Blasting StunpS.

Ditae Farmer.
The new process of removing
stumps gives promise of more salts
faction than any of the stump pullers
that were so extensively advertised
some years ago. One advantage it
has to start with, is that a man may
invest only dollar or two by way of
experiment, and removing a dozen
stumps or more, whether he finds it
too expensive or concludes, for any
reason, to quit the business. he has no
costly and perhaps useless machine
on hand. This new process consists
in "blowing up" the stumps Tor trees)
with "ebna" powder or dynamite,
which is far more powerfully explo>
siye than ordinary gunpowder or blast
ing powder. This very peculiar com,
pound is also singular in the TACT that
it does not explode on the mere ap>
plicaton of fire OF heat as by an or
binary fuse, but requires TO be fired
with a percussion cap. II simply
