Stumps occupy valuable land; foster
the growth of weeds, since in order
to keep the land In their vicinity clean
much hard labor is necessary; mar the
appearance Of otherwise smooth fields,
and hence reduce the selling price of
a farm; furnish shelter for harmful
insects and animals; and prevent the
efficient use of modern machinery.
Stumps may be removed by burning,
by explosives, by mechanical means,
or by combination Of any or all these
three methods. There is no best
method" of Kidding land of stumps,
and the selection of a method for their
removal should be determined only af-
ter a consideration of factors In
Ivolved.
Hardwoods Easier to Remove.
Most hardwOods decay so that they
can easily be removed within ten years
from the time Of logging, provided the
stumps are kept from sprouting Most
pine and fir stumps, on the other
hand, are very resistant to decay.
Their main roots will remain sound
lifetime. The small roots of any
stump will decay in few years and
with them out of the way the cost of
stumping is reduced.
Often it is best to stump the field
partially rather than to attempt to get
all the stumps out at one time. For
instance, in field where there are a
few large stumps scattered about and
many smaller ones, 1t might be advis-
able at first to remove only the smaller
ones. Sometimes just by the removal
of few troublesome stumps that OBJ
struct the way one can do fair work
in cultivating stump field.
1t is usually considered more ex-
pensive to remove a stump that has
burned to the surface Of the ground
that similar sound stump. In order
to pull such burned stump 1t is neces-

tiles artificial incubation for cow
peas is unnecessary and in sections Of
the middle West bacteria which thrive
on the roots of clover and alfalfa are
already present.
Artificial incubation can be accom-
plished by spreading soil from we'll
established field, where the particular
legume which is to be grown has been
successful, upon the new land to be
planted with that legume, and also by
the use of pure cultures Of the prop
er bacteria. The United States de-
partment of agriculture Is prepared to
supply enough of the pure culture to
inoculate one bushel of seed, and this
culture can be obtained in bottles
which contain complete directions for
use. Application blanks for these cul-
lures may be obtained from the depart
ment at Washington. ID. c. Pure cul-
ture can also be obtained, either free
or at small cost, from the various ex-
pertinent stations.
Too much attention cannot be given
to the preparation of the field for legu-
minOus crops. In well-prepared seed
bed the young plants get the best start
and the necessary bacteria will thrive.
Sour soils hinder and often entirely
prevent the development Of the bene-
fetal soil organisms. To remedy this
condition an application Of lime Is nee
essary. Any kind of lime may be used
to advantage, but usually finely ground
limestone is applied.
When a field is known to contain the
bacteria suitable for certain legume
crop-for example, alfalfa--shown by
the presence Of numerous nodules upon
the roots Of alfalfa plants growing
there, the soil Is desirable for the in
oculation of other fields upon which
alfalfa is to be sown for the first time.
Such soil, well sifted, can readily he
applied to the new field through the
fertilizer attachment on a drill. Two
hundred pounds or more Of sifted field
Soil will be sufficient for an acre and
Is best applied through the hoes.
Broadcasting the soil by hand will re-
qIire a larger quantity and is best
done in the early morning, late eve
ming, or on cloudy days, as the suns
rays are injurious to the bacteria in
the thin layer Of inoculated soil thus
exposed to II. The field should be
narrowed after broadcast
Ing the soil. Transferring field soil
from any considerable distance is ex-
pensive and subject to the danger Of
troublesome weeds, insects
and plant diseases.

WOMEN WORKING
AS cow TESTERS
Twenty-Seven Now Performing
Work Reported by Special
ISIS as Above Average.
IMPORTANT TASK or DAIRY
Associations Would Increase II More
Testers Were AvalIable--Some
Training That Is Easily Ac-
quired Is Needed.

The twenty-seven women now EN-
ployed as COW testers by some of the
1853 cOw-testing associations in this
country not only have done satisfac-
tory work, but have achieved results
above the average, according to dairy
specialists of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
The main reason why women have
begun TO do this work is the scarcity
of COW testers. Most of the testers at
work when the war began were young
men and many of them are now in
military service. Because of the short
age of workers the past year has seen
the number of contrasting associations
organizations of farmers wh@ want
to keep records Of their herss-de-
creased from 472 to 1853, although there
has been an increased demand for such
associations, and 1t Is believed the num-
her could easily be doubled if enough
testers were available. The work does
not require great physical strength. 1t
does demand some training, but this is
easily acquired by women.
The first woman COW tester in the
United States, Miss Bessie Lipsitz, be-
gan work less than three years Rgo
with cOw-testing association In Grant
county, Wisconsin. Wisconsin now has

three other states have one each
Demonstrates at Dairy Show
At the national dairy show in Co
iumbng, o., Miss Ruby Hawn, one of
the women COW testers of Wisconsin,
gave daily demonstrations of the test
er's work that attracted considerable
attention and brought much favorable
comment. She explained the details Of
the work and demonstrated all parts
of it by going through each operation
precisely as she had done hundreds Of
times before while at work in her asso-
citation In, northern Wisconsin. She al
ways had attentive audiences and
proved that a woman can do the work
Just as well as a man. When asked IL
women can handle the feeding prob
lens as we as men, she replied:
sThey can learn"
Women to Stay In Work.
Considering that the testers get free
board and lodging. the pay is thought
to be satisfactory. The women COW
testers are paid the same IN the men
and receive from $50 to $40 a month
besides board and lodging. Convey
ance to the next farm is furnished In
some associations. while In others the
tester provides her own conveyance
and the farmers furnish free stable
room and feed for her horse.
The employment of women as COW
testers came as a war measure. To
keep the work on a satisfactory basis,
women must continue to receive the
same pay as the men for the same
work.
How to obtain more testers Is a-se-
rious problem. Partially disabled sol

to take the necessary training and en-
list for the work. The most radical
step, however, and the one that prom
ises the most far.reachIng and imme-
diate results is the employment OF
women as COW testers.

1t also requires less power to pull

than a similar portion without such

II is as hard to remove as one burned

Tap-rooted stumps that cannot be
burned in the ground may be pulled
entire or shattered with dynamite and
pulled, or else blasted clear Of the
ground by explosives. II blasted, the
dynamite would best be placed in a
hole bored In the tap root. When an
electric blasting outfit is used good
work can be done by placing charges
on opposite sides Of the tap root and
