little about it (dynamite) except from results
shown on my field. A Mr.. Pamelee, who
makes it his business to blow up rocks with
dynamite passing my place, asked him to
experiment in one of my fields, which | pro-
posed to clear of rocks. l pointed to rock
1O3 feet long, 81 feet wide, and 9 or 10 inches
thick such a rock as would be difficult to
blast with powder. took out my watch,
and in u minutes the rock was in atoms. |
directed him to another large rock, shallow
one, and he destroyed it in about the same
time The action of the dynamite was re-
markable. A large white quartz rock, very
hard to drill, was next pulverized by dyna-
mite The first blast threw the large rock
from its bed to the surface. He then put
cartridge by the side Of the rock and ad'
hered it to the rock by two or three shovel
fuls of mud. Powder would have blown off
the mud, but the dynamite so shattered that
rock I could pick it to pieces with my hands.
The pieces weigh from a pound and less to
ten pounds. The difference between powder
and dynamite is this: In blasting with pow
der you drill the rock, but with dynamite you
drill the ground. The operator makes a
hole under the rock, and all he wants to re-
sist that discharge is little water, which, if
he can get it underneath, he does not want
any earth to back up. 1t is the instantan-
eous discharge of this agent that skaters the
rock. Powder you must con6ne, but with
dynamite the discharge is so sudden that ii
skaters the rock to pieces. The rocks were
not thrown as far as by powder. l was so
we'll pleased with the result of the dynamite
on this field that set the man to work on
three large rocks in another field, which
had never thought of getting rid of by pow.
der. Trenches were dug under these rocks
by my men, from ten to eleven feet in depth,
so you may judge of the size Of the rocks.
The rocks were thrown but little distance
but were completely shattered. ."-JournaI Of

THE New HORSE SHoE.-The English ag-
ricultural and other press are in raptures over
the Yates horse shoe, constructed of COW
hide 1t is composed of three thicknesses Of
cow.hide compressed into steemould, and
then subjected to chemical preparation.
It is claimed for it that it lasts longer and
weighs only one.fourth as much as the COM
mon iron shoe; that it will never cause the
hoof to split, nor have the least injurious in
fuence on the foot 1t requires no calks;
even on asphalt the horse never slips. The
shoe is so elastic that the horses step is light
er and surer. 1t adheres so closely to the
foot that neither dust nor water can penetrate
between the shoe and the hoof. If all that is
claimed for it be true, the new hide SHOE will
prove a great Improvement upon the old.
The idea, however, is by no means new one
At the time of the Roman and Carthaginian
wars, it was frequent practice among cav
airy men to bind the feet Of their horses with
raw cowhide, to protect them from injury du-
ring an engagement.
