since different conditions govern all
cases. Two stumps of the same size,
kind and age of cut, when one is grown
on well drained soil where the roots
must penetrate great depth for water
and the other is grown on soil where
there is always water near the surface,
will demand different treatment for
extraction. The Older stumps, especial

quire less powder. The exact amount
necessary for set conditions can, how
ever, be readily determined with lit

Few tools and supplies are required.
A one and one-half inch wood auger
with shank about four and half
feet long, a medium sized crowbar, a
round pointed shovel and a wooden
tamping stick, together with the pow
der, fuse and caps, will serve to fill
the bill.

risk, "for / should be unworthy of
the name of king did abandon those
whom have promised to stand by
and succor in every danger"
And we still thrill at the stories of
the gallantry Of Henry ", who at the
battle of Agincourt won his greatest
fame. Many times his life was in
danger. Once he was beset by three
knights together, and as his immedi-
ate bodyguard was so hard pressed
that they could give him no aid, the
king slew one knight with a straight
swordthrust, caught his second foe
with the back swing and threw him
to the ground, and as the third knight
endorsed him, plunged his sword in
his last enemy's horse and brought
the knight to earth. There they
fought It out on foot, with Henry V.
as final victor.
His deeds recall those of John of
France who fought the English un-
der the Black Prince at the battle Of
Poictiers, where, although he was
taken prisoner with Philip afterward
created Duke of Burgundy and known
as Philip the Bold, he fought in a
manner which won the admiration Of
his foes.
France had another valiant monarch
King Henry w., who as Henry of Ma.
varre learned war. According to his.
torians, this monarch came to his
first battle a coward. By sheer force
of will he remained on the field and
in after campaigns his sword was the
most feared by his enemies. He was
ever in the thickest of the fight; "his
plume" to quote the chronicler of the
past being the true standard of the
French army ."-Tit.Bits
