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.

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.
Always sell the inferior stock, but be­
fore so doing it will pay to put as much I
fat on the animals as possible, not only
to secure extra weight, but also be­
cause a fat animal will bring an extra
price in market.
The farm offers many opportunities
for enterprise. There Is plenty of room
for advancement, and every expert- I
ment made, no matter how small, en­
ables the farmer either to increase his
yields or avoid mistakes. It is in the
management of the details that the
savings occur, and the keeping of ac­
counts will enable the farmer to con­
duct his farm with a better knowledge
of his operations.
There are breeds of cattle which are
more suitable as oxen than others, the
principal of which may lie mentioned—
the Devons. They are fairly large, are
red in color, hardy and can thrive on
pastures that will not keep some
breeds. The cows do not rank high for j
dairy purposes compared with some ,
of the well-known breeds, but, as the
Devon cattle are active and quick, they
have held the first place as animals for '
the yoke.
The early crops are quickly destroy-1
ed If neglected. Onions require careful j
watching, as the early weeds may get
ahead of them In forty-eight hours
should the weather be warm for a few
days, which doubles the work of the j
farmer. The best time to destroy '
weeds is when they are germinating.
