REMOVING STTNpS.

1t is no easy matter to remove Green
stumps from Il newly cleared field, and to
do so ut once for any considerable mum.
Der will be found to cost more than the
use of the land they occupy will be
worth, until they have dccayrd so that
their removal by fire or otherwise will be
comparatively easy. Stumps that have
partly dcCayed roots can often be twisted
out out by placing the largest end of n
long and stout piece of timber against
the side of the stump and claiming it
fast, then with Il team at the other end of
the lever pulling in the direction of Il
circle around it. A method that has
been recommended is to bore Il hole rs
deep as you can down to The centre of the
stump in the fall, and put in two ounces
of saltpctrc and plug it up. In the
spring remove the plug and fill with kcro-
sene oil, and afterwnrd ignite it. This,
it is said, will cause the stump to smoul-
der away entirely. The experiment is
one that can be easily tried. There is no
doubt that saturating seasoned stump
with oil by boring into it or otherwise
will greatly facilitate its burning. As q
general thing it will hc found best tc
leave green stumps to season and then
destroy them as fast aS you can with fire.
Stumps are expcditiouSly blown out with
dynamite, but few farmers care TO handl,
Ahis explosive. When expense is no ob,
joct patent stump pullcrs may be rc$ortcd

ABOUT CUTTING ASPARAGUS.

A cultivator of this delicious vegetable
says that it is bad practice in cutting
asparagus to leave the small shoots that are
not large enough for use. The better way
is to cut all off clean, until the middle of
June. Then all cutting should cease,
and the plants be allowed to make their
summer growth. The old practice of
planting the roots deeply below the sur
face, and cutting the shoots as soon ms
they pushed through the ground, with
barely green tip, is exploded. Green
and not bleached is the asparagus for
flavor. All weeds should be kept down
and the soil stirred enough to be at all
times loose and friable on the surface.

STIFF NECK IN A COLT.

Any injury to the muscles of the neck
may cause stiffness; an injury to the
spinal cord, which passes through the
vertebre of the neck, will have the same
effect. BY throwing colt for an opera
tion by means of a rope around the neck
such injury as would produce this stiff
ness can scarcely be avoided. To throw
a colt safely proceed as follows: Put
strong straps or noosed ropes around the
pasterns, gradually draw these together,
and push the colt over on thick bed of
straw; then tie the feet fast and proceed
with the operation.-Ne,oY York Times.
