Show 4 the lung lungs of farm animals stockmen and others seldom stop to ponder the relation 0 of the lungs of farm animals to the services they tender render yet it is I 1 bel believed leed that eize size cl of the lungs has much to do with the laving on of 0 fat tat as well as of the consuming of fat tat in the exercise of the animal the greatest conserver of fat tat Is the hog and he has the small est lungs ue e sad dad it cheaper to turn food into fat by way of the bug hog than by the use of any other farm animal the smaller the lungs the less car bonic boule acid gas they throw off and the less carbonic add acid gas they throw ob oft the less fat tat do they consume in the creation of that gas the bog Is a fat producer because he has no need of exercising much and therefore no need of using up much energy it would perhaps be better to hay u that he has no need of creating that en erg which would simply go to waste we could not it we would produce fat cheaply by using the racehorse as an instrument he ile has very large lungs and those lungs change fat into carbonic add acid gaa gas very rapidly the racer of all animals requires a well balanced ration and his allowance of carbohydrates carbo hydrates must not be reduced below a certain amount for out of this part of the ration be he must create energy the proteins are indeed feces sary to revier the wasted mw mut les lee but the carbohydrates are the coal from which Is created the abat to drive the machine outs are therefore a most excellent ration for horses as they supply protein and carbohydrate ma nia aerial in about the right pr a the dairy cow and the beet ateer differ in their lung capacity or should diffee the beet does not need lungs correspondingly large with the dairy cow she must transform her ear i foods into milk and butter fat while the steer ha ba only to store up the surplus fat tat he can get 0 it of his food he lie does not therefore change fat into carbonic acid gas as rapidly aa as doca does the cow some lows tows with ith very large lung capacity remain poor all the days of their lives but are most excellent machines for turn ing food into valuable dairy products k
