Power of Healing.

| Editor Tho Washington Herald:
In your issue of Sunday. February 81
appeared an article entitled Power OF
suggestion in healing by Robert H.
Gault, who, after treating the subject
very ably, winds up by saying: ''As for
me, therefore. I shall continue to take
pills from reliable NJ. D.'s satchel
when he says need them" This being
such a straight and clear-cut statement,
from the materialist's point of view, il
| Is pleasure to be afforded the oppor-
tunity to answer it. It is the old, old
story Of Man VS.. Cod" OF the prince
OF the World VS.. the Prince of Peace"
1t was the story that started in the
Garden OF Eden, the same that caused
Abraham to bring up a holy nation. a
chosen people from his seed. It is the
same story that stirred to action such
men as Moses and the Prophets. II Is
the same question that Christ settled. and
settled right. for all those who will ac-
cept Him and will learn TO understand
His mission upon earth. But as His
mission is as little understood by the
present generation as 1t was by the He
brews in His days on earth, this lues-
ton viii afford material for discussion
until the millennium arrives.
The statement, Il will take pills from
an NJ. DIS satchel." places the human
body in the class of materials, such as
houses, harness, stoves. furniture. &c.
and If your house, your harness, your
stove. or your furniture needs mending
or repairing, you send for the man that
built the house or the men who made
the harness, the stove, and the furni-
ture 10 come and mend or repair them,
as they would know best what material
to use and how to use it.
The question, however, arises, Can we
class the human body as matter7 Can
man create. a living human BODY from
matter. and. If not, does not this fact
prove that the human body is not In

put our faith in the man who built the
house when it needs mending, but we
do equally well when we put our faith

1t was invented by ]. W. Day and is
thus described:
A two-inch ship auger is welded
onto one end Of three-quarter-inch
iron rod six feet long Four inches
from the other end of this rod a col
lar is welded and the end of the rod
passed through an iron box fastened
to a movable frame about 18 inches
square. A bevel gear is then fastened
to the extreme end of this rod either
by a key or set screw and works into
a second gear of the same kind
fastened on a horizontal shaft. This
horizontal crank shaft is made of one
inch iron rod bent at one end to form
handle, with a fly wheel fastened
on the opposite end. It works through
two boxes fastened to the movable
frame and slides down the main
frame as the auger bores into the
stump. The upper end of the machine
Is elevated about five feet, and stands
on two cart wheels, on which it is
easily rolled from stump to stump or
from field to field by a single indi-
vidual. This elevation of the frame
helps to brace 1t against the stump
in boring, raises the crank shaft to a
height at which it can be most easily

turned, causes a Snght pressure TO
be constantly exerted against the
auger. and makes It possible to bore
the hole diagonally into the stump.
At the extreme upper end Of the
frame is a small windlass with ropes
attached, which is used for pulling
the auger out of the stump.
This machine was used to aid in
clearing 2.3 acres of land which had
been cut over about seven years be-
fore. The sapwood had decayed, but
the balance Of the stump above ground
and all below was sound. On this
plat there were 1853 stumps that re-
quired boring. These averaged 1873
inches in diameter, and the length of
hole bored averaged 1877 inches, the
total cost being less than eight dol
lars an acre. figuring labor at $3.50
per day.

The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1910-04-07

The problem of clearing logged-off
land is an important one in various
parts of the country. and although
much of the farming ls done upon
land formerly occupied by forests, but
little information regarding methods
and costs of preparing this land for
the plow has been recorded.
Removing the stumps by hand has
proven a slow and costly method in
the long-leaf pine belt. while 1t is out
of the question for the large stumps
of fir and other trees up to five and
six feet in diameter predominating in
Washington and Oregon, and the
principal up-to-date methods are burn
ing, blasting and pulling, or some
combination of these.
Burning is considered the best way
to remove pine stumps, which have q
large amount Of turpentine, as this
greatly assists in the process, and the
one tap roots of these trees are q
great hindrance in pulling. In regard
to burning these stumps, Mr.. Ferris
Of the Mississippi station, says:
The common method is to

of red-hot Goals or piece of iron
heated to a white heat After the part
marked "a" is burned out, the fire is
maintained by filling the space with
bark and litter. While the method
first described generally results in
burning the stump low enough to al
low of cultivating over it, in the case
of pine stumps, the method used on
the western trees leaves the larger
stringers with their smaller roots to
be pulled out by team or puller
Other methods of burning are to
split the stump with a small charge
of powder and thsn kindle a fire in
the hole thus made, and charcOaling
or pitting. The latter, which consists
essentially of keeping a smoldertng
fire around the base of the stump, is
reported to be very economical for
large stumps. Mr.. Ferris says re
moving stumps by this method (bor-
ing and burning) has been decidedly
cheaper than by any other method
tried, and as it requires only a small
expenditure for machinery, practically
no repair bills, and can be operated
by single individual, it ought to ap-
peal strongly to the farmers of the
south"

OHIO STATE HAPPENINGS
EIGHT LAKE SHORE R. R. DEAL
Hooking Valley Stockholders Ask Den.
Man to Prevent Proposed Mer-
ger of Roads.

Columbus, O.-Demand was made
on Attorney General U. G. Den
man here to bring custer proceedings
against the Lake Shore and Hooking
Valley railroads. In a formal state
ment presented to the attorney gen.
eral by minority stockholders of the
Hooking Valley it is charged that the
recently announced deal for the dis
position Of the Hooking lines would
continue an illegal combination of
transportation lines.
The statement recites that Hooking
for several years has been controlled
by the Lake Shore, Erie, Pennsylva-
mia, B. & o. and c. & o. combined as
syndicate. Hooking in turn owns
the K. & NJ. and through another cor.
poration controls the Toledo G Ohio
Central, which owns the GAINESVILLE &
Western. 1t is said that the Lake
Shore owns a control of the Nickel
Plate, Big Four and Pittsburg & Lake
Erie. The two last are said to be
competitors of the Ohio Central,
which is to be acquired by the Lake
Shore.
