a Stump Remover.

An easy way to remove stumps'
where time is not an object, is TO dig
n ,ranch beside the stump and then
70 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 dis
lance above the ground Build fire
in the trench and partially cover II
co that the flame will draw through
the augur hole like 1t would through
a f,ue. AS soon as the fire is started
a draft Is created through the augur
hole and this helps to fire the stump
much more rapidly. This method re-
ouires no great equipment and will be

GROUND FEED IS GREAT AID
Part Of Work Of Digestion Has Been
Accomplished by Artificial Grind
Ing and Energy Saved.

IVY y. u
Many poultrymen now grind part OF
their chicken feed into a meal so that
II can be fed either wet or dry in the
form OF mush II has been found that
in forcing chickens for quick growth
or egg producing. feeding a portion OF
ground feed is a great help.
Part OF the work Of digestion has
been accomplished by the artificial
grinding and the hen so fed can use
the energy thus saved for something
else. That is the real advantage OF
feeding ground grain.
The general concensus OF opinion
at the present time. is that the dry
mash is more desirable than wet.
Many practical poultrymen, however.
still prefer the wet mash. Labor Is
one Of the greatest problems that the
poultryman has to consider. conse-
auently If he can find method which
will be labor-saving and yet give re-
suits. II is worth consideration.
Dry mash fed in hoppers is easier to
handle than any kind of wet mash.
Hoppers are now made which are
rat proof. sanitary and convenient
These can be filled once n week and
are found TO be satisfactory
Experiments have proved that eggs
produced by hens fed a dry mash were
more fertile than those laid by hens
fed a wet mash. Wet mash is slightly
more forcing. is inconvenient to ieeo
and requires care in keeping the feed
ing vessel clean.

of the trees surrounding his benefac-
