TILLING THE SOIL WITH DYNAMITE. Probably no stranger use for dynamite has ever been devised than its substitution in placo of the plow for the tilling- of clay land. It is being put to such a use on a considerable experimental scale in Kanaas and by a planter of Spartanburg, S. C. The cartridges are planted 3 ft. apart, in rows, and at a depth of 4 ft. The holes are made by driving crowbars to the desired depth. The dynamite is exploded by a line of men, provided with red-hot irons. The line goes rapidly down; the field, tho explosions following the men in a steady roar that is deafening. Tbo explosions throw clouda of soil 30 ft. into tho air and cover the mon from head to foot with dust and dirt.
