TWO WAYS OF CLEARING LAND.
---
Relative Cost of Power Machinery
and Explosives.
When time is no object, the best
way to clear land from timber growth
is to let nature and live stock assist.
When the growth is removed and the
burned off clean, which, with
most grovrths, maybe made a profit-
able operation by the sale of the tim-
ber and firewood, clover and grass

This process will require from six to

At the Experimental Station, Fred-
ericton, N.B., where it was desired to
bring the land into cultivation at the
earliest possible moment, two plans
of stump removal have been tried, and
herewith are given figures of the rela-
tive cost on land from which an aver-
age tree growth had been removed.
Tho two methods employed were:
stump pulling by power, and removal
by dynamite.
A stump puller of the drum and
long lever type was employed, giving
a lifting power of 25 tons with an
ordinary team. With one hundred
and twenty stumps, 10 inches and
over, to the acre, and seventy-two
smaller stumps, it required an aver- :

Charcoal is a cleansing agent in the
kitchen. A lump of charcoal put in
any jar keeps the contents sweet and
purified, for the charcoal absorbs un-
pleasant odors and iMpurities. A
lump on each shelf of the icebox is
also useful.
Cracks in Plaster—A good filling is
plaster of paris mixed with vinegar,
which will not set for twenty or thirty
minutes, while water will set very
quickly, often before you can use it.
The putty -like mass must be pushed
into the cracks and can be smoothed
off evenly with a table knife.
To clean irons rub them on brown
paper over which powdered bath
brick has been sprinkled, and if they
become rusty, rubbing them with
emery powder and a little paraffin will
put them right. But table salt
sprinkled on several thicknesses of
strong paper, over which you work
the heated iron is just as good as any-
thing.
To Freshen Gilt Frames.—Dust gilt
frames carefully, then wash with one
ounce of soda beaten up with the
whites of three eggs. Where serateh-
ed, patch up with gold paint. To
clean oil paintings use castile soap and
water, very carefully applied, Gilt
may aleo be brightened by adding to
a pint or two of water sufficient floW-
er of sulphur to give it a golden tinge.

quantity of garlic. Strnin off the
liquid, and wash the gilding avith a

the Father being the original Source.
Without him—It is the same word as
in John 15. 5, "apart from me ye can'
do nothing." Read here, "Apart from
him not even one thing came into be-
ing. That which hath come into be-
ing was lifejn him." Note how often
life appears where we might expect
alive: the self -propagating quality of
life is always in thou ht never stop-
ping with one object, but passing it-
self on. It is rather attractive to con-
nect in him with the rec cl• verb,
and understand that "all which has
been born in him" has this great qual-
ity of life. Tho light—Life and Light
are the two great words of this Gospel,
land the Epistle which accompanies it:
' they meet in Love, which is the es-
sence of God.
5. Overcome (margin)—The same
phrase in John 12. 86, "lest darkness
overtake you": what possessed our
translators to take the other sense of
the verb here, and what the meaning
may. be, are mysteries. Darkness
may "overcome" us, but never the
Light, which is eternal.
6. These three verses prepare for
verse 15, the report of the witness for
the sake of which John was born. Note
that in this case the Fore -runner was
like his Lord, who in John 18. 37 de-
clares that he was born and came into
the world that he might "bear witness
to the Trath." And He to whom John
"bore witness" is himself the Truth.
8. The negative points to the strong
and repeated disclaimers of John, who
even long after his death was still be-
lieved to have been the Messiah (Acts
19. 8).
9. Coming into the world refers to
the light (compare again John 18. 87).
The universality of the Light is here
expressed most strikingly. Every hu-
man being has some glimmer of the
True Light, and that Light is the
Word.
10. He was—The masculine prelim.'
in this verse comes in to tell us that
the Light, like the Word, is no ab-
straction, but a Person. Moreover, he
was in the world: the statement that
he was coming into it does not mean

that if the city and ountry could be
brought into the el est and easiest
communication, that a general pros-
perity would inevitably accrue. Of
course, they always had the idea of
war in the back -ground, and knew
that when armies could be transported
readily, success was always cloeest at
hand. The paramount though, never-
theless, was easy access to outlying
districts. This being true, there is
now no doubt that a further step is
being taken by progressive farmers
in the purchase and maintenance of
trucks and trailers, in order that the
cost of transportation may be brought
down to a minimum. A good road is
always a well -travelled one, no matter
what class of vehicular traffic is popu-
lar, but if in Canada we can combine
good roads with minimum transporta-
tion charges, we have gone a long way
towards a money -making era such as
never yet h been• d.
Motor Trucks.
1 Motor trucks are being used, at the
present time, by many farmers engag-
ed in the fruit, dairy, creamery, cheese
and allied industries. ,Sometimes
these trucks are purchased new, direct
from the manufacturers or their
agents, at pries ranging all the way
from $750 to $5,000, but in most cases
the machines are either purchased
second hand, after having been replac-
ed by new ones in city work, or a pas-
senger automobile is torn down and a
truck body placed upon the chassis.
Both systems find many advocates,
and both bring varying degrees of sat-'
isfaction. If you have never used a
truck, it might be well to go slowly at
first, but the system that we suggest
would bo the purchase of an old pas -
sen er • with e body but

or pursue the simpler method of talc.'

truck of from 1,000 to 2,500 lbs, cepa.,

ty for from $000 tip. There are a
great many arguments in favor of
hard tires, but we believe that the

handle by egperimenting a little on

draw a trailer with a load that is too
heavy for the car, as damage, through
strain, may resuts to the mechanism
, of the automobile. There are a few
points regarding the trailer proposi-
tion that are worthy of your attention.
On muddy, slippery and sandy roads
an automobile must of necessity, re-

ers are attached to passenger cars
through a drawbar which in turn is! That about 1,500 Germans were
attached to buffer springs that take
up jolts and vibration. There is one
other point that we must emphasize,
and that is the ease with which trail-
ers can be loaded. If you have a
great deal of hauling to do, and can-
not see your way clear to invest in a
truck, it may pay you very well to
purchase two 'trailers, one of which
can be in the process of loading while
your passenger automobile is deliver-
ing the other to any destination. Iron

All the Kings of Prussia have been

killed in a terrible explosion in the
,. Fort of Douaumont on May 17th has
'now been established. Al, that time
the fort was under a night and day
bombardment by the French of such
I an unrelenting nature that it was
!practically impossible for a man to
leave. It was impossible, says Mr,
Henry Wood, a United Prees _come-
! spondent, to carry the bodies out and
bury them; they were therefore car-
red into one of the subterranean
galleries and piled op along -the walls
from the floor to the ceiling and al-
lowed to remain there until intermit-
tent -interruption in the bombardment
allowed them to be taken out a few
at a time and buried,
Only one important detail is lack -
Sag. That is, the original cause of
the explosion. It is known that it
was communicated to the huge maga.
:does of explosives and munitions
which the Germans had concentrated
in the fort, with the most appalling
effects. The reinforced concrete walls
of the fort, some of them several
yards thick, and with practically no
air vents or escapes, retained all the
tesneussion. Hundreds of the. garrison
were killed by the mere shook alone,
and thoee who survived quickly -died

Following. the occupation of the
