paper has several times denied its paternity. The uselessness of the process can easily be learned by trial. There are few more inflammable substances than pitch and turpentine. The roots of pine stumps are saturated with these, but it is impossible to burn them out. The addition of saltpetre would not help much. Yet there are seasons when the soil and air are so dry that hard wood stumps may be burned out without either saltpetre or kerosene. We had such a year in 1881, when corn and clover standing uncut in the field were burned. In some instances the curbing was burned out of wells during terrible forest fires that raged in Michigan. If tried in such a season the recipe would undoubtedly be successful. In any ordinary season it is "no good." * * * * * No matter how wretched a man may be, he is still a member of our common species, and if he possesses any of the common specie his acquaintance is worth having. * * * * * [Illustration] FARM MACHINERY, Etc. GREAT SAVING FOR FARMERS. THE Lightning Hay Knife! (WEYMOUTH'S PATENT.) [Illustration] Awarded "FIRST ORDER OF Merit" at Melbourne Exhibition, 1880. Was awarded the FIRST PREMIUM at the International Exhibition in Philadelphia, 1876, and accepted by the Judges as SUPERIOR TO ANY OTHER KNIFE IN USE. It is the BEST KNIFE in the _world_ to cut _fine feed_ from bale, to cut down _mow_ or _stack_, to cut _corn-stalks_ for feed, to cut _peat_, or for ditching in marshes, and has no equal for cutting ensilage from the silo. TRY IT. IT WILL PAY YOU. Manufactured only by HIRAM HOLT & CO., East Wilton, Me., U.S.A. _For sale by Hardware Merchants and the trade generally_ * * * * * SEDGWICK STEEL WIRE FENCE [Illustration] IT is the only general-purpose Wire Fence in use, being a STRONG NET WORK WITHOUT BARBS. It will turn dogs, pigs, sheep and poultry, as well as the most vicious stock, without injury to either fence or stock. It is just the fence for farms, gardens stock ranges, and railroads, and very neat for lawns, parks, school lots and cemeteries. Covered with rustproof paint (or galvanized) it will last a life time. It is SUPERIOR TO BOARDS or BARBED WIRE in every respect. We ask for it a fair trial, knowing it will wear itself into favor. The SEDGWICK GATES, made of wrought iron pipe and steel wire, DEFY ALL COMPETITION in neatne
