HOW TO READ AND USE 



THIS BOOK 



This book has a double purpose, namely, to present the advantages 

 of using Red Cross Dynamite on the farm, and to give detailed instruc- 

 tions as to the best methods of using same. 



Every farmer, orchardist or other person interested in a farm 

 or orchard should read this book from cover to cover at least once, 

 in order to get a general idea of the utility of Red Cross Dynamite 

 on the farm, and how to handle it safely, economically and efficiently. 



Next consider how you could use Red Cross Dynamite to advan- 

 tage on your farm or in your orchard. Then figure out how much 

 Red Cross Dynamite you need and order it at -least three weeks in 

 advance of the time you expect to use it. Then spend your spare 

 time during those three weeks in carefully studying all of the instruc- 

 tions that pertain to the particular uses of Red Cross Dynamite that 

 apply to your proposed work. 



It is especially necessary that you become thoroughly familiar 

 with the method of priming Red Cross Dynamite cartridges and of 

 charging bore holes. 



A great deal of information can also be obtained by reading the 

 letters from farmers and orchardists who have had experience in the 

 use of Red Cross Dynamite, as their descriptions of methods em- 

 ployed contain many good practical points. 



It must be borne in mind that to the average farmer, dynamite 

 is something absolutely new which he has never even seen and 

 knows practically nothing about. He cannot therefore do too much 

 reading about Red Cross Dynamite so that when he does handle it 

 he will not injure himself through ignorance or carelessness, but 

 will use it intelligently, safely and profitably.
