To Get Kid of Stumps. Frederick O. Sibley describes in the New York Tribune a method of getting rid of stumps which, although not near ly so “fast” in its operation as dyna mite. giant powder and the like, is per fectly safe to handle, but little more costly and, when rightly controlled, much better than any explosive substance mentionable, for the rea son that it leaves, on the whole, no fragments to be gathered lip and dis posed of in the end, but reduces the en tire stump to ashes, which for encour aging growth, are not easily to be sur passed. The way to do it is to dig a hole be tween the roots, or at one side of the stump, and partly under it, large enough in which to start a fire. This much achieved and the fire once nicely got under way, slip over the stump the big cylinder shown in the accompany- illustratlon, adding to it the “smoke stack.” As to this cylinder, have It made of sheet-iron (any blacksmith or tinsmith ought to be able to do the work of riv eting it together), and be sure the drum proper is of ample diameter to go over any stump which you may wish to get rid of. As can be seen, the upper part should taper, like a cone, and terminate in what will readily accommodate or dinary six-inch stove-pipe, three or four lengths of which are sufficient to make the whole arrangement act simi lar to a stove and so “cremate’ ’success fully almost any kind of a stump. Of course, the more pipe there is add ed to the cylinder the fiercer the draught will be. It will not do to have it too strong, however; otherwise the drum part might collapse. Therefore, when the fire is first started and the “crematory” has been placed in posi tion, the operator should watch it close ly to see that it does not get too hot. Provided it should begin to turn red, earth ought to be applied around tlie bottom of the cylinder until only Just enough air can gain admittance to keep the fire going Inside as desired. In this way a field of stumps can be cleared out quite easily, and that to one's com plete satisfaction. A DESIRABLE TIGPEN. F rm Note». STAR OF DAWN. Manuring in the Hill. No coarse manure should ever be put in the hill in contact with or under the seed. It will dry out the soil and do more harm than good. All that is need ed in the hill is either some concen trated mineral fertilizer, or a very lit tle well-rotted stable manure, made as fine as possible and mixed well with the soil. It needs very little to give the plants a vigorous start, when if the land around the hill is made as rich as it should be, the roots will forage for themselves till the end of the season of growth. In all plants that branch much the rainfall after they have made the growth of a foot or more is away from the hill into the middle of the row, and where the most water goes in midsummer there most of the feed ing roots will be found also.

Failures on the farm are often due to the use of inferior seed or too much economy in that direction. A dollar saved in seed sometimes causes a loss of a hundred times the cost of the seed.

They are fairly large, are red in color, hardy and can thrive on pastures that will not keep some breeds.
