Better Farming with Atlas Farm Powder Place the explosive as low as possible between the cakes of ice without putting it too deeply in the water. If the gorge is narrow and short, the charge may be placed near the centre toward the front or down-stream end.

Remember that somewhere down in front and along the sides are certain key-cakes which lock the whole jam. Place the powder so that these cakes will be shattered, then the main gorge will break up. An electric blasting ma- chine is the best means of firing the charges, but the firing may be done with fuse and caps satisfactorily if fuses of all the charges needed are lit quickly, so that little time elapses between the dif- ferent Ice gorges frequently cause serious flooding by damming back streams. They may be removed in five minutes with a few pounds of Atlas Farm Powder. A Quick Way to Kill Groundhogs Groundhogs (woodchucks) often cause much damage by eating and knocking down clover, wheat and corn and burrowing holes which cause injury to stock. They may be exterminated or driven away with Atlas Farm Powder. When the groundhog is in his bur- and fuse. Stop up the mouth of the row explode a stick of powder 4 or 5 hole before firing. The force and feet back from the entrance. Prepare fumes of the explosion will kill the ani- the charge in the usual way, with a cap mal. Loosening Logs and Coal with Explosives Log piles, post piles, wood piles, coal in cars and piles and other material often freeze so tight that they cannot be loosened by hand without excessive labor. Atlas Farm Powder will shake them loose without damaging the material or throwing it about. Place a light charge near the bottom of the pile next to or underneath the "key"—that is, the log, post or place under the pile which when pulled out would bring the material down. Fire with fuse and cap or blasting machine.
