How To Burn Out Stumps.
Get a good axe, a post-hole dig- j
ger and a match and jou are ready
for business. Take bolt out of hole
digger and veil have two little'
spades with which to dig the holes
around the stump, Give one of
these to your partner, put him on
the opposite side of the stump,
from you. Begin the holes 10 or In
inches from tli3 stump; dig to
wards the center of the stump,
striking the tap root at least 18or
20 inches below the surface of the
ground; then curve the hole u
round the stump till you connect
witli similar one being dug bv j
your partner on the other side of ;
the stump. Make the bottom of |
the holes 10 or 15 inches in diam
eter and remove all the dirt well
from around the stump at the bot
tom of these holes, but being care
ful not to remove or let fall in anv i
of the surface dirt above the hole.
You want to form a little,
furnace around the tap-root of the j
stump, and if you let the arch a- ■
bove fall in, your tire-box is ruin- 1
for the best service. Now start the
lire in the bottom of the hole, and
after you get things hot down in
there you can step back, and with
much pleasure see the roaring j
flames taking the stump out for
you. The higher the wind, the j
faster the burning.
All partly decayed stumps will
burn in a short while and with
very little attention, after the
fire is started. The sounder and
firmer ones will call for attention
They must be kept hot and burn
ing all the time or your fire will
go out. A new piece of wood should
be put in the little furnace as of
ten as the fire shows signs of weak
ening. Don’t let them go out even
if some one has to stay up with
them all night. In fact, a stump
seems to burn much faster at
night than in the day. When one
stump burns off, split it up for
fuel to-finish the slower-burning
ones, and to start tire around new
ones.
All small stumps are dug around
and cut off with an axe. We never j
put fire to one less than 8 or 10 i
inches in diameter. As a rule, the j
larger the stump the better it will j
burn. Just a little practice and j
you will be surprised to see how
fast you can take them out Go
after them with thedetertui nation
to get them and they will come
for you, and lemember when you
do get one that is the last time
that stump will ever trouble vou.

It seems to the writer that what
the farmers of all America need
most to learn is a far greater re
gard, love and respect for the soil,
ihev should know that, at this
stage of our country’s develope
ment, nothing is of as much im
portance as soil improvement,
not alone the maintenance of soil
fertility, but actual soil improv-j
ement. the steady betterment of
soil conditions to meet the needs
of our increasing consuming pop
ulation, their increasing needs and
those of our producers as civila
tion progresses. As the world
grows older more wants will arise
that must be provided for. 'l’llis
will call for greater production
from the same labor expended and I
greater profit must come to the
producers’ us payment for the
greater amount of ability requir
ed of him for “the laborer is
worthy of his hire.”—Ex.
