be possible, probably, to bring over from

EradicatinG StumpS.

One of the great labor questions
of the new settler is how to get rid
of the stumps, at present they are
dug out by manual labor at considera'
bic expense, as every root extractor
that we have seen tried on pine
stumps has proved a failure. Any
one who would make a business OF
performing this work might make a
rood thing of it. An exchange says
On this subject:
The cheapest and most effective
wav is to blast them out with car
trldges of giant powder. This eX-
plosive is "a preparation OF nitro.
alycerine. many times a. powerful as
common powder, and its great force,
being very sudden in its action, tears
the stumps to fragments so that but
little, if any, after cutting is required
to dispose ofthem. The giant pow
der is put up il cartridges about ten
inches long by one and a half inches
in diameter, and these, being of the
consistence of cheese, can be cut into
pieces, OF the size required, with a
knife. A piece two inches long is
sufficient TO throw out good-slzed
stump. a hole is punched under the
stump with a crowbar; the explosive
with the proper fuse and Illuminating
cap attached, is put in the hole,
water is poured in as tamping, and
the fuse is fired. The explosion
throws the stump out in several
pieces, leaving the hole to be filled
up afterwards. Experts have taken
out one hundred stumps in a day III
this manner.
