The Pitting Method.

In a late issue we told of the sue
cess Of getting rid of stumps by the
"pitting" method, bnt failed to give
the details of the plan. Here they ar :
The process, which is of amazing
simplicity consists merely in selecting
a quantity of wood of stove-wood size
and piling it at the base of the stump
so as to form continuous kindlinP
around the base. The wood is then
covered with sod after the fashion of
a charcoal pit, place to the wind
ward side being left open for firing.
After the fire is started the process
involves only occasional visits to the
stump to see that the fire is not burn
ing too vigorously, in which case a
little more dirt is thrown on. 1t is
said by successful experimenters that
in ten days or two weeks the fire will
burn out the largest stumps, scar ching
it's way ten to fifteen feet into the
ground and completely charring the
roots. Ii the charcoal is not desired
1T is gotten rid of by giving air to the
flame IN which case it will be con-
sumed.
