ADVANTAGES OF EXPLOSIVES.

The Dupont Powder Company, Of
Wilmington, Delaware, the Oldest and
largest concern Of its kind in the
world, has been instrumental In re-
claiming thousands Of acres of waste
land that was considered by the own.
ers as positively being worthless.
This has been done by the use OF ex.
plosiyes as intelligently applied TO
agriculture.
The company has been giving dem.
onstrations in all parts Of the United
States, making clear to the farmers
the advantages to be obtained by the
scientific use Of dynamite. One Of the
greatest advantages is the breaking
up OF the soil so that 1t viii take IN
the rainfall. This causes the ground
to retain moisture and is conducive, to
the growing crops that have deep
roots. The subsolllng process is esf
pecially adapted to the growing OF al
falfa and is invaluable to the orchard
list.
During the past month Mr.. E. H.
Taylor, the local representative OF the
company, has been giving practical
demonstrations of this character at
Parkersburg, Clarksburg, Weston, Bel
ington, Elkins and Buckhannon. On
Friday afternoon at O'clock Mr.. Tay-

Not Afraid OF a Ghost.

In a village in England a man
went running into an inn at 9
o'clock at night and cried out that
there was a ghost in his back yard
There we're fourteen men in the
inn, and not one OF them dared to
90 home with the man and investi-
gate. There was person who
dared. however, and that was the
landlords daughter, a girl Of four
teen, Some Of the men followed
her at a distance, and she went into
the yard and up to the ghost, fap-
ping its arms about, and discovered
a mans white shirt tapping on the
clothesline in a strong breeze.
That's about the way'all ghosts turn
out.-Exchange.
