DYNAMITE AND ICE.
A Strenuous Day in the Arctic With
Peary on the Roosevelt.

think that none of the members
of the Peary expedition will ever for
get the goth of August. The Roose-
vet was kicked about the foes as
if she had been a football. The game
begun about four o'clock in the morn
ing. was in my cabin trying to get
a little sleep with my clothes on, for
I had not dared to remove them for a
week. My rest was cut short by a
shock 80 violent that before I realized
that anything had happened found
myself on deck-a deck that inclined
to starboard some IL to Is degrees.
I ran, or rather climbed, the deck to
the port side and saw what had hap
pened. A big foe rushing past with
the current had picked up the
grounded berg to which we were at
tached by the hawsers and dashed
it against the Roosevelt and clear
along her port side as if that thous-
and ton berg had been a toy. The
berg brought up against another just
aft of us, and the Roosevelt slipped
from between the two like a creased
pig.
AS soon as the pressure was re-
laxed and the ship regained an even
keel we discovered that the cable
which had been attached to the foe
berg had become entangled with the
propeller. It was a time for lightn-
ing thought and action, but by at
taching heavier cable to the parted
one and taking a hitch around the
steam capstan we finally disentangled
it.
This excitement was no sooner over
than a great berg that was passing
near us split in two of its own accord,
a cube of some twenty-five or thirty
feet just missing our quarter by only
foot or two. "Bergs to the right OF
them, bergs to the le1t OF tneH, DerSs
on top of them," I heard somebody
say as we caught our breath at this
miraculous escape. The ship was
now quite at the mercy of the drift
ing ice, and with the pressure from
the outer pack the Roosevelt again
careened to starboard. knew that
if she were driven any higher on to
the shore we would have to discharge
a large part Of the coal in order to
tighten her sufficiently to get her off
again, so 1 decided to dynamite the
ice.
1 told Bartlett to get out his bat
teries and dynamite and to smash the
ice between the Roosevelt and the
heavy foes outside, making a soft
cushion for the ship to rest on. The

son as will insure good anu QUICK
termination. Cultivation similar to
what the corn requires is all that is
necessary. Weeds and grass should
always be kept down and the soil
mulched with loose earth by frequent
cultivation with small toothed imple-
ments. On land that will produce
thirty or forty bushels of corn per
acre one stalk of broom corn should
be left every four or five inches and
thinner as the soil becomes less pro-
ductive. 1t is important to have a
full stand, as there Is great tend
ency to sucker when the plants are
too thin on the land and the brush
from suckers is rarely of any value
and is not ready to harvest with
the remainder of the crop.
The tops should be cut eight inches
below the head when the broom Is
falling and before the seed are filled
out, if the best quality Of brush is
obtained. The brush is Immediately
hauled out and the seeds stripped of
the same day. The seed stripping, on
a large scale, is done by machinery
that may be purchased from manu-
facturers. Improvised methods like
the curry comb with long teeth or
steel spiked comb attached to frame
or side of a box answers very well
where there is only small quaint
ty of brush to be stripped.
The curing in order to preserve
the green color, must be done under
roof and away from the sunlight
The tops from which the seed have
been removed are spread in layers
three inches thick on latticed racks
where there is free circulation Of air
When no juice can be sqeezed out Of
the stalks by twisting them, the cur
ing is complete and the brush should
be removed from the racks. This
will require from four to six weeks
It is then bulked for period of two
weeks to go through sweat when II
is ready to be baled. The tops
should be very carefully sorted into
different grades, as mixed brush
never sells we'll. The bailing is done
with horse power press. The top:
are Tapped together in, the middle o.
the bale and the butts stand out al
each end. Bales usually weigh abou
three hundred pounds.
The crop requires very careful ane
prompt work at every step and con
siderable outlay in the way Of equip
ment is necessary. If one has hat
no experience in the growing o.
broom corn, it would be we'll to star
on a small scale and learn many
things from experience about thu
business that it is impossible to ge

Broom Corn.

: The following information in ref
erenee to the growing of broom corn
has been sent out by the agricultural
department of Clemson College:
Broom corn is a species of sorgum
grown especially for it's tops which
are used in manufacturing brooms.
The crop is one about which inquiry
Is frequently made by farmers and
! the following is written partly in an
swer to such questions. 1t is not a
great money crop, not more so than
cotton If equal to it, and requires
more in the way of equipment for it's
handling, more labor at harvest time,
and more skill in preparing it for
market than does the cotton crop.
1T is crop in which the profits de-
pend very largely upon the quality
OF the product offered for sale, the
price ranging from SIS up to about
800 per ton according to the quail
ty. Five hundred pounds of cured
brush per acre is considered a fair
yield.
The best quality of broom corn
must be straight, of good length,
fine texture and cured in such man
ner as to be good green color when
put on the market. There are two
kinds grown, one known as the stand
ard broom corn and the other as
dwarf. This latter is grown exten-
sively in the central west.
In order to secure the quality OF
stalk mentioned above it is very i'm
portant to have well bred seed and it
is almost impossible to buy such seed
in the open markets. One going into
the business of growing the crop
should begin at once to select seed
with the view of improving the plants
from year to year.
Any soil that will grow sorghum
will produce broom corn and the
fertilizer applied need not differ from
that used on the corn crop when the
same quality Of land is cultivated
Since the object in view is uni
form product in quality and time OF
maturing, great care should be taken
in preparing the soil. It should be
well plowed and then narrowed and
reharrowed until a fine seed bed is
secured.
Late planting is best on account
of the fact that the young plants
make a very slow growth when the
weather is at all cool, and the croI
will come into, head at season when
there is not liable to be much. rain
The seed should be fertilized with q
planter that is adjusted to drop a
few more seed than you want plants
