Queer Farming Method«. “Strange are some of the farming methods of California.” said Benjamin Mann, who recently returne from a visit to the Pacific Coast "One day m the vine «-ountry I heard a tremen­ dous bang, banging, and started from my seat, thinking that a dreadful ex­ plosion had occurred. But my host told me. with a laugh, that tbe men were merely plowing with dynamite. Then he went on to explain that when it was desired to loosen up the soil tn a depth of throe feet or so dyna­ mite cartridges were set in the earth and fired off. They broke up the ifround beautifully. They did the work much better, and much more cheaply, than any machine ot other manual labor could do. And. la addi­ tion to this, they destroyed the para­ site called the phylloxera, the bane of tbe vine-grewer. No vineyard whose soil has been dynamited, my host said. <*ver suffered from the phylloxera af­ terward." I
