. Better farming with Atlas farm powder, the safest explosive, the original farm powder. Explosives in agriculture. Miscellaneous Work Quarrying with Atlas Powder If you are buying explosives especially for quarrying, get Atlas Powder Extra 30 per cent, or 40 per cent. Atlas Farm Powder will do the work very well if you have it on hand. Often it is of advantage to obtain stone for foundations, etc., from off the farm. Boulders when blasted in a good many in- stances will furnish just what is wanted as well as clearing the land. When quarrying it is better to expose the rock you want by stripping the dirt off the surface. If this dirt is of any depth Atlas Farm Powder will remove it cheaply. After the rock is exposed it may be broken up with Atlas Powder in a mudcap charge, as described in boulder blasting, provided there is a projecting ledge. A better way is to drill a hole in the rock. Deep holes and heavy charges will bring down. A small charge of Atlas Farm Powder would quickly permit widening road at curve, avoiding accident from collision and possible bank slide. more rock in proportion than shallow holes and light charges. It is well to give consideration to the cost of getting ready to quarry, that is, the cost of stripping or removing the dirt off the rock, the kind of stone desired^ etc. Often the hauling costs make it profitable to do your own quarrying when you have the kind of stone and the quantity you desire. Write us telling in detail what quantity of stone you want; if the rock is not exposed tell us the depth of the stripping and the kind of rock. With this information we could give you an estimate as to costs. The work of digging gravel can be cheapened greatly by using small charges of Atlas Farm Powder. This loosens the gravel, allowing easy shoveling. The use of Atlas Farm Powder is par- ticularly helpful in cold weather. It permits hauling at least twice as much as when you depend on old hand pick work. 81. Please note that these images are ex
