Removing Rocks

On mimy farms rlioro aio large rocks, both unsightly and troublosome. Where too heavy for handling, blasting with powder or bursting by water in winter, ure commoii nioans used, but a writcr in tho Aiiwriran Farm Journal gives another lid safor mcthod. He snys: " If the r.ock is buriud in tlic ground, dig aroumf it sa as to exposé tho geater nat of it, tlicn build a wood flro uround and over it, so as to heat it hot. The expansión causcd by the heat usually causes the rock to burst in siaall pieces, hut if it iloiw not, dïaw the ftro-brands quiofcly i'roni the top, and djish onj a pail or two oí cold water. This solduia if ever fails, as tUu sudden eontraction of the outor surfaco causes it to break. I saw one Roken in this way-, which oontained three wagon loads. A few trials will shöw-about the amount of firo that is reJiiircd."
