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. —W. F Covington, in Progressive Farmer. Our (ireatest Net-d. 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.
