a Vermont farmer recommends the
use of sawdust as bedding for cattle,
to keep them clean and absorb the
liquid manure. An experience OF
twenty years in using on a large
farm shows that it does not injure the
soil, being freely applied in this way.
Some soils, no doubt, would be improv-
ed by the addition of sawdust; others
might be injured somewhat until
the sawdust decayed.

the experiments begun in 1870 by the

which has the greatest value as food

says: I'VE have, by an experiment
which has been continued from three

since it's beginning, obtained evidence
that all the money and labor expend-

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

! The annual report of the General Land Com
missioner has been sent to the Secretary of til,
Interior. 1t is thus condensed in the tele
grams:
1t shows that during the fiscal year ended

wore disposed of, and 6, 4S4 ,99G acres were sur
veyed, in addition to 1874 ,591 ,236 acres prcvi
ously surveyed.
The total number Of acres of public domain
still unsurveyed is about one thousand and
elghty-One millions acres. DiSposals were
mainly as follows: Homestead entries 2GO.
III acres timber culture entries 2,166,574
acres; cash entries 622514 acres; including
1896 acres entered under the desert land law
grants to railroads 27S,334 acres; swamp land,
patented to states 1888 acres; other grants to
states 1892 acres.

for the year greater by G47,2y4 acres than the
total for the previous year. The increase in
homestead entries was S41,7G6 acres, and in
timber culture entries, SAG, 1877 acres
Owing TO the existing laws for the disposal
OF public lands for homesteads and timber cul-
ture, it is shown that during the last fiscal
year with larger disposal of land, there were
received from all sources $l,SS3,ll2, less by
Sl32, AIS than the amount received during the
fiscal year ending June Both, 1878. The act

last March for the protection of timber on pub
lie lands efforts have been continued to sup
press depredatiOns, but they are not extensive,
and the interests of the government and those
'ot the people now residing, or who may desire
to settle IN the region of public tImbered lands,
require that they should be still pursued with
unremitting earneslneSs and vigor.
