Getting Rid OF Stumps.

Getting Kid OF Stumps.
Since the discovery of that region
constituting part of the present State
of Washington the fir stump has block
ed the progress of civilization west Of
the Cascades. from Oregon to British
Columbia. Science has found ways
to span the States rivers, tunnel its
mountains and irrigate its deserts, but
until recently 1t has been unable to
cope with the fir stump. Bulky, firm
rooted in the earth. and so saturated
with pitch that It will not decay, 1t
has defled everything but dynamite,
and that costs about SO a stump, with
an equal amount to cover the expenses
of the donkey engine necessary to re-
move the roots when the main body
of the stump has been shattered.
Clearly such a costly process can not
be used for agricultural purposes in a
heavily timbered country.
Such was the situation when, three
years ago, an enterprising farmer CON
ceived the idea Of burning out the
stumps by forced draft. After many
experiments he finally got 4 horse
power donkey engine. attached a G.
inch American blower, and over this
he fitted tin case with twelve tubes
leading from it. To these he attached
pieces OF garden hose and to the ends
iron pipe. Then he bored a hole in
the stump. and. dropping in a live
coal, inserted pipe and started the
engine. In a few moments the hole
was aflame, and soon a dozen stumps
were blazing, although it was the wet
season and the monsters were sodden
with water.-Technical World.

Rubber Covered RoHds.

Experiments with rubber asphalt
roadways covering a period OF six
years are reported to have shown very
satisfactory results. Rubber asphalt
is claimed to be more plastic and more
adhesive than pure asphalt and resists
higher temperatures. This product,
which is manufactured under a patent
ed process. permits cold applications of
the asphalt, which are said to possess
all the advantages of hot compressed
asphalt without its drawbacks.
