The latest applicant to such

poorly did she write that it was
too difficult to .decipher her

MILK COWS

Government Experiment Seems
to Prove New Food Is
Good Standard.
BY WILLIAM PICKETT HELM.

j
This fat and sassy COW has been
fed on sawdust for the last six
months. Three gallons day, along
with about the same quantity of
bran and other commonplace foods.
dear to the heart of cows the world
over, has been her regular allot-
ment.
She likes it, has. got fat on It.,
and is yielding more butter than
her sisters which have had barley
meal and no sawdust. She seems
to have proved that sawdust, prop
erly treated, will come to be a
standard food for cattle in time.
The test was made by the United
States Department of Agriculture
at Beltsville, Md. Somewhat sim
liar tests are being conducted by
the Government at Madison, Wis.
and Spokane, Wash. They are still
in progress and the experts are
withholding their verdict until the
experiments have been completed.
The sawdust fed was from pine
lumber. It was not fed, however,
in the form in which it came from
the saw. An acid treatment is ap-
piled which converts about 20 per
cent Of the wood into sugar of sew.
eral kinds. These sugars are ex-
tracted from the dust by treatment
with hot water and the acid is re-
moved by naturalization. The
sugars are then remixed with the
sawdust. The feed is darker than
the original sawdust and contains
a larger proportion of fine dust.
The sawdust was fed with alfalfa
hay, corn silage and wheat bran.
This mixture is more palatable than
most of the established dairy feeds
and the cows leave none in the
feedbox.
