The Mohave Indians of the far west
have one curious superstition that 10
supposed to be one OF comparatively
recent origin. They refuse to eat the
flesh of the beaver and declare that
who SO eats beavers flesh will have a
swollen neck. An agent who has
lived for some time among tho Mohaves
conjectures that some of the Indians
must have eaten tho flesh OF beavers
poisoned for their skins and died with
swollen necks. The memory has been
handed down through the tribe and no

Sawdusi on the Farm.

There are many conflicting opinions re-
garding the use of sawdust as bedding in
the stable. some regarding it valuable
addition to the manure and others as an
injury. Hard wood sawdust is a good alb
sorb,nt and may be used for the stable
with good results but the JOURNAL has al
ways maintained that pine sawdust is an
injury to the land. 1t indorses the article
by correspondent Of the County Gentleman
in which he refers to experience with saw
dust in Michigan where it was used SO free
ly, that mot leaf came above the ground" "
This refers to potatoes. A neighbor had
similar experience, though not as disastrous.
The sawdus. was pine. He adds:
ga dozen years ago used hard wood .w-
dust in my New Jersey dairy under the
cows. 1t was handy to get and clean to
handle, and used it literally. 1t was well
saturated with the liquid and had partly de-
cayed by the time used II, which did with
misgivings put 1t on and in peas and

consi1ered vas due to the fact that it was
chiefly oak and maple, and had decayed con-
siderably and would completely decay in the
moist soil in a short time. continued to
use the hard wood sawdust for several
years but here now in North Carolina, where
there is plenty of pine savdust, let it go
down the river.
"Tbis inadaptability of pine sawdust for
manure do not think exists in the resin in
it, but in the fact that it does not decay, and
when damp becomes completely filled with
mycelium of mildew, so that handful of it
appears matted together with the silkv
threads. This, am inclined to think, at
tacks the softened seed in the soil and so
destroys its vitality before the roots are well
