Cashier, and all,, and a 3 oxen or moro stumps ware pull?, up by th? roots i\nd the I largo orowd assomblod witnessed a te&turo of twentieth century fanning, operations that' was lntonsely Inter? esting. The crowd that oume to see those things was maxle up of every? day farmors from all around In this neighborhood, and the troHuy cars and something more than a dozon_autorno bllcs brought out many Richmond and suburban agriculturists, who are mak? ing a study of oultlvatlng the soil by modorn methods, among them not a few charming women. These agricul? turists, men and women, came from Westhampton farms, from Olnter Fork, from Forest HUI, from, South Rich? mond and other nearby agricultural regions Somebody has defined a farmer as the man or thn woman who makes l\|s or her money on the farm and "blows It In" In the city, and tho agriculturist as the 'man or woman who muk?s his or her money In the city and blows It on the farm. It Is possible that the majority, a small majority, of tho crowd out horo to-day was made up of agriculturists, according to tho above definition. These paid very strict at? tention to the lectures of the demon? strators In dynamlto and tho others, tho farmers paid particular attention to the visible results after the dyna? mlto had dona Its work, and all went away satisfied. The demonstrators wero men from a powder company, A. H. Burkholder and H. E. Frist. All the morning these two experts, with a small force of hands, were kept busy getting thy land ready for tho demonstration, and by 2 o'clock, tho appointed time, tho demonstration commenced, and In tho menntlmo tho crowd of 300 or more htvd assembled to seo und to learn all about the use of dynamite on the fnrm. A measured half-acre was first sub soiled, tho holes for the dynamlto cartridges having been made fifteen feet apart, requiring ninety-eight charges of d^ynamlte for the hnlf-acro. A dozen holes for tree planting had also been made and properly charged. Betoro lightning tho fuses tbo demonstrators' mado short talks, fully explaining tho uses of dynamite In farming, how to operate It and how to do the work with the element of danger to life and limb cut out. They also told the assembled crowd of tho advantages of plowing with tho explosive- The farm? ers and tho agriculturists took much Interest In these lectures, and ques? tioned tho leoturors very closely. A11J 01 the qucstlona were satisfactorily answered.
