The Florida agriculturist., 1909-12-01

@u0 clearing OF new lanQ is an
Important factor in the agricultural
economics of many farms, yet prob
ably no feature of farm life is so
little understood and so blindly pur-
sued. This unfortunate condition is
largely due to lack Of information
upon the subject. Almost every 9TH
er field of farm operations has been
more or less thoroughly covered by
agricultural publications of one kind
or another; but the writer has long
looked in vain for any definite and
authentic information upon the sub
ject of clearing land.
There is a notion which obtains
among many persons that the own
ership Of land imparts respectability.
The correctness of this idea is con-
ditional. The possession of broad
and productive acres, it is true, gives
prestige as well as profit, but the
ownership Of nonproductive bushy
land is discreditable. The character
and thrift of the farmer may be
Justly estimated by the appearance
of his land.
A good plan for the owner of un-
improved land is to sell the surplus.
Such course will not only promote
the owners interest, but the COM
mon wealth of the community.
T'Loafer" land not only represents
idle and taxable capital for the land
lord. but the withholding of possible
support from others.
If he is a benefactor of mankind
who succeeds in making two blades
of grass grow where only one grew
before, how much more benefcent
is the mission of making grass grow
where only bushes were wont to
thrive.
Cost of Clearing.
In many sections farm improve
ments can be bought for less than
cost. Certainly in such cases it is
cheaper to purchase improved land
than to buy impoverished or wooded
tracts with view to their improve
ment by clearing. If a living has to
be earned upon it, poor or foul land
is dear as a gift. Generally the ex-
pense Of clearing will exceed the
original cost Of the land. The cost
per acre will vary from $5 or $40,
to $50 or $40, conditional upon kind,
density and size Of wooded covering.
In many localities there is fair de-
mand for wood, the proceeds Of
which will help to defray the cost of
clearing. In fact it might be profit
able in some instances to dispose Of
the wood to the best advantage and
then to give away, if it can not be
sold, the land with all it's stumps and
roots and purchase improved land.
However, in clearing most pine
land the cutting method is the most
expedient. The pine genus, except
ing two or three species, is happily
peculiar. Contrary to the rule in
forestry, when the pine is cut off
just above the ground it does not
throw up shoots. Consequently it
soon dies, and if the stump be small
it rapidly decays.
Many nine lands throughout the

South may be cut off and safely left
idle for several years with assurance
that roots and sturnps will rot. Pine
sell is not so ifnpregnated with OBJ
jectiOnable growth in an embryo
state, waiting for an opportunity to
develop into bushes, as is hardwood
land.
This nonsprouting characteristic
together with the relative freedom
of pine soils from foul growth the
first years, renders Southern pine
land comparatively easy and mex
pensive to clear, especially if the
timber is not large. New pine land
is much more amenable to cultiva-
tion than lands from which other
kinds of timber has been removed by
cutting. This is owing to the semi
taproot system of the pine and the
brittle nature of it's roots.
Clearing With Dynamite.
In the removal of large stumps
dynamite is serviceable and economi-
cal. While it will seldom blow the
usually split it in several parts and
lay bare the roots, thus enabling the
grubber to take out the stump piece
by piece, which is less laborious
than removing the whole stump.
The cost Of this explosive will not
Justify it's use on stumps under 6
or inches in diameter. 1t is too
expensive for general use in clear
ing land. While it is undoubtedly
the cheapest method for removing
stumps of large size, it is a question
whether it is advisable for general
farming to clear land covered with
many such stumps.
The cost of dynamite will approx
mately vary from 10 to 20 cents per
stump. 1t is readily seen that if
there are some hundreds of these
per acre the cost will be too great to
Justify clearing by this method land
destined for general farming.
Experienced hands should be en-
plOyed when using dynamite, and
great caution must be observed, for
it is very dangerous if carelessly
handled. Also, if placed by inexpe-
rienced hands, much of it is likely
to be misapplied. Hence, If contem
plating it's use, it will be safer and
cheaper to employ experienced help.
Dynamite comes in cylindrical
sticks of different sizes and lengths.
The quantity to use in blowing out
stump depends necessarily upon the
size Of the stump. The charge. with
cap and fuse attached, should be
placed in a hole bored for the pur-
pose as nearly as possible under the
stump. The hole should then be fill
ed with earth and gently tamped.
Then the fuse may be lighted and
he operator retreat beyond the
range Of flying fragments.
It is generally conceded by those
familiar with dynamite that the mos1
affectual destruction of the stump is
achieved by boring into it as low
down as possible, thus adding con-
siderably to the force of the explo-

the time and labor and hence to the
cost per stump, while the more com.
mon method of digging down by the
side of the stump and following out
a place under it where the charge
is placed will generally split up the
stump sufficiently to make it's re-
mova1 an easy matter.
Clearing With Machinery.
There are many different makes Of
stump-pulling machinery upon the
market. The promoters of these va
rious grubbing devices claim great.
merit for their respective machines,
but catalogue claims should be ac-
cepted with great caution.
The difficulty with most stump
pulling machines is that If they are
strong enough for the work desired
of them they are too expensive, cum
bersome and unwieldy.
When these machines are once
properly adjusted, their work, pro-
vided nothing breaks, will be satis-
factory. But the labor of moving
and the care of adjusting, together
with the liability to breakage, more
than outweighs the virtues of any
stump-pulling machine known to the
writer.
However, it may be said of ma
chinery cleared land that the clear
ing is thorough. The machine re-
moves practically all the roots of
any size from the ground, leaving
the land in good tillable condition.
When it is the intention to use
a machine the timber should be cut
away and removed and the brush
burned. Such preparatory work will
greatly facilitate the moving and op-
Grafton of the machine. The stumps
should be left high enough to con-
veniently loop with chain, for it is
much easier to get secure hold
above than below ground.
The best time to operate ma
chine is Immediately after a heavy
rain. The stumps will draw much
easier when the ground is soft and
loose than when it is dry and hard.
Clearing with horses and chain
consists in pulling the young trees
cut Of the ground. Where conditions
are favorable it is surprising how
rapidly this may be accomplished.
Best results can be obtained where
the growth consists Of saplings, say
2 to 4 inches in diameter, which
have lateral root system. The
ground should be soft and loose.
The plan is simple. 1t consists in
fastening one end of a long log chain
to the trunk of the sapling as high
above the ground as the fexibility
Of the tree will permit and hitching
steady horse, or, if necessary,
team Of horses to the other end of
the chain. While the horses are
pulling at the tree man should be
at it's base with an ak and assist
them by severing such roots as seem
loath to give away.
In this manner, when the saplings
are of the right size and kind, the
ground in proper condition, the
horses true and steady, the man with
the ak alert and discreet, wonderfully
good and fast work can be accom-
plished.
Stumps may also be pulled up

agreements.
At the Star mine and mill about

BULL MOVEMENT
is CLOSE AHEAD
MARKET HAS THAT LOOK -
LEADERS TAKING ALL THE
GOOD STOCKS OFFERED AND
PUTTING THEM AWAY-ELY
LIST HAS STRONG LOOK.

The market continued the quiet
yesterday that has prevailed for sew
eral days. It is beginning to appear,
however, that this quiet is very much
a surface proposition and that un-
der the top of the pot there is plenty
of boiling. The big ones have abated
their confidence not n bit in the
big bull times close ahead and they
are gathering in quietly all Offer
ings that are made of the strong is
sues. The stocks thus secured are
going quietly into the strong boxes
as a while back and are going to stay
there until the boom is fully matured,
he passing of Il. H. Hartman has
had no effect other than to strengthen
the hands of the insiders of the bull
movement. Mr.. Harriman's market
position has been we'll filed, unless
all indications 30 wrong.
The Ely list is holding in splendid
shape, firm and strong. 1t is in fine
form for the advance and it is ex-
pected that some of the issues will.be
leading off very soon. Nevada Con-,

they have been selling when their

ABBOT & MOORE, CLOSE
e. w. HULsE & co. LETTER.

The market was weak and dull in
today's trading, owing to the ex-
tremely low prices on metals. The
mining share market was inclined to
sag down to lower levels. The in
dustrials and railroads were also
very weak; in fact there was not
a market that was not feeling the
affects of the recent reaction. There
very little interest being taken by
the public in the stocks at the pres
emit time. The market seems to be
without a leader for the moment and
until n comes forward a big up
ward movement cannot be expected,
Although there is a gradual improve
ment in all lines of trades, the money
for the stock market does not seem
forthcoming. The local coppers held
fairly firm and very slight changes
were made over yesterdays quota
tions. They are all extremely cheap
at prevailing prices and if the old
saying proves true, the successful
trader is the who buys EN- cheap
and sells them dear" and they are
all certainly cheap at present prices.

MARKETS, MINING AND METALS
TO GET Low
RAIL RATE TO THE
MINING CONGRESS

In an interview last evening, Gen
eral Manager Cannon of the Nevada
Northern, informed a News represen-
tative that if 20 tickets to the meet
ing of the Mining Congress at Gold
field be purchased at n time, SO
as to assure the company at least 20
persons will purchase transportation,
the round trip will be made the
same as fare one way.
In order to secure this rate 1t will
be necessary for those wishing to take
advantage of the rate to make imme-
date arrangements with the company
SO that it will be able to publish the
rate. After the first 20 tickets have
been sold, all persons in the district
wishing to attend the congress will
be able to purchase transportation at
the reduced rate.
Get together today and form a
representative big crowd to repre-
sent Ely at the great gathering of
mining men and mining investors
next week.

DEAL MADE
AT HAMILTON
GRANDMOTHER ESTATE MINES
NORTHUMBERLAND 600 TO
BE SPENT IN DEVELOPMENT
WORK AT THIS PROPERTY IN
SILVER CAMP.

HAMILTON, Sept. 19.-(Special
Correspondence.) The heirs of the
Joseph Gradelmeyer estate, who own
one mill site, and one mill situated
in the town of Hamilton, and water
rights in the town have had meeting
in st. Paul, Mimi, at which steps
were taken to incorporate the estate
into a stock company with $4,000
shares, the major part of which will
be retained by the heirs while the
others will be taken up by st. Paul
capitalists.
All the papers have been signed
and the attorney for the new cor
poration, Harvey Hall of st. Paul, is
now on his way to Ely to make a
final settlement of the estate and will
then go. to Hamilton to map out the
plan of work for the mine. Mr..
Hall was in Hamilton a little
more than two years ago and knows
all the ground thoroughly.
Without doubt this move will mean
the awakening of old Hamilton and
it will soon experience an activity
which will remind us of the days OF
old.
The Grandmeyer mines are some
of the most valuable property in the
White Pine Mining district. Nearly
all of them have been so far de-
veloped that there is a large quality
of shipping ore in sight that only
needs the employment of labor to
take it out and ship it at a good
profit.

RHYOLITE, New, Sept. 21.-Ar-
rangements are being made to en-
large the capacity of the Harrisburg
mill. The little plant of three dimin-
utive stamps has been in operation
for about six months. 1t has proved
a success from the first and develop
merits in the mine have during the
same period moved along with such
assuring strides that the company is
in shape and feels justified in put
ting up a more pretentious treatment
plant.
Five more stamps are, promised in
80 days. The new stamps will be
of the 1000-pound, variety and will
probably mean an addition in effic-
iency of at. least three, times the pres
emit tonnage capacity. The three
, stamps have been crushing about six
tons per day. Future tonnage should
be around 20 tons per day
Water is the, serious question with
these people, as with all companies
operating in this section. Arrange
ments have been made with the Ski
{doo Mining company for the present
supply of the precious necessity. The
Skidoo has an abundance of water
and seems to be in a position to de-
velop strength to meet all reasonable
demands. - . - t.s:a
