complaining much save to make tedious
grabbing possible. Applied in hole
bored in the stump the explosive tears
away the top, but does little injury to
the network of roots below. Every 9th
or variety Of stump can be eradicated at
a reasonable cost, or by waiting for nat
ural causes half u dozen years. An Ohio
correspondent Of Rural New Yorker,
whose farm is a chestnut ridge, has
found one best way to deal with these
gtumps This is illustrated in the first
cut, and his description is as follows:
take one Of the narrow bladed, quick
QUITTING, crosscut saws and saw of the
stump just above ground. In clearing I
saw the trees low down and make no
ptnmps, but / have 30 or 40 cut from
Ave to ten years ago, which / am treat
ing to decapitation as fast as I bring
the land under cultivation. They are
cut low, none being more than 20 inch
es high, so we cut off a length of stove
wood II inches long. In many cases
this leaves no stump Of any account, and
in the tallest the stumps are only eight
or nine inches high, and reaper or
mower could be worked over them if I
were growing grain. AS it is l can
plant raspberries or blackberries or trees
without reference to the stumps, as a
horse pays no more attention to them
than to q stone, and the cultivator ID
easily swung over them.
The advantage in blowing is plainly
seen and in using the disk harrow cut
away and roller all stumps sawed
within five inches Of the ground offer

no serious obstruction. My man runs
over those that are eight with the disk.
] believe that it takes less time to saw
OF stump than is lost in hindrance
in blowing, fitting and cultivating
around it In one season in growing q
berry plantation. Then / get the wood
and three 30 inch stumps, which may
be sawed of by two men in an hour,
will split up into about a cord, stove
length.
In the case of q pear orchard in which
many large stumps of bur oak were
left the writer's plan was to SOW close to
the ground and let the stumps slowly
rot away. In blowing next to stumps
sawed close to the ground it is possible
after the ground has been plowed Cou-
pie Of times to pillow right up to the
stump and set in directly beyond, and
three or four minutes work with the
mattock will dig up all that remains,
and all the rich soil around the stump
may be utilized for crops instead Of

PUMP FOR HOSTING WATER.

ders through stufdng boxes and are pro-
vided there with valves. These pipes are
bent over at the upper extremities SO as
to form spouts, and they are hung, near
the top, ON the ends of sort of teeter.
When the operator lifts a lever, one Of
the pipes comes up several inches and
the other one goes down When the lev
er is depressed, the pipes move in the
reverse directions. After a few strokes
both pipes are filed, and then the
weight Of the one column Of water nearly
balances the other, the two being sup
ported by the pivot on which the teeter
bar is hung. The pipe which is for an
instant higher than its mate holds more
water and is heavier, and hence little
extra power is consumed in lifting it.
But the inventor claims that it is only
necessary to overcome the friction of the
water to keep the thing a-going. He says
that where the lift is not over or 10
feet 8 inch pipe may be used, dis
charging three or four gallons Of water
for each double stroke. This system may
also prove to be suited to pumping ont
mines. A patent has been applied for.
Another scheme, which has not been
so fully worked out as the foregoing one,
but which is intended to be entirely
automatic, is also described. This latter
is the work Of an inventor in Greeley,
Colo 1t uses the current of stream,
impinging ON a wheel, as the source Of
power, and the wheel is provided with
buckets around its periphery. These

Cottonsoed Feed.

Last year strong effort was made to
introduce a new cattle food, called "cot-
tonseed feed" to northern dairymen.
This feed is q mixture of one part cotton
seed meal to FIVE parts Of cotton hulls.
1t was extensively advertised, and, as
we understand, quite little Of it was
sold in small lots for experimenting.
We advised our readers not to pay $15
per ton for it in spite of the fact that
analysis seemed to give it quite high
feeding value. Cottonseed meal used in
moderate quantities and in proper COM
bination is a valuable stock food.
Southern farmers often use the dry hulls
TO good advantage also, hui we do not
believe it will ever pay northern farmers
to pay freight and profit on them.
Ground hay and grain is cheaper and
safer food. Rural New Yorker.

WATER FOR IRRIGATION.
Novel Pump and Current wheel Recently
Invented For Hosting Water

There is some difficulty in selecting
the best apparatus for hosting water for
the purpose Of irrigation, owing to the
number Of devices already in the market
and Of the new ones being invented.
OF course it is essential to have stream
or a well in order to obtain a supply,
and the farmer must be favored to some
extent by the distance above the level Of
that supply, to which he must lift the
water before it will run into his bitches.
A very simple new pump, which may
be operated by windmill, horsepower or
even by hand, has been invented by a
genius Of Wichita, Kan. AS described
in the New York Tribune, it consists of
two fixed upright cylinders, submerged
in a shallow well, and two vertical
pipes whose lower ends enter the Cylin.

would result if they were obliged to
carry their load higher The lift can be
made Of any desired height by increas
ing the diameter Of the wheel Besides
adjusting the size of this motor to the
level Of the reservoir, it is also neces-
sary to adjust the weight Of the water
litter to the area Of the paddles, in order
to avoid imposing more work on the
wheel than the current will perform.
Moreover, as every stream is higher at
one time than another, some provision
must be made for raising and lowering
the bearings.

all over the Populist party. Hence the
Populists will not listen to Magic. Nagle
will not be allodwed in the secret or
conference at Ell Reno nor will he be al
lowed to see the contract of be told
| what transpires. This precaution IS
taken because Nagle's deputies will all
be in the convention and they might
prevent the Endorsement Of Callahan.

viii not surrender his convictions when
ne faces even the Oklahoma Democrats.
MANY ARE DISGUSTED.
The contest viii be an interesting one.
The feeling is that if fusion is made it
will be made at a sacrifice of the self
respect of every Democratic delegate in
the convention. The Democrats do not
know Callahan or his character. When
they have tried to get any more out of
MIN than the quota of offices above
enumerated they will discover Just
how strong a man he is. Back of him
will be Vincent and back of him every
Popuiist in the territory, including ex-
Speaker Daniels of the Oklahoma legis-
lature and Sly Oberlander and all the
rest.
There is a strong element of Demo-
Gratis in Oklahoma who are standing
aloof in disgust. They cannot stoop to
endorse a Populism they have been
fighting for years and they do not hest
tate TO say so. 1t may be that they will
organize and overthrow the crowd that
is in the saddle just at this moment.
Here today it was learned that Leslie
Niblack of the Guthrie Leader, one of
the brightest young men in the terri
tory if not in the entire west, had come
out for fusion in his paper.
This is looked upon here as a dealy
poison to his future politics as associa-
ton with the Populists of Oklahoma
can only be accomplished by his sur
rendering everything and his abject al
legiance to Vincent, who in case of
Bryan's election will be governor.
So far as known here 10. Wisby has
not spoken, but it is thought that he
will. Some Of the Oklahoma judges are
being fooled into the belief that they
are to be in the swim in case of fusion
just as Pat Nagle is being deceived
The feeling here is that fusion will be
accomplished at Ell Reno but if it is it
will be at the sacrifice of the Demo-
cratic party and it's principles in Okla
homa territory.
