How to clear stumps from land by
the use of dynamite, is the subject of
Bulletin PIG, just issued by the Wis
consin Experiment Station of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Careful direc-
tions for the use of dynamite and vir-
lite are given. Illustrations are also
included to supplement the directions.
The cost of pulling stumps by This
method, the bulletin points out, is not
large. Where many stumps are to be
blasted the bulletin recommends the
use of an electric blasting machine, a
simple, homemade device which saves
much time and labor.

for admission after the beginning of
the term have had to be refused until
another beginning class is formed.

the university demonstration high
school is provided three hours week
and consists of wood turning, furniture
construction, machine design and me-
chanical drawing.
