S-AyYDUST AND SHAVINGS.

One good method Of making man.
ufe for your lands is to make shaving
AMI sawdust bedding for your stock
cattle and hogs. We have read the
results Of experiments made by sew
eral, and they are entirely satisfied
with the result. The stock keep
more cleanly than when only straw is
used. This means q good deal,
especially 50 far as milk cows are
concerned. One man is so well
pleased with shavings and sawd ust
that he now buys it, when he does
not get it for the hauling. He pays
l5c bale for shavings. Prof. E.. r.
Voorhees,, Of the New Jersey Expert
mental Station, says that sawdust
may be used or shavings with perfect
safety and the manure is very bene-
fetal to the land, as it rots very
readily, and he is well pleased after
thrce years experience with it. He
says the manure should not be al
lowed to lie in loose heaps and heat
rapidly and thus fire-fang, but il the
liquid manure is mixed with the
solid, and even water added to
get the heap moist, there is no more
danger of loss than il straw were used
Begin at once, farmers, to make your
manure by every means and in every
manner that is convenient. We will
try and render you every assistance
we can by keeping you posted as to
any additional ideas that may show
up in making your fertilizers at home,
and in your fight against the new
hydreheaded monster that is threat.

reports acres Of land in the woods
covered with them and said he would

Nothing sensational occurred. 1t is

sworn in except Roberts, who
was held off for the present. He
however secured seat by accident.
Several members had not been pre-
