-American gives the following recipe for
getting rid OF stun9s: "In the
autumn or early winter bore a hole ol e
or two inches in diameter, according
to the girth Uf the stump, and about
eighteen inches deep. Pat into it one
or two ounces OF saltpetre, fill the hole
with water, and plug it close. In the

ignite it. The stump will mou!der

extremity Of the roots, leaving moth
