Farming With Dynamite,

Farming With Dynamite.
The use Of dynamite on the farm, or, %
it has been SO aptly called, alarming with
dyuamite,". has passed the experimental
stages, and is now as much part Of mod
ern farm practice as is scientific farm
ing", or the use of power machinery.
Contrary to general belief, the use Of
dynamite manufactured especially for
farm purposes, is safer than the handling
OF ordinary gunpower. The prejudice
against dynamite is largely due to the
somewhat frequent explosions Of dyna-
mite factories. Invariably these accidents
happen during the process OF making the
explosive, and are never caused by the
finished product.
The few cases OF injury Of users of dyna-
mite on the farm have, without exception,
been caused by the foolhardy action Of
the victims inspecting the charge imme-
diately upon its failure to explode. The
advice OF experts is: "If dynamite fails to
explode, 60 away and come back next
week." While this is not to be taken
literally, in 90 far as the period OF time is
concerned, 1t does point the way to posi-
tive prevention Of accidents.
The use OF dynamite in farming is ex,-
tremely simple. While the cost Of per-
forming the various operations Of stump
and boulder blasting, ditch digging, sub
soil "plowing" hardpan blasting, ETC., va
ries with conditions, it is in every case de-
cidedly lower than the cost OF accomplish
ing the same results by manual labor o.
with mechanical appliances.
Subsoil ''plowing" or the breaking up
Of the lower layers OF earth, results, in
many instances, in almost doubling the
productiveness Of farm lands, for the
simple reason that the natural plant food
in the lower strata is made available, and .
largely increased water storage is created.
The blasting of hardpan produces equally
beneficial results.

If merchants could be in the
country homes when the coun-
ty papers are received they
would appreciate more fully
the value Of advertising. Tie
county papers are read from
top to bottom and every adver-
tisement comes in for it's share
of comment. Bargain sales are
always scrutinized and discuss
ed and if the bargain Is a good
one the advertisement never
fails to bring results. There
would be little money sent to
the mail order houses it mer-
chants would advertise prices
more than they do. There is
no use of talking against such
n u S e 8 as Sears Roebuck,
Montgomery Ward & Co., and
numerous other mail order
houses, unless the merchant
quotes reasonable prices and
then delivers the goods lie ad
vertises. There are many mer
chants who claim to compete
with mail order houses but
they sell inferior goods and
give a black eye to the legiti-
III late dealer who does as he
agrees. The farmer had much
rather trade in his neighhor-
hood towns but insists on q
square deal.
