' One of the problems in clearing eut-over lands is the disposition of the roots and small trees and brush, and it would seem that the logical way to get rid of these is by the use of some sort of a machine for pulling them from the ground and hauling them into convenient piles for burning. For this purpose what is known as astump puller is usually re- sorted to, such machines being operated by horse or steam pow- er, The most of the pullers on this market are built to work by horse power, and those who have paid the closest attention to the|; subject are of the opinion that there is tuo much loss of time and too great risk in having the horse or horses step over the cable, as must be done. A horse will not step over the cable at a height of two feet and keep up a steady pull, So at each round it is necessary to ungear and allow the cable to fall, then pass the horse over and take a fresh start. This takes a good deal of time, eating up about one-half of the power, It is, therefore, expensive to use the horsepower machines. Those run by steam power are, however, also open to many ob- jections, one of the chief being the securing of water to run it and also the expense of cutting]: the fuel. Aside from these ob- jections as to power, all of the machines on the market have more or less short comings as to Strength, All of them are strong enough in spots, so to speak, but you can hardly find one of chese machines in practi- cal use that does net frequently break down, some being weak in one place and others in another, And none of them is just the such a machine more than a few weeks in each year; his co-owners and neighbors should so arrange as to keep it running practically all the time. And if the machine is properly constructed, as the machine of the future must be, one neighborhood will, not. wear it out and it could be sold to an- other. With.the proper sort of eommunity-owned machine, land- clearing will not only be shorn of some of its terrors, but_the cost will be redused to 10 or $15 per acre, One of our prominent land owners, one who has made 2 close study of charpitting and other clearing, is now. centering his attention on a machine built along the lines mentioned, and that he will at. least go several steps forward there is no doubt. But it may be some of the pres- ent manufacturers will change their tactics from a cheap mach- ine which they aver any man with a few acres of land can af-|} ford to own, to oneof vast power and easily changed gear, with gasolene power, which will he offered to large owners and com- munities at a fair value.—Ex.
