stump.
The preparation of the stump
and first firing is much the greater
part of the work. We can afford
to use some care in this first work.
We soon learn to judge the right
conditions by experience, a light
ccveriug being more favorable to
rapid burning but not so good a
protection against adverse condi­
tions, ?uch as rains and high winds.
We learn that blue smoke issuing
through some of the small holes in
the covering indicates the burning
of the carbon, and calls tor more
cover. A dense white smoke indi­
cates escaping gasses and steam,
aDd the right conditions.
Gradually the fire eats its way
iuto the stump, and after the first
day does not need attention oftener
than each morning and each even­
ing.
Morning and evening all
fire showing beyond or through the
covering should be covered over,
pushing the hot earth next to the
firej and over onto the fire, and re­
plenishing with fresh earth as often
as necessary to keeDcover of suffi­
cient thickness; but when the top
of the stump is burned off complete
the cover. This practically finishes
the work. If large the roots may
continue to burn for several weeks.
I^thare are any large roots near
the surface they should be covered
ahead of the fire.
This method
burns out tbe roots. All that we
know of who have given it a fair
trial agree that it is cleaner in its
work than any other method tried.
