Then fasten on to another, and repeat the process until all the stumps are out within reach of the one the machine is anchored to. The machine will then have to bo moved to another anchoring place, and so on until the field is cleared. The last stump left must be grubbed out. It will be necessary to remember that the power of this lever is very great, and stump pulling requii'es stout implements and chains. A breakage may not only cause delay, but a blow from a snapping chain may very easily be fatal; it is therefore absolutely necessary for safety that the ciiains be made of the best iron, with the best workmanship, and strong enough to hold against all the resistance they may meet. The lever should be strengthened with iron plates in those parts where the holes are bored for the clevis bolts. Horse Rakes and Tedders.—For horse rakes, there is none equal in perfectness of execution to the American Revolving Rake, now in common use ; but it is a man-killer. The Sulkey steel-toothed rakes are coming into use, and are very generally liked in the older portions of Canada, or where the fields are well cleared of stumps, and are moderately smooth.
