Saw dust and shavings are too finely divided to be of use in the man ufacture of paper or pulp pro duction. For those purposes the fiber has been made too short or has been too much lacerated in the process of reduction, so as to make its use impossible. "Another objection to hand ling for any of the present uses Is, that the wood waste comes in all forms from the mill, from small slabs to the finest saw dust.
