from recognized retail merchants.
THAT wholesalers and manuiac-
turers who have sold consumers have
been blacklisted and that consumers
buying from manufacturers have met
the same fate.
That the purpose Of the lumber or

FARMING WITH DYNAMITE.
Experiments Prove Value of Exploslv,
in Agriculture and Draining.
lNeN; York Herald.

Farming with dynamite" was given
a practical and successful test in the
presence Of prominent agriculturists
at the experimental station Of Peter
Henderson & Co., seedsmen and flor
lists in Hudson county boulevard, near
Audubon avenue, Jersey City. That
dynamite is an excellent agent for
holes for r planting, was demon
strated beyond question in a series of
experiments in which experts explod-
ed fifty pounds of dynamite.
The experiments were made solely
to demonstrate the utility of dynamite
in the treatment of soils so as to rem
del them more productive agriculture
ally. The theory. as was explained by
Mr.. Russell. was that the effect that a
dynamite explosion in subsoil was to
render 1t porous and spongelike, thus
conserving moisture and inducing
greater and deeper root development,
making crops less susceptible to hot,
dry spells and greatly increasing the
size and yield Of products.
Under the direction Of Mr.. Wolf a
series Of holes 33 inches deep and Is
feet apart were dug with the aid Of a
crowbar. Half Of a dynamite cart
and carefully tamped. The dynamite
was placed at a depth of nine inches,
and all Of the cartridges we're wired
so that the explosions were simultane-
GUS.
The first discharges were in groups
of sixteen holes to demonstrate the
power Of dynamite in rendering sub
soil porous for the growing of wheat
and other cereals. The explosion
fifteen feet from the point Of dis
charge. the hard soil being disintegrat.
ed and rendered porous. The pres.
ence Of dead grubs and other insects
injurious to plant life indicated tina,
they were unable to Withstand the
deadly effects of the explosions.
About seventy-fve holes were due
and blown out during the day. re
prove that the use Of dynamite war
foot holes were sunk in the center OF
a miniature lake which, it was ex.
planned. never had been drained
Eleven pounds of dynamite were
tamped into the holes and exploded
with the result that within twent.
minutes the lax had disappeared, in.
dicating that the subsoil had been
~pulverized to a degree which permit.
ted 1t to absorb the water.
Several trees were planted, some in
holes dug with spades. others in holes
made by dynamite. the purpose being
to show tho effects upon the trees
within a years time. The system is in
vogue in New England. northern New
York. New Jersey. Delaware and sew
eral other states in the west, but it ie
not In general use. The cost OF
farming by dynamite" is fixed at APP
proximately IS an acre, and 1t is said
that the treatment need not be re-
peatcd for five years. Meanwhile, the
experts say, the yield. because Of the
dynamite treatment. will be increased
two and often three fold.

the $4,000 insurance carried by Nc
Cue at the time OF his execution.
The fact that three justices of the
court hold policies in the insurance
company, the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance company of Wisconsin,
nearly prevented the courts passing
on the suit. Their failure to sit in
the case would reduce the court to
four. less than n quorum. but Justice
McKenna recalled that the point had
come up before and the justices hold
ing policies participated on the theory
that their interests were too remote
