Beside, in early cutting there Is lean
loss from shellini; out in handling, and
from high winds, which involves a
very heavy loss in ripened grain. '

main, also true ol other small grains—
oats and rye. If we raise them for

tration shows a new method. It con-
sista in screwing a wedge into the top
of the stump. The wedge is in reality
a large conical screw, provided at ha
lower end with a fine thread used for
starting the cone into the wood. The
shaft of the screw Is provided with a
hand wheel, by which it may be stead-
ied and turned. Extending laterally
from the shaft is a long arm, at the
end of which a whtffletree ia coupled.
A horse may be hitched to the whlffl-
tree, to turn the shaft and screw the
cone into the stump. When the stump
is too large for the threaded cone on
the shaft to split effectively, another
cone section may be added. After the
stump has been split by means of the
cone into a number of small parts
these parts can easily be excavate*
and removed.

Within the last decade there has
