who gradually drove away or eKter-

USING DYNAMITE TO
REMOVE OLD STUMPS
Advantages of Its Use for Clear
ing Land of Large Obstacles
Are Very Great.

Recent investigations Of the use OF
dynamite for stump removal show that
il is fully as economical as any other
method with the possible exception of
very small stumps, and for large
stumps the advantages in its use are
very great.
In the western or coast states where
large trees are the rule, dynamite Is
commonly employed for this purpose
and practically every farmer or farm
er's boy is a practical blaster. They
handle this high explosive without ac-
cident because they have found 1t no
more dangerous than gasoline. 1t is
simply one OF those things that has to
be handled with horse sense and or
binary care. The process is very sim
pie. A hole is bored underneath the
stump with large dirt auger, the hole
being usually at an angle of As de-
grees to the ground level. The dyna-
mite cartridge is primed with a full
inmate cap which has been crimped
on the end of a fuse and the car
fridge is then showed down to the bot
tom of the hole and tamped In with
some damp earth. A match Is applied
to the fuse which is long enough to
give the farmer plenty OF time to get
away for $50 feet or so, and shortly
after there is boom and the stump is
blown clear of the earth and shat
tered into firewood. Investigation of
the hole shows the roots torn loose
from the earth for a radius OF about
two yards from the stump and nearly
all the dirt that surrounded the stump
roots has fallen back into the hole
after the blast. The stump parts them
selves are found free from dirt as the
blast clears them of completely. The
roots are left in such shape that a
few blows with an AK will free every
one of them, so that a pillow can be
run over the old location of the stump
in almost every case without any diff.
hculty whatever.
