　　When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cowscow manure (粪肥), to be specific.

　　Cows produce a lot of wastes. One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day. Now imagine t he output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. Thats really a big amount.

　　When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(肥料). But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes. They use them to produce electricity.

　　Heres how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. The cows arent bothered, says Marie Audet. They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by.
