference to pedigree ; and the-leading breeds have-not been improved:upon by the pedigree system. Mr. Stevenson said if he was a young man. he would attempt to get up an American variety of cattle without importing any more. <•'• Messrs. Charles Lowder and S. F. Lockridge spoke in support of Dr. Stevenson's resolution and remarks, and the motion was adopted. The Convention then adjourned until the second Wednesday in November. [For the Indiana Farmer.

HOW RUMINANTS DIGEST THEIR FOOD. • A member of a farmer's club in Vermont surprised some of his associates by talking about the four stomachs of cattle. When digestion is properly done, he said, the first stomach prepares the food for the second, the second for the third, the third for the fourth; but where the food is not properly digested, it sometimes goes directly to the fourth stomach, (that is, within 15 minutes to half an hour). This was denied by some, and some seem to doubt cattle having four stomachs. Will you inform yourreaders in regard to this matter? A. w. T. ANSWER BY MR. L. B. ARNOLD. It is true that a cow and other ruminants have a compound stomach containing four apartments. When coarse food, like grass, is eaten, it is only partially masticated at first, and is passed into the first stomach or paunch. This is the largest division and is about equal to the other three. It serves as a receptacle to hold the coarse, half- ground food until the animal has leisure to remasticate. While there it is kept in motion by the worm-like contractions of the muscular coatings of the sack, and is saturated and softened by a slightly acid juice that is poured out upon it, and under- tx, t*r■* tiched to the brinching termination of f» «>( the o-ioplngus It is filled with a greater ''"■" "" ' number of folded divisions,in passingjover which'the ,fobd undergoes,a further elaboration preparatory to the action of the fourth or last division, iri which the digest- '"ve'process. is '-completed. It passes directly frdm-'the-: third i'lib'.-tlie' fourth stomach, and tlie'/wprk of digestion is-.So'far advanced that the labor of this division is quickly and perfectly performed. The fourth stomach is designed to receive the food-only in the plastic condition it assumes in passing' through the three other divisions with the added influence of re^- mas'tication. Ir is not calculated to takp in, like1 the first stomach, food in a coarse, fibrous state, unfermented, unsoftened, and unprepared by the partial digestion of the third division. The food of the entire bovine race, when taken in its natural condition, as grown in the field or forest, always takes, in the process of digestion, the course we'have described. The lower end of the meat-pipe branches out at its connection with the stomach, so that it can connect with any ofthe four divisions, and to aid and insure the passage of the partially masticated food into the proper receptacle, the termination of the meat-pipe,' at its connection with the first stomach is lined with papillae, bent like card teeth, the action of which helps the coarse food along to the place it should go. But in their dome'sticated state cattle do not always take their food in the coarse condition their peculiar and huge digestive ap- 200 00 280 00 125 00 180 00 200 00 :moo 200 00 425 00 paratus indicates it was designed to be received. It is desirable to feed them grain and otherfeed that is pulverized even finer than their re-mastication would make it. In this condition the papillae cannot grasp it to haul it along into the rumen and it falls directly into the fourth stomach. Perhaps the will of the animal may have something to do with the direction the food takes. But certain it is that very fine food like corn meal, when fed alone, goes directly into the fourth stomach, missing entirely the other three, and the preparation for digestion they were calculated to give it. This I have repeatedly demonstrated, as any one else may do, by feeding meal to animals that were to be slaughtered immediately, and searching for it as soon as the stomach can be reached. It is always found only in the fourth stomach. Receiving food in this unprepared condition, the natural work of the fourth stomach is augmented and prolonged. If only a small quantity of meal is fed in this way, it will, nevertheless, be digested very well, but if fed in any considerable quantity the labor of this division is so much increased that the digestion is impaired, and the meal goes out ofthe stomach and indeed out of the animal undigested. This is proved by an examination of the fceees. To prevent this occurence, hay or straw, cut or long, may be thoroughly wet and mixed with it. The meal will adhere to tbe coarse food and be carried along with it into the rumen, and pass-through all the atomachs and all the preparation they are designed by nature to give. The increased; benefit derived from feeding ground food io this way where liberalfeeding is desiraMe, amouats to considerable. Fed in this way a cow can digest from, ope-fourth to one-third more ground feed, besides digesting it more completely, than, when the feed is given alone. This is q.uitp a consideration in feeding for milk or beef, llegarding the animal as a machine for converting into milk or beef the excess; of food that can be digested over and above what it requires to supply the waste |ind wear ofthe body, it pays to run the machine up to its fullest capacity, converting into the'desired product the largest possible excess. Apples or roots pulped or sliced serve the same purpose as wet hay in 'carrying meal into the first stomach. In feeding animals with a single stomach, this mode of feeding is not of so much consequence. But it is even better to mix ground feed with coarse, to preveut it from packing, and to give a more desirable bulk for the stomach, by its peristaltic motion, to act upon. The looser and more open the food can be kept in the stomach, the more readily and thoroughly will the gastric juice be mingled with it, and the more rapidly and completely will it digest. The condition of tlie food for domestic animals, and the manner in which it is compounded, is a matter well worthy ofthe attention of all who have animals to feed. While there are special reasons for properly compounding food for the stomachs of ruminants the proper' conditions for single stomachs should not be overlooked.—JV. Y. Tribune. ' Raising Sheep. Successfully,—There is no difficulty in raising sheep successfully, if the necessary care be taken. This can ■'all the more easily be secured if but few are kept. Then there is a chance of properly seeing'to them, and keeping only good stock, which is the most profitable. The farmer who has the long-wooled, heavy bodied sheep, has a great advantage in his lambs. With,a small flock it needs but little care to save the lambs, and command early in tho season, not only the top price, but more, if the breed is a large, heal thy one, and the lambs come early and are well taken care of. The wool also will realize well. If there is land to be cleared of shrubs and weeds, or it is steep or broken up so that tho plough cannot be used, sheep are the thing to subdue it and establish a growth of grass. No greater profit can be realized from such land than by keening sheep. * But even when the land is all tillable, and heavy crops can be raised, a few sheep can. in general, be kept with* advantage, as there is always time enough to see to a few sheep. See to them well, keep only what is good, poviding always there is a near and good maket. This, on the principle of carrying all the parts in farming, so far a-s climate, locality, etc., will admit. Even during the depressed period, when sheep were slaughtered in the West for their pelts, and wool was a drug, there were farmers who "made it pay "to keep sheep—they were heavy, long-wooled, bore large lambs prolifically, which found a ready and good market, while the wool—combing wool—from such sheep, kept in the best manner, so as to secure in perfection the finest properties to the fleece, realized something, and could always be sold, however stagnant and reduced the market. Then, instead of two or three pounds of wool per head, five to seven were averaged. Those men continued their sheep with litte or no loss—some averring they realized profit during_ the discouraging period; and when the times changed and flush prices prevailed, (as is always the case in any branch,) they got the benefit—they were the only ones there to receive it, the rest having withdrawn, and they have been receiving it ever siuce. It is not a question whether this or that branch will pay best.—Cor. Utica Herald. Breeding to the Standard.—The poultry papers are full of breeding to the standard. Every breeder of pure-bred fowls must take it as their guide. But for farmers who keep poultry only for eggs and raising poultry for the market, the standrrd is not of much account. I am a strong believer in pure-bred poultry for profit; but if a good,*pu're cock is used on a good lot of common hens, the chickens will be as good layers, usually, as the pure breeds. A well marked cock of any of the ^ja fancy breeds will command a high price. (j2^ Every breeder has a few disqualified cocks * " that are just as good to use with common hens, that can be bought cheap.^If a farm- \ er wishes to keep hens for eggs and no chickens, he wants some of the non-sitters; sometimes he can find Hamburgs, or Leg- horns that have badly-marked plumage, or [Continued on Fifth Page.] w*?-
