Stump Polling Device.
Here Is a sketch of a device which
will do good work In the way .of re
moving stumps. It can be operated
by a rann and a boy If stumps do not
exceed fix or eight Inches In diameter.
For lorger stumps two men and a boy
may be employed. The boy can change
the hook at each swing of the pole. In
the Illustration two short chains (No.
1 and 2) ore shown attached to the
pole. These are each four feet long
with a common grab hook on one end
and a round hook or ring at the other
end. The longer chains are fixed to
the stumps, one of them reaching to
the pole, the other to the grab hooks.
The pole requires to be 15 or 16 feet
long and 5 or 6 Inches In diameter at
the butt To operate, put chain No. 4
on the biggest stump and have the
other end fixed to the poleBbout 18 or
20 Inches from the end. Take chain
No. 1 and place it 0 Inches nearer the
end and chain No. 2 six Inches on the
other side. Now place chain No. 3 on
the stump that Is to be pulled and
swing the pole as far as possible; at
tach the grab hook from No. 1 tcj No. 3
chain: swing the lever (pole) until
No. 2 chain can be attached to No. 3.
Keep swinging back and forth, chang
ing hoops at every swing until stump
Is up. For heavier stumping a horse
rig on a similar principle may be used.
only the chain requires to be heavier
and stronger. Make the hooks on No.
1 and 2 with Just turn enough to hold
on the link of No. 3.
Protecting FowU on Rooata,
Naturally the fowls catch cold more
readily at night when on the roost
tliun during the day, when they are
moving around freely so that protec
tion should always be given them If
there Is danger In this respect or If the
nights are very cold and It Is desired
to keep ail the heat possible among the
birds. Tlace the roosts so that the
backs will rest against the wall of the
poultry house, then, on the roof of the

wall than the lower roost,' erect a

frame to which a curtain can be at

unbleached muslin, burlap and old
carpet being good materials, go that
when It Is let down It will fall to the
ground directly In front of the lower
roost. By the use of a strap and a
hook at either end a simple plan Is had
of fastening the curtain In place when
it Is not in use. The dotted line In
the Illustration shows where the cur
tain will fall when dropped and the
entire plan Is easily seen from the cut
and can be readily worked out at small
cost.
Improving Corn.
Realizing that the Improvement of
corn is ar matter of concern to every
agricultural practloner, because of the
wide adaptability and general cultiva
tion of the cereal, the Virginia-Agricultural
Experiment Station has publish
ed in a bulletin of nearly 100 pages
the results of experiments In that field.
In a general Introduction the bulletin

"Investigations show very clearly
that the corn plant is quickly affected
by the environment In which It Is
placed and yields readily to selection,
so that the way for Improvement Is
open to all who will make a systematic
study of this Important crop. The fact
that corn crosses so easily has resulted
in the development of numberless so
called varieties or strains, and It is

manlfcstely Impossible to effect perma

peculiarities and the good and bad
points possessed by each.
."Observation leans to the belief that
the Indiscriminate crossing of plants
without first studying them carefully
and eliminating the hundreds of unde
sirable varieties and the thousands of
useless Individuals is a waste of time,
and that more permanent good can be
effected by making a basic study of va
rieties, rejecting all those that do not
reach a definite stundard, and then pro
ceeding to systematically Improve
those that seem worthy of extended
consideration."
The Red Spider.
In dealing with that troublesome lit
tle pest, the red spider, a really suc
cessful remedy Is found In some of the
liquid tobacco or nicotine extracts,
now fairly numerous on the market
They may be used either by vaporiza
tion overheat directly with steam
pressure,- or by spraying cold dilutions
In water. They are rather costly and
must be handled with care, as they
are particularly deadly Internal poison;
to humans as well as animals, but are '
effective when used according to direc
tions and little harmful to even the
most delicate plants, states Rural New
Yorker. This remedy Is of course ef
fective on less resistant insects, such
as apblds, thrlps and scales. It does
not promise much as regards white fly
or outdoor scales, but we have good
remedies for these pests In hydrocyanic
gas and soluble oils.
Hawlte and Poultry.
A writer in the Scientific American
declares that be effectually put an end
to the depredation of hawks In his
poultry yard by fastening an old scythe,
ground to a razor edge, with the sharp
end down, on a high pole set In the
edge of a field near his yards. The
hawks, as is their habit, lit on the
scythe, grasping It with their claws,
with the result that their feet were
badly cut This angered them and they
attacked the scythe, literally tooth and
toenail, and of course got the worst of
It Every hawk that came along met
with a like reception, and within a
short time they were either killed or
driven away.
Plowing; Manure Under. N
When coarse stable manure Is plow
ed under and there is moisture enough
In the soil and manure to cause its
fermentation, it immediately begins to
furnish food for crops. It does this
all the better in early spring, as the
manure under the furrow holds' It up
and admits warm air from above,
which is just what is required to cause
active fermentation.' The release of
ammonia as the manure ferments en
riches all the soil above it, as the con
stant tendency to warm air is to rise.
Hence there is good reason for apply
ing manure as top dressing during tht
winter on land that Is to be plowed or
hoed for crops In the spring.
Molaaaea Cake (or Cattle,
The molasses cake used In France as
food for cattle consists in the boiling
of molasses and working It briskly with
mixture of corn flour and bran, when it
is pressed into the ordinary form of a
cake and packed in bags for sale. The
proportions used are one-third molasses,
one-third flour, one-third bran. The
suburban dairymen claimed that in the
UBe of this molasses cake there are ex

quantity in feeding should be 6 to 10

a basis of food, but as a condiment,
and to assist digestion.
Amount of Seed Required Per Acre.
The amount of seeds required to an
acre is estimated as follows: Oats,
3 bushels ; barley, 2 bushels ; timothy, 6
quarts; tobacco, 2 ounces; bluegrass, 2
bushels ; red clover, 8 quarts ; redtop, 1
to 2 pecks; millet, one-quarter bushel;
orchard grass, 2 quarts ; white clover, 4
quarts; buckwheat, one-half busliel;
corn, broadcast, 4 bushels ; potatoes, 10
to 15 bushels; ruta-bagas, three-fourths
pound; mixed lawn grass, one-half
bushel; corn, in hills, 4 to 8 quarts;
corn, In drills, 2 to 3 bushels; rye,
1 to 2 bushels; wheat, 1 to 3
bushels.
SttlW (or Denatured Alcohol.

distilling outfits cost only $20 ; some are

These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood in various ways.
Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of the
