Sheep husbandry in the South: comprising a treatise on the acclimation of sheep in the southern states, and an account of the different breedsAlso, a complete manual of breeding, summer and winter management, and of the treatment of diseases .. . or cartilaginous connectionbetween the ribs, to the anus. In making this and all similar incisions,hold the edge of the knife upward, guarding its point with the fore-finger,so that the viscera shall not be wounded. The abdomen—the whole cav-ity of the trunk back of the diaphragm or midriff—is now laid is usually necessary for a better examination of the parts to make crossincisions part way between the diaphragm and anus, extending down oneach side several inches toward the backbone. I shall describe the viscera in the order in which I have usually exam-ined them. On opening the abdomen the omentum or caul is found covering the in-testines. It is a thin, and, in a normal state, colorless and transparentstructure, formed of two membranes, between which extend streaks of fatin the form of a net. The external appearance of the stomachs is given in the following cutof those of a young sheep which died of disease. Their arrangement isslightly different in the animal. Fig. THE STOMACHS. a. The oesophagus or gullet, entering the rumen or paunch. b. b. The rumen, or paunch, occupying ihree-fourths of the The reticulum, or honeycomb—the 2d stomach. d. The maniplua, or many folds—the 3d stomach. e. The abomasum, or 4th stomach. /. The commencement of the duodenum or first intestine. g. The place of the pylorus, a valve which separates the contents of the abomasum and duodemim. The walls of the rumen or paunch consist of four coats or tunics—1st,the peritoneal or outer coat ; 2d, the muscular ; 3d, the mucous, coveredwith papillae, or little piotuberances, from which (or glands under which)is secreted a peculiar fluid to soften and prepare the food for re-mastica-tion ; and, 4th, the inner or cuticula
