FARMING WITH DYNAMITE.

From an eloquent pamphlet Issued

tasks of extracting stumps, starting
log and ice jams and breaking up
boulders, dynamite is Just the thing,
Il seems, for digging bitches, telling
trees and excavating cellars. Blowing
a hole TO set an apple tree is cheaper
than digging one and it kills bugs and
ioosens the ground so that the tree
grows better besides. says the New
York World. Dynamite charges set
OF eight or ten feet apart to break
up subsoil restore fertility TO worn

with the idyhlc calm Of rural pursuits,
but it is too late TO complain. The

Gets Water Supply $50 Miles Distant

los ANGELES-Six years ago the
Il people of Los Angeles voted an is
sue of $24,00O,00O in bonds to pay for
what they consider the finest supply Of
water furnished to any city in the
world. The first issue Of bonds was
made in 1907 and the last will be made
this year The aqueduct, which is $50
miles long, will bring a sufficient
amount of water to supply a city of
100000 inhabitants across the coun-
try from Owens lake.
The first 20 miles of the aqueduct is
open earth canal which follows the
canyon Of Owens river. The next 80
miles is an open concrete conduit, laid
upon the mountain sides, which follows
their contour like q mountain road.
For 28 miles the conduit rests in
bitches carved from the rocky walls,
and for an equal distance is sustained
by artificial causeways of rocks. 1t
next passes $50 miles through the Mo
jave desert, on the edge Of Death val
ley, the most desolate and forbidding
spot in the United States, and passing
under the Sierra Madre range Of
mountains emerges into Los Angeles
