Railroads Furnish Stump Pullers

ANolA4OA hAAAA0h OINaAp NAAOAO
In order to increase the acreage
of agricultural land adjacent to
its tracks, the Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic Railway, which
operates through extensive areas
of land from which timber has
been removed, is loaning stump
puIlers to the farmers. The ma
chimes are loaned for the very
nominal rental of 81 per acre
cleared, on condition that the
farmers taking advantage of the
loan, work together turn about,
on each others land as rapidly
as possible. A penalty is impos-
ed for all days on which the
stump puIlers are idle for other
reasons than adverse weather.
A similar concession to farmers
of Villas county by the {. & n.
w. ard St. Paul roads would be
of value to this region.
