A pedestrian crossing a street
directly has the right-of-way over
automobiles, but must look out for
street cars. In crossing the street
diagonally. the pedestrian is taking
his own risk. These are rules laid

BLASTING OF LARGE
STUMPS IS CHEAPER
EXPERT TELLS HOW TO CLEAR
LOGGED LANDS--WHERE TO
PLACE POWDER.
BY HARRY THOMPSON,
United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

mCHI vi A6
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Explosives
have come to be used quite generally
in removing stumps from logged-off
land. This is especially true of the
Pacific coast section, where large
stumps predominate. In this section
it is impractical, often impossible, to
pull the large stumps before splitting
and loosening them by the use Of Z
charge Of stumping powder. When
large stumps are pulled without hrst
being blasted their disposal will often
cost more than the pulling cost. II
is next to impossible to pile them by
the use of . team and blocks 20 that
they will burn. Splitting them even
by the use of powder 10 hard propo-
sition.
Unless there are many worthless
logs and tree tops to pile with them
It is very hard to burn solid. unsplit
stumps. They often require to be re-
piled more than once.
On the other hand, when stumps
are blasted by the use Of small
charges Of powder. Just large enough
to split and loosen the ,stumps with
out throwing them out of the ground,
they may then be removed by the
use of the stump-puller. team with
blocks and line, or a power outfit.
When the pieces of such stumps are
piled they usually burn quite read
lily. In some cases more powder IL
used in order to remove the stump
entirely, or the largest part of 1t, so
that direct pull of horse or team
will remove any remaining root.
This is not practical where the large
stumps are found, but may be done
in some sections where the white
pine stumps predominate.
Many Settlers Hesitate.
Many settlers on logged-off land
hesitate to use powder to blast
stumps because of the danger con-
nected with the handling Of explo-
sives. While there is an element OF
danger in their use, any one who Is
ordinarily careful can safely handle
the low-grade powders used in stump
blasting. All powder should be used
when fresh. Never accept or try to
use powder that has been on hand
for a considerable length Of time. or
that shows by the wrappers that 1t
has been Subjected to varying de-
grees of heat. Powder that has been
frozen should not be purchased un-
less adequate means for storing
are provided.
The time at which the blasting OF
stumps can be done most econom-
ically is when the soil is we'll filled
with moisture. At this time the
water fills the air spaces and the
stumps leave the earth more easily.
The saving is very apparent in loose
sandy soil. Stumps in such soils
should never be blasted when the
soil is dry.
In all but exceptional cases Of
stumping it is better to use powder
of a strength equal to 20 to 80 per
cent nitroglycerine powder, rather
than higher explosives. Powders Of
the above grades are found to give
as good results at less expense than
the higher grades.
No man should attempt to use
powder without first thoroughly ia

Here's a humble suggestion to
our farmer friends and others who
have machinery or implements OF
any kind. When you finished with
them ior the season, why not clean
them carefully. oil them up to pre-
vent :ust, and house them in some
way or other to keep them out Of the
destructive winter weather? Rains
and wind and snow do more harm
to them than the work you accom-
plish with them. 1t is simply a
matter Of horse sense economy.

During the holidays of Xmas at times

tend for everything to be on the bright
side at first; if SO, Jesus would have
never been crucified and many of us can
imagine how sad and dark the hours
must have been then. Therefore we do
not know what we shall reap nor when
we soweth. But for some cause L feel
and pray that some good deed may
happen from this accident, for God
knoweth ,best, for he is the same to-

and kindness they gave to me during
