We simply mention this in passing.
Dynamite is now very essential factor in farm
life 1t hasn't been very many years ago how
ever, since the of dynamite was confined to work
in stone quarries and Mines the average man know
ing nothing about it and wanting nothing to do with
It Although there still some people who prick
up their ears whenever the word dynamite is
muntioned the majority of farmers use it to greater
or less extent
The first use to which dynamite was put in this
immediate locality which by the way is sill
adhered to- the uprootng of stumps of trees and
rocks centuries old, making tllable land where
nothing grew before.
The Dupont Powder Co., in recent book
entitled Farming with Dynamite does not confine
its use to the above mentioned things but gives it
broader sphere of usefulness Practical experiments
have shown that it is unequalled for digging holes in
which to plant trees and posts for blowing and
digging bitches This may seem to some far-crv
from the original of this explosive, yet it is being
tried and tried successfully each year by experienced
men.

 "The town is infested with sturdy beg gars and panhandlers. who walk the streets almost unmolested and take by force, when they can, what Is denied to their pleadings; criminals from all over the country have come to New York in droves and ply their vacations here .n safety: the more serious crimes, such as murders,' shootings, stabbings, gang feuds. highway robberies. burglaries, as- sauts and larcenies grow in number un- deterted.

DEMOCRATS VOTE
 ID HOLD CAUCUS

Albany, N. Y. March 22.-Without opposition or debate the democratic members of the legislature al con ference this afternoon voted to hold another caucus to select a candidate for United States senator. The insur- gents joined the regulars in the con- ference which lated but a few minutes. This fact tended to strengthen the be- lief expressed by many that William F. Sheehan has been practically eliminated despite vigorous denials by some of his friends.
 Senator Roosevelt, after the adjourn ment of the conference, would not say whether he or his fellow insurgents would enter the new caucus.
 Governor Dix seemed more hopeful of an early solution of the matter after the conference than he has ever been. "I want the party to settle the ques- tion.' he said, 50 that the democrats may be represented in Congress when it meets in special session."
