Save Your Sawdust

At a meeting of the Farmert Club of Little Falls, N. Y.( Mr. Lewis said he had twent y-fivc acres of meadcw that would yield annually sufficient hay íbr the winter keep of fifty head of eattlo. This extraordinary fertility of soil and growth of grags had heen effected by underdraining and top-dressing with sawdust, in whicn wan absorbed the liquid manure f rom his ptock. He regarded the liquid manure of more valuo than the selid exeremonts of the animale. The comlilsion had been nrrived at by experimenta and from ob■erration. Some few years mace he commenced UEÏng gawdust for tKe absorption of liquid manure, and spreading the compost on li is gras lande, the soil responded in a most remarkable marnier. Latterly he had been using the dust at the rate of 60 bushels per week. The manure is hauled pon tHe land and spread as evenly as poisible witK shovel and fork ; it is then brnshed and oompletely brokou up and distributed in fine particlee. This división or fincnoss of the manurcs is regarded as of peculiar advantage, since the plants are better able to appropriate their food and it reaches a greatcï number. The sawdust in this case was produced from basswood. Probably that obtained from oak and hemlock would nofc be as good, on account of the extra amount of I tanic aoid. f
