EXPERIMENTS With
DYNAMITE.
CARROLL COUNTY FARMERS AGREE ITO
TRY NEW METHOD.

Dynamite still the terror of the
unintiated, and supposed by them to
be only useful i'm big blasting opera
tions under expert management, is
probably destined to find its great
est purpose in assisting the farmer,
by blowing out the stumps and bould-
ers that burden his land, digging
bitches for irrigation, and blowing
his ground and cultvating his orch
ards.
Yesterday afternoon, FULLY $50 Car
roll countians witnessed a demon
stration OF the uses OF dynamite in
Glowing up stumps, on the farm Of
B. T. Shriver CO. adjoining the Ferti-
lizer Works under the auspices of
the Du Pont Powder Company a Fl.
Burkholder assisted by G. P. Smith,
performed these feats i'm dynamiting
for the benefit of the interested on
lockers, explaining meanwhile, mat
ters relating to stump blasting, sub
soiling and tree planting.
The retail price for subsoiling is
6 cents per holer allowing the holes
to be Is feet apart, and 1914 holes to
the acre,-and the wholesale price
would be cheaper. a half-stick of
dynamite is the average amount used
for each charge.
Mr.. Burkholder claims that old
worn-out orchards can be brought to
make big yields by the blasting pro-
cess; the ground being thoroughly
broken up under the surface soil
makes an easy path for the roots 50
that they spread out and have a large
1-s III
plant food. 1t ia44 also claimed that
trees planted by dynamite come into
bearing sooner ard yield more heav-
lily than those planted in the old way
the increase is said to be 80 per
cent.
That the farmers in this county
were much interested in the expert
ments, yesterday, il demonstrated by
the fact that from % to 80 of them
have decided to use this method il
planting their orchards. We shall
be glad to hear what results they
will have.

laundering activities or children
compared, with a plan submitted to
Postmaster d. "A. Campbell, OF Chi
cago, recently.
This plan is nothing more nor less
than to feed rats to cats, skin the
cats and feed the cats back to the
rats, in endless succession, the only
break being the deduction OF the cat
skins, the sale of which is to supply
the profit The writer outlining his
plan, said:
I'VE will start cat ranch, getting
100000 cats. Each will have II
kittens a year. Catskins are worth
10 cents if white and rs cents If
black. There's 100000 catskins a
year, daily gross income OF some
$4,000.
a man will skin so cats for 81 Land
1t will take 100 men TO operate the
ranch, leaving our profit over $4,000
day. We1l have to feed the cats.
How?
Start rat ranch next door, Rats
multiply four times as fast as cats
We will have, therefore, four rats a
day for each cat-a plenty. How to
feed the rats?
Simple; feed them on the cats
bodies-a fourth Of cat per day per
rat-amply sufficient. Thus, you see,
the business will be self-supporting
and automatic all the way. The cats
will eat the rats and the rats will eat
, the cats, and we set the skins and
wealth. Are you with me?"
