In regard to pouring coal oil on the stumps, if enough is poured on I pre- sume it would kill the stumps, but I imagine a small quantity would injure them very slightly.
From time to time we have rumors of kerosene being applied to stumps through holes bored in the top and al- lowed to stand for some time. It is claimed that these stumps may be burned out very easily and completely. However, we have never yet run across any case of where this process of stump removal has been econom- ical.
If anyone is especially anxious to kill the stumps quickly, I would ad- vise him to go along with a spade and mattock and take the dirt away from the roots for six inches below the ground line and peel the bark from the stump.
TRACTOR DONT'S From Prairie Farmer.
In order to assist the user in pre- venting most of the common gasoline engine troubles, the Bull Bulletin in a recent issue gives the following dont's:
Don't put gasoline into the tank without straining it through a cha- mois; there may be water in the gas- oline, or some sediment that would clog up the carburetor or mixing valve.
Don't handle gasoline by the light of a lantern or other open light. If you have no electric light where the tank is located, never fill it except by daylight.
Don't attempt to run an engine without providing sufficient lubrica- tion.
Don't over-oil the engine. Just enough in the right place is better than a quart.
Don't use common black oil on small bearings. Such oil is not suited to the purpose.
Don't get oil or grease on the wires of the battery circuit; it will ruin the insulation.
Don't hold a spark plug wire more than 1/4 inch away from the engine with the current turned on, when test- ing. There is danger of ruining the spark coil.
Don't throw away a spark plug un- less it is broken. A spark plug does not wear out, and the only attention it requires is usually nothing more than grinding.
Don't screw a spark plug on too tight. It may "bake" fast. Graphite, is available, should be used on the threads.
Don't throw away any batteries in winter until you have tried thawing them out. Often they are only con- gealed or frozen up.
Don't leave the battery switch closed when the engine is not running.
Don't leave the gasoline turned on when the engine is not running.
Don't attempt to connect more cells of battery in a set than recommended by the maker of the engine. You may overload the spark coil and burn. it out.
Don't leave strands of wire sticking out around connections. They may cause a "ground" in the circuit.
Don't attempt to use any method to warm up the carburetor n cold weather that might ignite the gasoline. Cloths that have been wrung out of hot water are the safest means of heating the carburetor if necessary.
Don't run your engine when over- heated.
Don't drive the engine if it makes an unusual noise or squeak; stop at once and remedy the defect.
Don't drive with a slipping clutch; study its connection and master the methods of adjustment.
Don't drive if the lubricator is out of order.
Don't make a noise when changing gear.
Don't race the engine.
Don't measure the depth of gasoline with a dirty stick.
Don't allow a leaky gasoline pipe to go unrepaired; a spark or a hot ex- haust pipe might cause the gasoline to ignite.

Don't forget to properly lock any nuts after making an adjustment, nor neglect to replace split pins which you may have withdrawn.
Don't lubricate the gear with too thick a grease.
Don't put too much lubricant in a : gear-box.
Don't over-lubricate anywhere.
THE TRACTIONEER'S DREAM.
By George Fitch.
The tractor on the farm arose Before that dawn at four,
It drove the cows and washed the clothes.
And finished every chore.
Then forth it went into the field. Just at the break of day;
It reaped and threshed the golden yield, And hauled it all away.
It plowed the field that afternoon And when the job was through
It hummed a pleasant little tune And churned the butter, too.
And pumped the water for the stock, And ground a crib of corn,
And hauled the baby 'round the block To still its cries forlorn.
Thus ran the busy hours away By many a labor blest;
And yet, when fell the twilight gray The tractor had no rest.
For while the farmer, peaceful eyed, Read by the Tungsten's glow, The patient tractor stood outside And ran the dynamo.
RULES FOR PRODUCING HIGH QUALITY EGGS.
From Prairie Farmer.
Chickens must be healthy, good size and not mongrel.
Plenty of clean nests must be pro- vided in chicken houses or places where the hens lay.
Setting hens must be separated from the laying flock.
Broody hens must be broken up im- mediately or transferred to place where the setting hens are housed.
Eggs must be gathered daily in cool weather and twice daily in very warm or extremely cold weather.
All eggs must be kept in a cool, dry and well ventilated place.
A warm kitchen, damp cellar, or in a room where oil, onions or strong, odorous vegetables are kept is very
unsatisfactory, as eggs readily absorb odors.
A dry, cool, clean, well ventilated cellar or cave is the best.
Never wash eggs, as it spoils their keeping qualities.
Use very small, dirty eggs at home or market them in regular cases, not in the association cartons.
Eggs of questionable quality must not be marketed through the associa- tion.
Always keep the eggs as cool as possible and away from direct rays of ยท sun.
Market all eggs at least twice a week in summer and fall and not longer than once a week during the rest of the season.
After June 1, all mature males must be confined and sold and infertile eggs produced.

ORGANIZING THRESHING RING By Frank I. Mann in Prairie Farmer.
I do not know of a draft of by-laws suitable for a threshing ring, but it would be an easy matter to draw up such if desired. Most of the threshing rings are held together by a "gentle- man's agreement," which, as a rule, is just as good as a "cut and dried" con- stitution and by-laws, and more likely to be observed.
The plan of procedure is to get all the parties in the ring present at a meeting, and if any are not present let them agree to observe the provisions agreed upon at the meeting. Elect a chairman and secretary. The secre- tary is to keep a record of all meas- ures acted upon by the meeting, and these minutes are in fact the by-laws to be observed later. Usually, an ex- ecutive committee of about three members are chosen, and this execu- tive committee has full powers to de- cide matters not decided at the gen- eral meeting, to contract with engine and separator men, either by the cir- cuit or threshing and other matters not previously agreed upon.
Usually the general meeting decides who is to furnish separator and en- gine and the price to be paid under a contract with owners of machines. The number of acres to be threshed is ascertained and the number of men to be furnished is distributed among the members according to acreage. In an average ring each 40-acre field fur- nishes one man; 80 acres, two men, and 100 acres or more, three men. timekeeper may be agreed upon at the general meeting, and the timekeeper keeps accurate time the separator is running on each job. At the end of the threshing season a "clearance" is made of the work or men furnished during the season, and those who have received less help than supplied re- ceive the difference, which, of course, is paid by those who have given less than received. This "clearing" of help furnished has a good tendency to keep peace in a neighborhood, and is equi- table.
If the ring is a large one, as many of the details should be agreed upon at the general meeting as possible, so as to avoid future misunderstandings. The order in which the jobs are threshed should be understood, and a rotation agreed upon for future years,
so no set of members will be thrown either first or last; the hours for com- mencing and stopping work each day should be understood; the executive committee should have power to de- cide if any laborer furnished is ineffi- cient. Let the Golden Rule be the motto and the minutes be the by- laws, and among men there will be harmony.
PREPARING POULTRY FOR MARKET.
From Prairie Farmer.
Grasp the chicken, when killing, by the bony part of the skull. Do not let the fingers touch the neck. Make a small cut with a small, sharp pointed knife on the right side of the roof of the chicken's mouth, just where the bones of the skull end. Brain for dry picking by thrusting the knife through the groove which runs along the mid- dle of the roof of the mouth until it touches the skull midway between the eyes. Use a knife which is not more than 2 inches long, one-fourth inch wide, with a thin, flat handle, a sharp point, and a straight cutting edge.
At least 30 per cent of all the poul- try coming into the New York market is incompletely bled. Much of it is so badly bled that it results in a loss of from 2 to 5 cents a pound, as com- pared with the corresponding poultry which is well bled and in good order. Aside from the bad appearance of in- completely bled chickens, their keep- ing properties are very inferior. The flesh loses its firmness sooner; its flavor is not so good.
A very large proportion of the un- sightly poultry in our markets aside from the rubbing and tearing of the skins, is caused by an incomplete re- moval of the blood. This is evidenced by red dots which frequently occur where the feathers have been re- moved, especially over the thighs and wings, or by the small veins, which mar the appearance of the neck. Gen- erally it is the neck which shows most plainly the presence of blood in the fowl, or that a wrong method has been used in cutting the blood vessels in an attempt to empty them. The neck is the first part to discolor, becoming first red, then bluish red or purple and finally green as aging progresses.
