Taihape. YOU WANT TO CLEAR YOUR j , STUMPS? , j Nearly every farmer realises that every ' stump in his paddocks is costing, him money. There's loss in carrying capacity, "there's loss of , time and labour, and, in addition, harness and shares are always being damaged. Yet in these days of difficulties in getting labour, many a farmer feeis he cannot have iiis stumps cleared, because 'he can't get men to do the work—if so, he will be interested to know that the' Atlas Powder Co. has a special proposition for him. Every farmer who has 6tumps to clear is requested to write to the Atlas Powder Co., Nathan's Buildings, Wellington, or to Goldingham and Beckett, Ltd., Distributing Agents for Wellington, Taranaki, and Wairarapa, for full information with regard to this proposition. Atlas Farm Powder removes stumps cheaply, quickly, and effectively. -Advt.
