How is the mouth of cow suited to eat her food?

Since a cow tends to swallow food whole (using her very powerful and rough tongue to gather feed or forage and pull it into her mouth to bite and swallow) and then, while resting, bring up the partly digested/fermented matter to rechew it again, a cow does not need the upper incisors to bite off plants like a horse would, just her slanted lower molars and her powerful tongue to do the job while she grazes. Her wide, flat molars are there for the time when she is resting and wishes to chew her cud, not to chew her food before she swallows like we humans do commonly. That is how a cow's mouth is suited to her diet.

Does a cow eat with his tongue?

A cow not only eats with her tongue, but her entire mouth as well. (Always remember that a cow is a mature female bovine, never male, hence it is always important to never call a cow a "he" unless you're talking about a bull or a steer.) Cows will wrap their tongue around a sward of grass, a few strands of hay, or lap up--literally licking up--grain or bits of silage pull it into their mouths to either swallow whole (usually) or chew on it for a second or two before swallowing it.
