A Warning. 
A beginner will require 50 lbs. of explosive to give the method a 
thorough trial. He should start on medium-sized sound stumps, as 
they are easier to operate on. Necessary case should be observed 
when handling explosives, and he should be extremely careful of the 
detonators. He should also bear in mind that large bits Qf wood will 
sometimes fly 150 yards. Detonators should never be stored and kept 
with explosives in the same receptacle.
