MORE MILK GIVEN BY
SAWDUST DIET cows.

Chicago Sept. 18:-When the dairy
farmer of the future needs feed for
his cows he may get a fresh supply
by going out to his wood lot and re-
ducing few stumps to sawdust By
chemical treatment sawdust may be
converted into nourishing cattle
food
This fact was brought out at the
sectional meeting Of industrial and
engineering chemists, American Chem
ical society at the University of Chi
cago. The process of preparing such
animal food was described by E.. c..
Sherrard and G. w. Blanche.
White sawdust, finely ground. is
treated under steam pressure with dill
uted sulphuric acid in a large boiler
known as a digester This breaks up
the fiber and extracts the sugar. To
prevent injurious effects the acid is
neutralized by adding lime to produce
chemical reaction. The liquid thus
obtained, when boiled down is rich in
sugar, and when mixed with the fiber
produces a moist feed containing
about fifteen per cent of water, in
which form it is fed to dairy cows.
The result was so satisfactory that
the government has decided to take up
the matter on larger scale at the ex-
pertinent stations throughout the
country ,and furnish a detailed report
on the value Of bydrolyzed sawdust
as cattle food.

wondered.
And from that minute. the big idea

true. Bob thought. So the very next
morning he set 10 work.
He gathered lot OF old newspapers
and went out into the meadow. First
he went alone. but Jack followed and
