ness or minute particles before swallowing it, but it is also essential that this process be continued sufficiently long to enable a certain portion of the salivi of the mouth to become intimately mixed with the ground mass of the food. The salivais an active chemical agent. It consists of an alkaline fluid, and contains, potash. soda,

lime, combined with an organic matter called ptaline, and various other coms pounds of these alkaline substances. This |

fluid has a curious effect upon starch, viz, that of changing it into sugar and destrine. This isan exceedingly important process in the operation of digestion. Starch is an msoluble substance, but sugar and des- trines are readily soluble and capable of absorption into the system. As a large ‘ ‘0 tion of the horse’s food consists of starch, oth in the hay and grain, it is manifestly important that the process of masticating the food be continued long enough to ens able a sufficient quantity of saliva to bes come secreted and mingled with the food to enable the change of the insoluble starch to consummated. When the food is hastily only impartially chewed and swallowed, this needed quantity of saliva is withheld and the food is not fully di- gested. The consequence is either a large waste of food, which passes off undigested, and a resulting proportionate increased consumption, or a variety of ill effects from chronic indigestion. A bad habit of body, hidebound, @olics, and various other trous bles result, the cause of which is not often suspected. From motives of economy food, and care for the health of the horse, this frequent habit should be discouraged. Horses addicted to it should never be fed on grain, either whole or ground, without this mixture with it of hay or straw, cut or chopped. Nor should the hay be very finely cut, alength of one or two inches being preferable, to a shorter length. A modicum of salt should also invariably be given with each feed for the reason that a small quantity of salt provokes a more abundant flow of the needed saliva.
