BlastIno at the Canal,

In the last Eve years the operations
on the Panama canal have required
40,Os2,s50 pounds Of dynamite for
blasting. or an average OF s,0l6.67O
pounds per year. The estimates fol
the year ending June 80. 1912. are 8.
500. 900 and for the IL months follow
Ing only 1855 500 The comparatively
small amount for the latter is due 10
the approaching completion OF the ex
cavation work. which will make the
total OF dynamite used over $4,000. 900
pound.. Reckoned by tons, that will
be $4,000 tons, which sounds bigger
or smaller according to the mind OF
the person reading It.
For the coming fiscal year the esti
mated need Of other materials for
blasting 10 $4,000 blasting caps. 1.s4C

DOGS FOR FARM WORK
AZ VALUABLE As TRUsrY HIRED
MEN, GAYS WRITER.
American AerIeulturists Have Not suf.
fleIsntIy Appreciated Their Wide
Usefulness, Though IL 10 Roo
oonized In Europe.

In England and Scotland farmers
learned long ago the value OF dogs
to farm work. There the universal Gus
tom is to have dogs daily do their
part the same as trusty hired men.
Here in America, however. few farm
ers know the value Of q well-trained
dog. We are the losers because OF
this fact. We will learn, of course
In years to come; and working dogs
that are a daily help will replace the
countless farm help insists now i'm
posing on the farmers generosity.
1t once happened that the owner OF
some sheep dogs worked them back
and forth among fiocks Of sheep al
the same place where many farmers
were assembled in convention. The
farmers witnessed the work the dogs
were doing as the sheep were moved
from barns to pasture, through pens
gates and lanes. They were amazed
to find them 50 helpful and wondered
at their intelligence. They saw them
60 quietly around the edges OF q pas
ture and gather In the sheep from
far away, while the owner waited al
the gate. They saw them herd the
sheep along the lanes. doing work two
men could not have done. And they
profited by what they saw.
They began to believe that the use
full dog will eventually be on most
American farms. when We get to
studying more carefully for ways and
means to save work and expense. II
may be on some large estates many
leaving little opportunity for anyone
to train a dog. But on the average
farm this Is not the case. .
