Yea, I'm purty well fixed for winter, I guess. All the crops, In machinery all stored an* cleaned up? 'iled an' painted her, ev ery bit of her that needed it, BOmethin' I'd never done before. An' wood all In tho dry; sawed up, too, Jist ready to kcop the ol" fireplace a-roarin' when It gits cold." "Stovewood, too?" "Say, Buddy, let nie tell you a tale: I've alias got plenty dry stovewood. My wife ain't handled any other kind III so long she's forgot what it feels like, l guess. Yes sir! All' 1 see that the hoys keep plenty of it in the kitch en, too." lie went on with tho letters, and when he had finished, laid them down and said: "Well, you ort to have a purty good paper this time, a doggone good un! But that's one thing you've left out that ort to go in. You ort to hit these fellers woh let thai' wives go into kitchens with holes In the floor, tin* no | underpinning an' a crack around the door, an' a winderllght or two mlssin', an' expect 'em to shiver an' freeze an' ketch cold in thar winter mornin's while they're git tin' breakfast. Why. I've seen kitchens that wouldn't warm up on a cold mornin' till break fast had been cooked an' et tip. I've seen people, too. who'd cat in a room so cold it' ml make yore teeth chatter. None o' that fei' me. 1 don't eat be cause I base to; 1 eat because I like the exercise, an' I want to do it in comfort. 1 don't think I'd enjoy my breakfast, though, if 1 knowned some body nearly froze cookin' it, an' 1 know supper wouldn't taste good if 1 knowod my noses an' cows wus bound to be cold all night."

There are a whole lot of ways of doing this very impor tant job. The usefulness of dyna mite and of the stump puller has been] many times demonstrated; burning seems to give good results in some j cases. In short, if a man Is really in earnest about gottlng rid of hlB! stumps, he can find a way to do it. It will cost him something, to be sure, any way he goes at it; but It will bo decidedly profitable work for all that. Does any man suppose that It doesn't cost him anything to dodge about stumps as he breaks and cultivates bis land, to be compelled to use crude implements instead of improved ones, to repair the breakage and make up the loss of wear and tear caused by the stumps, to get rid of the weeds which grow about them to seed the rest of the field, to lose the use of the land they occupy7 Clearing out the stumps may not add to the actual fer tility of the laid, hut it will Increase its cultivable arear, and enable it to grow larger crops.?The Progressive Farmer.
