BEDDma FOR STABLES.
sawdust or shayings Ideal For the
Comfort OF the Dairy, Cow.
n g. F. DOANE. MarYland.

BY G.. +. DOANE, Maryland.
Il is not likely that sawdust is avail.
able in many localities, but ewheregit
ean be procured it viii cost IT /
cent per hundred pounds, which makes
it a comparatively cheap bedding. 1t
must be said that the sawdust, every
thing considered, was the most salts
factory of the materials used in tests.
1t kept the cows cleaner than'anything
else and stayed In place better, as It is
not as easily showed around as are the
straw and stover. 1t can be made to
look cleaner and neatcr than either OF
the other materials and, unlike the
straw and stoYer, is entirely free from
dust. The only possible objection that
could be urged against 1t is that it car
rles so much moisture as toSmake it
little damp, but 1t Is very doubtful if
this has any bad effect. The sawdust
from the pitch pines of the southern
states is said to have bad effect on
the sandy soils OF that section. The
sawdust decays slowly and has a tend
ency to loosen mp a soil already too
loose. This objection would hardly
hold good sitside OF the pitch pine re-
gions or on clay land Sawdust ma
nure is ideal for scattering on fields.
saYydust or shnvings.
Practically MI that can be said in IA
vor of the sawdust is true of the shay
ings, and it is also quite dry. 1t is
without the Objectionable dust Of straw
and stover, 1t makes a fine appear
ance The only objection is that it is
light, and a strong breeze blowing
through the stable is likely to scatter
it, but ordinarily it stays under the
cows well ana is not easily showed
about The shayings used come hailed
| and cost about Sc to 81 per ton in car
lots. The test shows that it would re-
qulre about 100 pounds per COW for a
year
For the strictly sanitary dairy, saw.
dust and saavings are the ideal bedding
materials, though the ordinary dairy
farmer could not be advised to buy
when be could raise either the straw or
the stover. There is a little dust in
| shaYings, but it would have no effect
on the wholesomeness of the milk, as
the dust from the shavings is generally
small particles Of wood and seldom
contains any molds or bacteria. AS
was stated befo the sawdust is damp
and has no dus.. Moreover, both of

roads question in the minds of some
cause they think that good roads, as
advocated, mean the macadamiZing of
all roads, main roads, crossroads and
all, and on account of the expense they
naturally oppose it. This is Il mistake,
for good roads can be made out of dirt
as well as other material. and of neces-
Sity dirt roads or improved dirt roads
will continue to be used for many
years to come on crossroads and the
less travelled roads. The good roads
movement is only in favor of hard
roads on the main thoroughfares and
heavy travelled roads, where dirt roads
would not stand the travel-in other
words. the construction of roads adapt
ed to the needs of the travel over them
In my Judgment, l think that the
ideal country road is a hard road cen
ter, with dirt road driveway on either
side. This presents advantages for
both wet and dry weather, and when
ever practicable and possible, 10y sutfi-
cient width outside of the trenches,
should favor the construction of good
roads in this way.
The subject of good roads is very
important question and one that is tru-
ly worthy of our effort and careful
study. There are many important fea-
lures to be brought out in discussion
of this question, one of which | am
pleased to present as wheels of prog
ress" in this movement | refer to the
use of wide tire wheels. They are road
makers instead of road breakers. AL
ready number of the eastern and
central states have enacted legislation
favoring the use of wide tire wheels.
England, France and Germany have
all recognized the benefits of wide
tires as road maintainers and prohibit
the hauling of heavy loads without the
use of them the width to be in proper
ton to the tonnage. Six inch tires are
very common in France, and the gov
ernment is encouraging the use of
wagons built with the rear axle eX-
tending wider than the front wheels,
for the purpose of giving greater roll
ing surface.
In this way two feet or more is rolled
by the travel of the wagon, and 1t has
been proved that very heavy loads can
be hauled without injury TO the roads.
1t has also been demonstrated by tests
that the draft of wide tires is equal TO If
not less than the narrow tire on hard
roads, making their use u double ad-
vantage to good roads.
Some one asks, "If wide tires are such
good thing, can't they be used to i'm
prove our present bad roadsT Wide
tires, although useful, are not practi-
cable ON bad roads. especially in mud
