By W. B. Hartman. If yon haye ever tried to farm a field from which the numerous stumps have not been removed, you will understand what I mean when 1 say that the extra labor required to farm such land costs more as a rule than the crop you get off of it. In the first place, each stump occupies a lot of space. In the second place, you can- not run the rows of crops right up to the stamps, and so you lose more ground. In the third place, it is al- most impossible to cultivate crops on land of this sort without trampling a great many hills. In the fourth place. it requires a lot of extra work and time fn trying to dodge the stumps as yoB worX the soli. Probably the custom of farming land of this sort is still in vogue in some places, because a few farmers still think more of plans that have been handed down from their fathers than they do of those that are more modem and more profitable. It has not been a great while, you know, that we have known how to remove stumps economically. We used to laboriously dig them out by hand and snake them away with a team. That was such hard work that decayed. Usually those that are de- cayed pull apart so badly that it re- quires a lot of extra work to get them oat To give you an idea of the costs 1 cleared a little less than 10 acres in 1917 at a total cost of $467.30, or a cost of about $48 an acre. I pulled 504 pine stumps, 810 oak stumps and 26 poplar stumps, a total of 1.340. In addition to this, I had 478 stumps that had to be snagged â€" that is, they were partlv gone, but parts of them had to be taken out. This was an average of nearly 189 stumps per acre. The actual pulling of the stumps cost me $23.50 an acre. The ne* greatest expense was for draggml them away. The next sn-patest ex- pense was the cost to Uke out the brush and burn it. It cost $2.73 an acre to stack the stumps. It cost $1.97 an acre to do the work of grubbing around the stumps in order to get hold with the , puller. The other operations wercl snagging, moving the stump puUer ' the use of the stump puller, the cost I of filling the holes, and other various small items. Compare this cost of $467.30 with! the net returns of $379. SO.

One of the problems for a long time was a good way to dispose of the stumps after they had been taken out. I finally found that most in poor pasture. Even one stump is a wa.?te. Clean fields and clean pastures and clean yards are the indication of thrift and of these stumps could he worked up | economy. Stumps are something like into fire wood, and sold for enough to | wet spots in the loss thev occasion, pay for quite a lot of the expense, so You sometimes see a field of irregu- as my stumping progressed.

Many people liked .started to plow around a wet place or it so well that they ask me vet for " - some of this kind of fuel. I have made it a point to keep a rec- ord of the actual costs in connection with stumping various fields I found that, as a rule, green stumps come around a stump or two and no one since has thought of the possibility of draining the wet spot or of grubbing out the stump, so extra work has been done for years. We can't afford such wastes any more. Land and its pro- out at less expense than those that are ! ducts are too valuable NEW OLEOMARGARINE REGULA- TIONS. TTndw the authority of The Oleo- margarine Act. 1919, and of An Act to Amend The Oleomargarine Act, 1919, new regulations have been passed governing the importation, manufacture and sale of oleomargar- ine in Canada. The provisions of the previous regulations have been re- tained and oew provisions have been introduced. The use of the words â- 'Butter." "Creamery." "Dairy" or the "Name of any Breed of Cattle" is pro- hibited (a) in any form of advertising or description of oleomargarine, or (b) on any package containing oleo- margarine. Each package of oleo- margarine manufactured, imported or sold, offered, exposed or had in posses- sion for sale must have the word "Oleo" stamped on the surface of the oleomargarine, in capital block letters, at least one and one-half inches high and of proportional width. NECESSITY OF MARKING EACH CHURNING OF BUTTER. The necessity of each buttermaker branding each box of butter with the name or brand of the creamery and the churning number has been forc- ibly illustrated on three occasions during the past week. .\ Canadian wholesaler shipped a car of butter to New York. On ar- rival there It was found that part of the car contained excess water. As the chnmlnga were not marked, pre- . , sumably each box in the car will be tested in order to sort out that which is adulterated. Two different Ontario wholesalers each shipped a car of Ontario Cream- ,v ery butter to Montreal during the week. A part of each car is reported ' from Montreal as containing excessive water. One of the cars contained the make of tour different creameries, all of which were not branded with the name of the creamery or churning * number. Arrangements are being made for testing each of the six hun- dred boxes In the car at a cost of one " hundred and fifty dollars. Had the 4 chnmlngs been numhered. only one box of each chunilng need he tested and the cost of picking out the butter containing excessive water would only .b. lie one-tenth or less of the present cost. It may be impossible in these cases ^ to fix th« responsibility on the cream- !"> ery and the dealer may have to take the loss due to cost of testing, rework- ing, decrease in weight and quality, but such losses eventually work back to the creamery. If the dealer must bear such losses, he must have a wider margin on which to do business. As most wholesalers to-day are testing the shipments from each creamery when received, and in cases of exces- sive water, are charging the creamery with the cost of testing, reworking and loss in weight and quality, the cream- ery shipping such butter will reduce the loss by numbering each churning. EX-SOLDIERS IN U. S. LOOKING TO CANADA. J. E. Nevins of Los Angeles. Cali- fornia, writes to a friend in Ottawa that he is coming back to Canada to take up land under the Soldier Settle- ment scheme. He says there are many ex-soldiers of the Canadian Expedi- tionary Force temporarily located in California who are looking with long- ing eyes to Canada and are desirous of taking up soldier settler's farms. CLEANING REVEALS MASTER- PIECE. A genuine Rembrandt entitled "He- raelitus and r»emocritus." was recent- ly sold, in London. England for the very small sum of $24,000. to a Dutch dealer. The picture was covered, with such a thick coat of old vsu-nish that English dealers were afraid to risk the chance of cleaning. Many good judges were convinced that it was a ,i;tnulne Rembrandt, and one of these declared that it was "not only by Rembrandt but one of his masterpieces." It has since been cleaned, and has been pro- nounced by an expert to be a splendid example of a Rembrandt of about 1660. of ii'most pricel*<83 value. The Holland Government is making efforts to Increase the domestic pro- duction of edible oils by making full use of the beechnut crop, which ex- ceeds 2000 metric tons annually. Both the top and bottom brackets in a new carbon holder for arc lights in projecting lanterns can be adjusted horlJiontally as well as vertically to maintain perfect alignment. An English Eire Department is test- ing a new flre escape by which persons are lowered in a basket from a tower raised against a building instead of being carried down ladders. DAY OF WEEKLY NEWSPAPER NOW AS NEVER BEFORE Not in a Hundred Years Have Weeklies Occupied the Place ' They Do To-Day. It is the day of the weekly paper. All the world is getting down to business. Waste is being eliminated, wages are going up. costs are going up. Shortage of newsprint is going to work a great change in the news- paper business. Years ago, newspapers each other over politics, tors attacked each other, most papers view politicians with suspicion. Everything around a news- paper is on a cost basis. If a politician wants space in a paper to-day, he pays for it just as the grocer might. Our great daUies are no longer champions of parties or organs of individuals. They are rather great impersonal institutions for circulating what is known as news. News of gen- eral interest goes in certain columns, the 'best and most interesting news goes in the advertising columns. Never in a hundred years has the weekly paper occupied the place it ha« to-day in the hearts of the people. It takes a fortune to launch and fi- nance one of the big dailies; but the weekly paper is an institution which can be financed upon a comparatively small capital. It is not the monev in a weekly paper which makes it" im- portant in a community, it is the brains behind the thing, the heart, the personality. The Great Force. It is not the circulation of the week- ly 4)aper which makes it a great force in the community, it is the policy of the paper, the character of the men associated with it. While the daily papers publish long accounts of the doings of the chancel- lories of Europe, the modern well- edited weekly confines its attention to valuable work nearer at hand. Its field is near to the earth. It does not deal in international politics but does the job well which is at hand. The" day of the bitter fight as be- tween Grit and Tory has gone forever. Whether this or that party should be in power does not disturb the editor of 1920. But there are vital problems dealt with in the rural press, the week- ly press, which the great journals rare- ly discuss. And here are some of them: Development of agricultural science. Improvement of markets. Building of better roads. Extension of rural health centres. Improvement of educational facili- ties for the country districts. To-day space which was once de- voted to articles attacking political op- ponents has been reclaimed for such good work as the advocacy of breed- ing of pure-bred stock. Where the weekly press once delved in the politi- cal field, intelligent and serious mind- ed newspaper men are to-day devot- ing their literary talents to such sub- jects as the more intensive cultiva- tion of the field in which food for man and beast is the harvest. You will look in vain in a city daily for articles on such subjects as pota- toes and hogs an^ apples and beef; but the average weekly devotes most of its space to articles upon the culti- vation of soil and the intelligent pro- duction, marketing and manufacture of these vital necessities of mankind. They keep down near to the hearts and speak in a language all of us can understand. If there are among editors to-day leaders of public opinion, you will find a higher percentage of them among the men of the weekly press. Free from the entangling influences of the great cities, aloof from sordid com- mercialism, their expressions are more likely to be those of free and unbiased thinkers and observers who are each day in personal touch with the men and women of the community. Citizens can perform no better com- munity service than that of support ing the local press. And that support must not be limit- ed to the spending of money upon ad- vertising space or subscriptions, but must be to an extent personal and from the heart.
