touched with fire it burns rapidly like
wet gunpowder, but developes no
force bnt if small quantity of de-
tonating powder-like that in an orr
binary gun cap-be fred in contact
with the dynamite, the latter ex-
plodes with tremendous force.
In blasting stumps the process is
as follows A hole of an inch or
more in diameter is made IN the earth
near the stump, inclinlng at an angle
OF about AZ degrees, so as to reach
underneath the body of the stump.
This hole may be made with crow
bar through the soil, out if there be
large deep tap>root it will be nec-
essary to continue the hole into the
body OF the tap root by means of a
long auger. A cartridge containing
B or 4 ounces of dynamite is then in.
serted to the bottom of the hole and
slow match having peculiar per
cussion cap on the end is inserted in
the cartridge, The hole is then tam-
pered with earth, and when all is
ready the outer end of the match is
lighted and the operator retires to
safe distance. The explosion usually
not only extracts the stump from the
ground but tears it into pieces small
enough to handle easily. The dyna~
mite costs about 40 cents per pound,
so that 3 or 4 ounce charge with its
fuse would cost about 10 cents
making the cost OF blowing up a stump
about ten cents, besides the labor.
IL Is well to say that the cost OF
removing stumps where they are nu-
merous, would be too much-by this
or any other plan-unless advantage
Is taken Of their removal to use the
improved labor saving machinery and
implements for cultivating and
harvesting, and at the same time to
bring the land up to high culture.
There are many acres Of land in this
country whose market value is not
equal to the aggregate OF ten cents
per stump and tree now standing, and
1t is patent that it would not pay to
go to the expense OF five orsix or more
dollars per acre to them merely ior
the sake OF the space they occupy and
to get them out of the way of ordi-
nary implements.
