The Shot Process. of Drilling.

In this method of drilling through rock
steel shot are poured inside of the drill
pipe, into q ring or channel made in the
rock by few revolutions of the pipe. The
pipe bears on this ring of shot, and when
the pipe is revolved it causes the shot to
revolve also and cut the channel in the
rock deeper. As boring large holes through
hard rock by means of diamonds (Which
are now costing from three to four times
as much as they did few years ago. is
very expensive work, the new process OF
drilling by means Of steel shot will, it is
expected, be used in many cases instead Of
the diamond drill. Popular Science News
reports the putting down Of test boring
inches in diameter and 800 feet deep.

The need Of dsi.ymen arousing them
selves. and organizing against the wealth and
combination which is flooding the markets
with oleomargarine in the guise of butseri is
painfully apparent. Good butter in COM
petition with the bogus, if the latter.is known
to be bogus, is not to be feared. But the
present condition is alarming in many res
poets. The Mirror and Farmer forcibly
presents the danger. From its quite lengthy
article on the subject we take the following :
The dairymen of this country are vast
ing valuable time and letting their last
opportunity slip out of their hands by keep
ing so quiet about the greatest danger which
threatens them and spending their time in
annual conventions and other meeting dis
cussiDg methods which are of little import
ance. 1t is little use to teach people the
best way or any way to make butter if the
market is to be ruined so there is no mar
ket for it. The danger from the bogus
butter business is felt and realized, but
seem to be so amazed or benumbed people
by its immensely that they are simply waiting
as they do in tornado for it to pass over or
for some other power to meet and conquer
the enemy. This enemy is all the time
gaining in wealth and influence and fasten-
ing its hold on all the markets of the coun-
try and there is no power which can prevent
it that shows any disposition to do SO.
There is money enough behind the bust
ness to buy all protection that is need
ed and the scattered dairymea are lilly
hoping that the spirit of honor will again
revive and wipe out the stupendous fraud.
