SaWlust as Bedding.

A correspondent Of the Ameri-
can Agriculturist writes: We
have tried for two years dry saw
dust in the cows stable, and on
the whole like it better than any
bedding we have ever tried. 1t
makes a more comfortable bed,
completely absorbs the urine, and
the COW is kept clean with less la
Dor than when any other is used.
The objection to salt marsh sods,
dried, or to headlsnds and dry
muck is, that they soil the COW and
make it necessary to wash the bag
before milking. Straw, of all sorts
soon becomes foul, and without
more care than the average hired
man is likely to bestow, soils the
cows's bag also. Dry sawdust is
clean, and makes a soft, spongy
bed, and is On excellent absorbent.
The bag is kept clean with the aid
of a coarse brush without washing.
A charge of Is bushels in COM
mon box-stall, or constable will
last month, il the manure, drop
ped upon the surface is removed
daily. The porous nature OF the
material admits of perfect drain
age, and of rapid evaporation OF
the liquid part of the manure
The sawdust is not 80 perfect an
absorbent of ammonia as muck,
but it is a much better one than
straw, that needs to be dried daily
in the sun and wind to keep in
comfortable condition for the ami
mails. In the vicinity Of saw and
shingle mills, and of the ship yards,
the sawdust accumulates rapidly,
and it is a troublesome waste that
mill owners are glad to get rid Of.
It can be had for the carting. But
even where it is sold at one or two
cents bushel, common price, it
makes a very cheap and substan-
tial bedding. The saturated saw
dust makes an excellent manure,
and is so fine that it can be used to
advantage in drills. 1t is valuable
to loosen compact clay soils. There
is choice in the variety OF saw
dust for manure, but not much for
bedding. The hardwoods make a
much better fertilizer than the re-
sinous timber. To keep a mich
COW in clean, comfortable condi-
ton, we have not found its equal.
