TO REMOVE STUMPS EASILY
Where Time Is No Object Hole May
Be Bored Through Center and
Fire Built to Burn 1t.

An easy way to remove stumps,
where time is not an object, is to dig
a trench beside the stump and then
to bore diagonal hole through the
stump SO that the lower end of the
hole will be near the top of the trench
and the upper end some distance
above the ground. Build fire in the
trench and partially cover it SO that
the flame will draw through the auger
hole like it would through flue. AS
soon as the fire is started a draft is
created through the auger hole and
this helps to fire the stump much
more rapidly. This method requires
no great equipment and will be found
effective though it takes time. If one
is SO situated that he desires to clear
considerable area of stumps the use
of the stump puller would be the more
economical method although it may

tomato or peach cans (3-pound cans
are best) then invert can over each
leg and nail cross-pieces on top to
brace the legs with, and for the hive
to rest on; but be very careful not to
allow any holes in the sides Of the
cans that the ants can crawl through.
This works on the same principle as
the tin pans used on posts under corn
cribs to keep out mice-no patent on
it either.
Putting the legs Of the stand in bas-
ms of water or oil will drown the bees
when the wind blows, and they miss
the alighting board and fall down at
the corners. At one time I had fifty
hives on stands with the stand-legs in
water. l also tried oil.

KEEPING ANTS OUT OF HIVES
With Empty Inverted Tomato
Cans Will Do the Wor k.

To the numerous inquiries as to
how to keep ants out of hives, why
not take Josh Billings advice as to
bedbugs-"just kill 'em alr'? The
best way to kill ants is with the oft
repeated remedy, i. e., bisulphide Of
carbon However, there are places
which, for one reason or another, it
is almost impracticable to kill off the
ants; and then the apiarist needs a
Newsstand that will exclude them.
The illustration shows one of my
hive-stands complete and ready to have
the hive placed upon it, writes ]. M.
Caldwell in the Gleanings in Bee Gull
ture. 1t is nothing but table turned
upside down, and an empty tomato
can, with the top melted off, inverted
over each table-leg. The ants can
crawl up the table-leg and all around
Oh the inside of the can, but they can
not make the turn around the lower
edge of the cans, and come up on the
outside of cans and thus reach the
hive.
The space between the table-leg
and inside Of cans must be at least
half an inch; but the cans rest on the
ends of the legs.
Just take an old super or box. Cut
four pieces 2x2x12, and nail one in
each corner. Round off the projecting
edges, then melt the tops off from four

How Seed Potatoes Are Cut.

near the stem end with a knife; in
cases of bad infection, the black spots
may run half way through the tubers.
Where the infection, is slight, it may
occur only near the stem end. OF
course, some Of the tuberS may be
free from spots, and these are safe for
planting on new land, but the disease
lives over in the soil as we'll as in
the tubers.
Where the disease has not pene~
trated more than one-third the length
of the potato, the half Of the potato
toward the bud end may be used for
seed with better promise. In such
cases, the knife used for cutting
should be dipped in a solution of cor
rosive sublimate, formaldehyde or car.
bolic acid after cutting diseased tu.
bers, and before cutting others.
The usual seed treatment for scab,
etc, will be very useful to kill dry-rot
spores which may adhere to tubera
and may be applied to the healthy
portions after separation from the dis
eased parts of potatoes.
The means by which late blight is
carried from place to place is the
chief question which interests the ship
pers and planters of seed potatoes.
This is restricted to tubers which
show the dry rot. These carry the
fungus in a semi-dormant state, which
develops after the tuber is planted.

matter entirely in his own hands. II
he insists on all sound tubers and
plants, only such there will be no dan.
ger of introducing late blight with
them.
Blight is probably never carried on
the surface of the tubers.

When the science and art OF dent
istry was in its infancy some 60 years
ago. the filing in general use was gold.
and at that time there were very few
dentists capable OF doing good work.
In those days the dentist had very
few instruments 10 work with, and
most of those were fashioned by his
own hand The majority Of the opera
lions on the teeth were by men who
were selftaught, or who had gained
their knowledge in the office OF man
who was seif-taught. Yet even in that
day there were some who. through ne
cessity, became expert with the crude
instruments.
One day there appeared in the city
OF New York some dentists lately ar
rived from Paris who were intro

favor upon the new material. and re-

We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the
safest and most dependable remedy
which we know, for constipation and
associate bowel disorders. We have
such absolute faith in the virtues
of this remedy that we sell it on our
guarantee of money back in every
instance where it fails to give en-
tire satisfaction and we urge all in
need of such medicine to try it at
our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just
like candy, are particularly prompt
and agreeable in action, may be
taken at any time, day or night: do
not cause diarrhOea, nausea, grip
ing, excessive looSeness or other I'M
desirable effects. They have very
mild but positive action upon the or
gans with which they come in con-.
tact, apparently acting as a regulat-
i've tonic upon the relaxed muscular
coat of the bowel, thus overcoming
weakness and aiding to restore the
bowels to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly COM

of course when of a surgical char

the necessity of constantly taking
