and glance TO tho great country northwest OF

country capable of furnishing an addition
to the wheatfelds OF nifty millions of acres.
II We look to Africa there 10 the great fertile

Blasting RoWlders

DROFESSOR STEWART. chief OF tho

not economical TO break rocks by pacing OK

very high grade and large quantity of dyn1-
mite In such case IL the bowldcr is hard
the attempt VIII often result in failure. The
efficiency of this method may be somewhat
Increased by laying the explosive i'm deprcs-
sion in the rock and covering ii with wet
clay
Another method is to make hole with Il
long auger or spade through the earth to
point under the. center of the rock and place
the explosive there. tamping the hole fun OF
dirt afterward. This method is much more
satisfactory than the first though 1t many
times throws the rock out Of tho ground un-
broken
The surcst method and the one requiring
the least explosive. is 10 drill a hole in the
rock and tomp In the charss with damp clay
The proper plan where a large number
of rocks are TO be broken up. Is TO do a little
clperimqntlng Try each of these methods

and the results, and from these determine the
