BENNETT'S STUMP EXTRACTOR.
Public Trial. » p Quite a number of settlers interested in clearing stump covered t ground, attended thepublio triul of s Bennett'B improved stump extractor, r held on Saturday afternoon in a pad- c dock adjoining Messrs Lowes and , Icrns' sale yards, The extractors are s I made in seven one exhibited ' | being anumberfivo,whichis warranted ' to lift up to fifty tons with two men. , After Mr Genn (representative jf the i Walter A. Wood Harvester Company, ' wlioaretheN.Z.agents) had introduced ' the machine and explained its merits. , his assistant attached it to a 'heavy i looking stump and in a few minutes j it was raised clean out of the ground, ; At' tbe request ot tho onlookers several stumps were operated on with a highly satisfactory result,tho genial ' agent aptly remarking " Gentlemen, this is tho machine that will take the mortgage off tho farm !" Tho extractor jb simplicity itself, and in tho stiffest bush country hereabouts two men with a horse can work the machine with cose,for once the ground is broken, one man oan raiso the stump whilo the other can break ' down the soil from tbe roots so filling i the hole made, and the stump can be i leftontopto be dealt with as required, The advantages to be gained by clearing the country of stumps is clearly mamiest to all, as the feed,'which 1 must necessarily get dirty without cultivation iB unlit to carry a full ; complement of slock, while with the . roots cleared away, tho ground can bo tilled with tho utmost ease, and the feed renewed at will, amply ropaying tke'farmer for his labour. We cordially recommend our bush readers to see this extractor when in their distriot, as wo have no hesitation in saying that tbe value of dairy farms will bo doubled by being able to grow a supply of root crops and B other fodder for winter feeding. On Wednesday thero will be a public r fjial of the extractor in Mr Hummer's' - plddock near the ;Mauricevill6 railwtkßtation,, i \ /
