explosives for which useful service greater than
producing noise the celebration of the 4th of
July. have heretofore been discovered, have at last
been applied to practical account. In some of the
New England States caterpillarsare destroyed with
them. The way is to place on the end of split
pole thrust it INTO the nest, and knock them all to
flinders 1t will take sometimes two or three crack
ers to denolish large nest, though for small col
loctions single explosion is sufficient. The boys
don't consider this work. but 60 at it with gasto.
