 stock Demonstration.

Writing of the recent demonstration of the possibilities of farming with dy- namite, a South Woodstock cores pondent sets down the following: At an expense of five cents for each hole, or ss an acre, 20 per cent. dynamite in quarter pound sticks was detonated in 2o-inch borings, two inches in diam eter. The borings were 20 feet apart.
 Each explosion which left a pulver- ized spot, was supposed to have loes- ened up the subsoil for a radius of 10 feet at depth of 30 inches. This invis- fble disorganization, liberating ele- ments, was good, the demonstrator said, for ten years.
 The old OK pastures in which the demonstrations were made had not been plowed for 75 years, the soil being composed of loarn. mould and clay. The top soil is netted with roots. A half pound of 20 per cent. explosives at cost of eight cents. including caps and fuses, areated a 30 inch posthole and knocked down an old fence. A 40 per cent. stick weighing one pound blew out a post hole five feet in diam eter. The expense of the dynamite, fuse and cap was 20 cents.
